215: How To Outwork & Outsmart Just About Anyone
About this episode
This week on the Overdog Podcast, Fern opens up about his own unconventional journey — one filled with risks, pivots, and a relentless drive to outwork and outsmart the competition. From his early career experiments to finding his way in the dog business, Fern shares how hard work, creativity, and a willingness to fail forward have shaped his success. You’ll hear personal stories that prove you don’t need to be the most talented person in the room if you’re willing to put in the work and take some big swings.

Fern explores why playing to your strengths, owning your outcomes, and doubling down on your passions can set you apart — even when the odds seem stacked against you. Get ready for some real talk that just might light a fire under you.
