Coffee and Van Chats Podcast: Ep. 6 Mark Satkiewicz (SBT GRVL/SBT VRTL)

On this weeks episode we chat with Mark Satkiewicz. Mark is the co founder of SBT GRVL. We chat with Mark about SBT Gravel cancelling along with the releasing the new SBT VRTL . Along with all that we dive into Mark past in high level industry marketing jobs which eventually brings him to being apart of one of the biggest gravel races in the country.

Also - the video for this podcast for some reason got deleted in the conversion which is a bummer...so this will only be available on the pre-existing podcast platforms.

So Sit back relax and enjoy.
