Shawn Gossman — Media Brand Builder (Hiking with Shawn)

Shawn Gossman

I’m Shawn Gossman. For nearly 10 years, I’ve built and grown Hiking with Shawn into a popular, monetized outdoor media brand.

On this site, I break down the exact systems I use, which are content, audience growth, and monetization, so that you can build a successful media brand in your own niche.

It starts with a niche, which should be your biggest passion. My biggest passion is hiking, and I grew a successful media brand from that niche.
