Matt Walden runs the website and YouTube channel named Walden Glove. But his journey to launching those two entities is unlike anyone else's within the baseball glove industry. Shortly after graduating college, Matt began a career in Japan where he was immersed in the "pro-shop" culture of Japanese sporting goods. And even though baseball wasn't on his mind at the time, his experience in Japan eventually led to him beginning his baseball website and YouTube channel that delivers unique break-in tools and methods while also educating customers on gloves. 00:00: Introduction 00:35: Matt Walden of Walden Glove 1:50: Where are you from? 2:25: Growing up, were you a big baseball fan? 3:35: Being a Dodgers fan, did you listen to Vin Scully on the radio? 4:20: Were you a gearhead? 4:50: Where'd you go to college and what happened after that? 5:38: Living in Japan 6:32: What's your favorite part of Japanese culture? 7:04: While in Japan, was baseball always in the forefront of your mind? 9:05: How did you get into baseball sporting goods? 12:57: Walden Glove Tools and Services Questions or Suggestions?
