Nicole Spenc Outdoors Entrepreneur

Known for showing the rest of us how it’s done on Instagram and YouTube, Nicole Spenc also owns and single-handedly operates Nicole’s Fishing Bed and Breakfast (nicolespenc.com), offering a range of lodging including houseboats, plus charter and guide bookings, in Venice, Louisiana. She’s a spokesperson for Bubba Blade and Salt Life. We caught up to Nicole, appropriately, in the Florida Keys, fresh from boating her third swordfish in two days.

We can see you on Instagram and YouTube, but how would you describe yourself?

I’m a social media influencer who inspires more women to get outdoors. I also own a bed and breakfast.

What are some of the challenges that you face on a daily basis?

It’s a man’s world, but I like to fish, hunt, go mudding…everything outdoors. What fuels your fire? You can do anything.

Were you always into the outdoors?

I’m from Cocoa Beach, Florida, where my father was a commercial fisherman. Fishing is in my blood.

Any ties between fishing and entrepreneurship? Turning minor setbacks into major comebacks!

Any parting words?

Life is precious. Focus on the journey, not the destination.
