In this episode Nicole and Sarah host Jen Gurecki, the co- founder & CEO of Coalition Snow, a women-owned and operated Reno-based snowsports brand on a mission to deconstruct the status quo.Jen started skiing in high school and fell in love with it right away.  Jen's high school had a ski club that hosted affordable ski trips that helped her get time on snow. Jen was hooked. She's now primarily a snowboarder, but most of her team is made up of skiers. Jen tells us about her path from college to her work in outdoor education and how she came to the decision to start Coalition Snow and make skis and snowboards.  It started when Jen was disappointed by the lack of high performance ski and snowboard equipment for women and decided to fill that gap. She saw that the lack of representation of women across the industry - so she jumped in and figured out how to make skis and snowboards. Coalition Snow doesn't make a lot of beginner equipment, but that wasn't the void Jen saw in the industry - she wanted to make more advanced/expert equipment for women.  Jen tells us about some of the new equipment Coalition is launching in the coming seasons that she's excited about and where we can find their gear. Coalition sells direct to consumer and through a number of online retailers and in some physical locations.  Coalition has a unique approach to marketing, their presence is authentic - and Jen sees it as one tool to make snowsports more inclusive.

Kathryn and Kristi catch up with cyclist and diversity advocate Brooke Goudy. Brooke's love for cycling started as a child when she got her first bike as a Christmas present, and grew to a life-long passion. Brooke moved to Colorado and found a new passion in mountain biking, but she was struck by the lack of representation of people of color in the sport. This led her to seek out other women of color in the mountain biking community, and she joined the Denver branch of the national organization Black Girls Do Bike. Brooke is now the co-leader of the Black Girls Do Bike Denver, and continues her mission to help minority groups feel seen and represented in cycling. An impressive cyclist in her own right, this past summer Brooke rode the Tour Divide. The Great Divide Trail tour route travels from Banff, Canada all the way south to the US/Mexico border and stacks up nearly 200,000 vertical feet of climbing. The route took her 64 days to complete. She talks about what she learned along the way and how that time on the trail changed her perspective of what she was capable of, both on and off the bike. To learn more about Brooke, you can visit her website https://www.rowdygoudy.com and follow her on Instagram @brookegoudy.

We have heard many cyclists talk about how being on the bike brings them joy, but this week was different. This week, Kathryn and Kristi speak to Rachel about her journey to cycling and how they use biking to actualize joy - especially after 2020 and living in the center of a racial uprising. Rachel began mountain biking on a boyfriend's extra-large bike. Let's just say, this made them learn FAST. Rachel talks about her love of mountain bike racing and her lack of love for gravel racing. Finally, Rachel shares their experience living in Minneapolis after the murder of George Floyd as a biracial person.

We all know that folks can take racing very seriously. Madilynn Garcia takes racing seriously, but dances while doing it. Having fun on the course is important to her and her team, Stamina Racing. This week, Kristi and Kathryn talk to Madilynn about her journey to cycling, to Stamina Racing, and beyond. As a team that is dedicated to growth, inclusivity, and goofiness, Madilynn shares the values of the Stamina Racing Collective. The trio discusses what it means to be a "racer" and to do your best. Finally, Madilynn shares her experience of being a racer struggling with a hormonal imbalance. *** Support the Podcast *** InsideTracker: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feistyCoalition Snow: Learn about Coalition Snow's Far Out trips at https://www.coalitionsnow.com/pages/far-outMentioned in this episode:Inside Tracker - September 2022This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacyChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

The outdoors are gatekept. This isn't new news - outdoor sports primarily consist of white, cisgender people. Recently, gravel has made quite the splash as a sport working towards diversity. This week, Kathryn and Kristi talk to Elizabeth Allen about her experience as a black outdoor athlete. As an athlete that enjoys sports from outdoor climbing to mountain biking, Elizabeth shares what it is like to be a POC in these spaces. Sharing stories of the exclusivity of certain sports, Elizabeth offers tools for how we can all work to eliminate the barriers POC may face in the outdoor sports realm. *** Support the Podcast *** InsideTracker: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feistyCoalition Snow: Learn about Coalition Snow's Far Out trips at https://www.coalitionsnow.com/pages/far-outMentioned in this episode:Inside Tracker - September 2022This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacyChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Nicole Sin Quee believes that movement is a gift. And with movement, comes joy. We love this reframing, and that's why this week, Kathryn and Kristi chat with Nicole about all things movement. As a gravel cyclist, cyclo-cross racer, trail runner, triathlete, and bike-packer, she does a lot of it! Nicole shares her keys to success as such a dedicated athlete. The trio discusses what it's like to set goals, try your best, and show up. Now racing on a BIPOC cyclocross team, Be Cyclocross, Nicole explains just how much representation matters. Further, Nicole talks about how her decision to compete is completely contingent on her family being on board as well. As Nicole says, "if you believe in yourself, you can do hard things".

As part of the Feisty Media "Fueled is Fast" Campaign, Kathryn chats with Kristen Legan and Lauren De Crescenzo. As a longtime coach of athletes of all levels, Kristen gives a specific insight into diet culture in sport, conversations around LEA, and how she talks to her athletes about their periods. Having to optimize her athlete's nutrition for peak performance, Kathryn and Kristen have an intimate conversation about how to handle the difficult conversations between coach and athlete. Further, Kathryn chats with Lauren about her journey to and from a severe eating disorder at a young age. Lauren shares the societal pressure that led her to limit her eating in grade 9, the way that affected her youth, and how sport played a major role in her healing.

This week on the show Kathryn and Kristi are joined by Jen Gurecki. Jen is the CEO of Coalition Snow, creator of Apres Delight, and the founder of Zawadisha, a non-profit that provides small loans to women in rural Kenya to help finance their livelihoods. A true entrepreneur and problem solver, Jen talks about her experiences in Kenya and what inspired her to create a micro-lending program for women in rural communities there.  Jen is a self-proclaimed “accidental cyclist” whose first cycling trip was a 73-day trek from Kenya to South Africa. The trip inspired her love for two-wheeled adventures, and she has since taken many trips across the world. This summer, Jen will be leading an 11-day trip through Kenya that finished on the white sand beaches of Diani. The trip is a fundraiser for Zawadisha, and all proceeds go directly to their micro-lending program.

Even though sex may never be a completely comfortable topic for many folks to discuss, there are ways to make it easier to talk about. We explore with writer, traveler, and sexuality specialist Natasha Buffo when it comes to healthy communication, gender roles and expectations, and learning about our own bodies through outdoor recreation metaphors. And once again, we find that when the outdoors are involved, sex becomes a little easier to approach in a dialogue.Featured in this Episode:Natasha BuffoInstagram: @dirtandtearsWebsite: www.dirtandtears.comRead SISU Magazine, Issue 7: Lawful Bodies, for free when you click this link!

Seven years ago Coalition Snow would have needed an introduction to this podcast. Today however few haven't heard of this women lead company. For seven years they've fought for what they believe, rattled the cages of the snow world, and have made allies and enemies while blazing their own path.   In this episode, the CEO of Coalition Snow, Jen Gurecki shares her perspective on starting the company, becoming a thought leader, and giving a voice to underserved individuals in the snow sports world.   From the episode:   "It's been a process and an evolution of the brand, I think we got to a point where we realized that we were sort of transitioning from a product to a platform."   "People were showing up and wanted to be apart of what we were building, regardless if they were a skier or a snowboarder."   "If we started our company on a mission of inclusivity and diversity in snow sports, we really need to walk that talk."   "There's not a team of marketing professionals sitting around a table trying to come up with a campaign, or what should we say. Everything you see and read and hear is 100% real. Real talk, from us, it's how we feel."   "We don't live in a time where you can be agnostic to the massive social, environmental, and economical problems that we face. Your consumers demand more of you, the world needs you. Stop being afraid and get over yourselves."   Follow Coalition Snow: @coalitionsnow   Episode Sponsored By: Darby Communications https://www.darbycommunications.com/ @darbycomm   Produced by: Port Side Productions @backcountrymarketing @portsideproductions @coleheilborn

Entrepreneur Jen Gurecki is a mover, a shaker, a hustler, and above all else, a modern day feminist who lives a purpose-driven life where SHE makes the rules - not society - and she’s been marching to the beat of her own drum since birth. At 26 years old while doing her masters’ research work in Africa, Jen founded nonprofit Zawadisha which provides microloans, solar-powered equipment and education to rural Kenyan women to empower them to become financially self-sufficient. In 2014, she decided to start a women’s ski and snowboard company, Coalition Snow, to see how the male-dominated industry would react. Within just a few years, she turned down a $1M offer for the business from ski legend Bode Miller on the CNBC TV Show Adventure Capitalists. Then she created Sisu Magazine, and now she also co-hosts the Juicy Bits podcast. The common tie to all of her entrepreneurial endeavors? Jen’s challenging the patriarchy and fighting for gender equality through innovative businesses and content mediums - all while unapologetically pursuing a life full of freedom, adventure, and impact. @coalitionsnow | @zawadisha | @sisumagazine www.coalitionsnow.com | www.zawadisha.org | www.sisumagazine.com More at www.notimetowasteproject.com or follow @notimetowasteproject

Ade’ and welcome to the first episode of Xilegg: Our Arctic Presence. In this episode, originally recorded in late October of 2019, we visit with Unangax̂ scholar, activist, and performance artist Haliehana Stepetin. During our conversation we touch on the mapping of Indigenous spacialities that help us imagine and construct our understanding of the world as contemporary Indigenous peoples rooted in the constellations of our ancestors. Haliehana also speaks to her relationship with Iqyax (kayak) building. Haliehana Stepetin is Unangax̂ and was born and raised in the village of Akutan in Alaska's Aleutian Islands. She brings this upbringing into her re-search theorizing subsistence cosmologies as the central component connecting aspects of Unangax and Indigenous ways of knowing in the diverse topics of study she engages. Haliehana is a PhD student in Native American Studies at the University of California Davis. Haliehana is a scholar and activist, an Unangax̂ dancer, choreographer, Indigenous performance artist, Unangam Tunuu learner and Indigenous language activist, subsistence practitioner, and Navy veteran. Her scholarship engages Indigenous performance as embodied knowledge to (re)center Indigenous Knowledge systems in education and academia with, by, and for Indigenous and Alaska Native communities.

Josh sits down with Coalition Snow founder Jennifer Gurecki. Coalition Snow is a Ski and Snowboard brand making top quality planks and boards for women. This happens to be Gurecki's second time on the show and it's no question that Coalition Snow has been on a serious upswing since we've had her on the show. Coalition Snow's rise upward only gave her more momentum to create her recently launched Sisu Magazine AND a podcast of her own, Juicy Bits, where she captures and unravels women's experiences and captivating thoughts that are sparked on the trail and chairlift. We're PSYCHED to have her back on the show and to get a chance to catch up with Coalition Snow founder, Jennifer Guereck

If you're an entrepreneur, you'll definitely want to listen to the latest episode of Juicy Bits as we explore the risk taking inherent in starting your own business. This is something that we've embraced Coalition Snow, and it's been top of mind now that we're opening up a retail store in Truckee, CA. ⁠Find out why Creative Director Lauren Bello Okerman and CEO Jen Gurecki decided to open up the shop, how we manage to keep pushing, and what's in store at the Coalition Clubhouse. ⁠ Drop us a DM to share your feedback, and if you love what you hear, check out our Patreon campaign at patreon.com/juicybits.

This episode is the first of an entire season of Channel Mastery podcasts co-produced by our friends at the Snowsports Industries of America (SIA). Jen Gurecki joins me on this episode and after sharing the mic with her, I have to say, she just embodies the word entrepreneur. She is Co-founder and CEO of Coalition Snow, a women’s-specific ski hardgoods company, Editor-in-Chief of Sisu Magazine, and as of Oct. 14, 2019, a specialty brick-and-mortar retailer (Truckee, Calif.). Jen knows a thing or two about breaking the barriers and building channels where her followers expect her to with Coalition Snow. She’s a die-hard advocate for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and is seemingly unafraid to stand up for things many, many other brands are fearful to stand up for. We need more Jen Gurecki’s in our world, IMO. Jen’s background in the outdoor industry is unlike the traditional path many CEO’s in the snowsports communities have taken. When some were sales reps, she was founding a company in rural Kenya. How hard could it be, then, to start a women’s ski hardgoods brand? She set about to find out with Coalition Snow, a company that makes skis for women by women.  Her drive, desire to push boundaries and willingness to try new strategies in a male-dominated battlefield sets her and the Coalition Snow team apart from their competitors, but beyond that, they’re creating a sense of community and inclusiveness where it’s needed and using a creative and ever-evolving mix of brand and sales channels to connect with loyal fans and followers.  Jen’s episode underscores the importance of being nimble, and testing and learning - concepts that are tough for longstanding, established brands to emulate. There’s a ton to learn from Jen’s instinct and her challenges and successes. Check out the show and give it a share today!  Jen Gurecki is the CEO of Coalition Snow & Editor of Sisu Magazine.

Jen Gurecki is a serial outdoor entrepreneur who isn’t afraid to go against the norm when it comes to the businesses she’s started in the industry. With over 20 years of experience, Jen’s the CEO of Coalition Snow, editor-in-chief at Sisu Magazine, and founder of Zawadisha. She even used to co-own a river rafting company. From the outside, each company is quite different - hardwood skis and snowboards vs. editorial print vs. a micro lending venture, but each contains a common thread: an unwavering devotion to putting women in front.

Hey friends! Welcome back to the Balanced Pursuits Podcast! This week’s guest is Jen Gurecki, the co-founder & CEO of Coalition Snow, a women’s ski and snowboard company designed to deconstruct the status quo. We have a very raw and honest discussion with Jen about the state of the outdoor industry & how to use business as a tool for radical change.Jen is not shy about sharing her opinion on how we, as a society, can do better for marginalized communities. She’s committed her career to this work not only through Coalition Snow, but also through Zawadisha, a social enterprise whose mission is to provide small loans to rural Kenyan women, and Sisu Magazine, a quarterly print publication whose focus is to uncover the untold stories of the outdoors.Also, I’d like to make a special shoutout to our male listeners today. Kristi and I didn’t start this podcast with the intention of focusing exclusively on female empowerment, but it’s a theme that seems to turn up quite often. I suppose it’s because it’s the world in which we live and it’s close to our hearts. In our eyes, this is not just a conversation to have with women, but with all people. So guys, thank you for being a part of the conversation and being a part of the change.In this episode we explore:Turning a void in a market into opportunityHow business can be a tool for radical changeWhy not preparing can sometimes be a key to successWhen Jen first got the call to step into women’s advocacyThe difference between being “nice” and being “kind”How solar lamps elevated the lives of Kenyan womenTweetables:“I didn’t know that much, so I just did it.”“Being naive sometimes can be such a blessing because you do things that, if you knew everything, you wouldn’t do.”“Business can be a tool for radical change.”"I like to think about life as a series of choices and what’s behind the next door.”“I never think about the practical side of things, but I think that that’s served me relatively well so far, so I’m just going to keep going with it.”“Service is the rent you pay for life.”“We’re having conversations about things that there’s no definitive answer to. And how interesting is that? To question the concept of fact and to question the concept of knowledge.”“We have to be very careful and very discerning between what is a marketing message and what is true change.”Learn more about Jen’s endeavors:www.coalitionsnow.com & on Instawww.sisumagazine.com & on Instawww.zawadisha.org & on InstaFollow Jen Gurecki on Instagram

Women have achieved gender parity in a large number of professions. (Whether they have parity in leadership is a whole nother question, but let’s not even get into that today.) But there are still plenty of them, from tech, to science to the outdoors industry, where the boys are still in charge for the most part. Today’s show is part 1 of a two-part series about women breaking into professions that are still male-dominated, whether that’s by working within the system, or going outside the system to do their own thing. This week we hear from Felicity of the blog Fetching Financial Freedom, and Danielle Rees, co-founder of Coalition Snow, the world’s only women-owned ski and snowboard company making products by women, for women. These badass women have completely different stories about getting ahead in their fields. Next week, we’ll hear from two scientists across the pond, one in the UK and one in South Africa.

Josh sits down with Coalition Snow co-founder Jennifer Gurecki. Although women's skis and snowboards have been available for quite sometime, rarely has a brand ever taken such a large leap passed the shrink it and pink it approach to building women's skis and snowboards; until Coalition Snow was born. With the spark of a simple conversation during a backcountry ski trip Jen was given the idea to start a ski company to fill in a serious gap in the snow industry and, absolutely ran with it! Join us as Jen walks us through Coalition's humble beginnings to their beginings of rocking the boat of the ski and snowboard industry.

A discussion on the ways spending time outside impacts our mental health. We interview Florence Williams, author of "The Nature Fix" and Sonya Pevzner, who blogs about anxiety and depression as it relates to the outdoors. In addition, we hear from listeners about their experiences with depression and anxiety and the ways you've found healing through outdoor activities as simple as walks in nature and as challenging as canyoneering for the first time. At the end of the show, we also have a mini interview with Jen Gurecki, the founder of Coalition Snow, about her kickstarter.
