Episode Summary: In this powerful episode, the Tick Boot Camp hosts speak with Kim Strother—celebrity fitness trainer, holistic health coach, yoga instructor, and model for brands like Ford, Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Columbia Sportswear, Footlocker, and more. As one of LA's top trainers, Kim shares her transformative journey from undiagnosed Lyme disease to becoming an advocate for holistic health and chronic illness recovery. Her battle with Lyme began with mysterious symptoms from a young age, leading to a 22-year struggle before finally receiving her Lyme diagnosis. Today, she uses her expertise to inspire others with a multi-modal, bio-individual approach to wellness. Key Takeaways: 1. Growing Up in Tick-Endemic New Jersey and Early Symptoms Kim's childhood on a family Christmas tree farm in tick-endemic New Jersey involved frequent tick exposure but little awareness of tick-borne illness risks. She began experiencing fatigue, migraines, GI problems, and chronic infections as a child, but these symptoms were dismissed or misdiagnosed for over two decades, setting the stage for a lengthy, difficult journey before her eventual Lyme diagnosis. 2. Late Diagnosis and Complex Co-Infections By age 28, Kim's health had deteriorated significantly, with debilitating, multi-system symptoms. After years of seeking answers, she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease along with several co-infections and chronic conditions: Babesia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Bartonella, Candida overgrowth, mold and heavy metal toxicity, parasites, and SIBO. 3. Holistic Healing Journey Kim's recovery involved a multi-pronged approach that combined traditional and alternative treatments: Natural Supplements: Homeopathic herbs and Monolaurin (a natural antifungal) helped combat infections. Diet and Detox Therapies: A Paleo diet centered on greens and protein reduced inflammation, and therapies like glutathione IVs, infrared saunas, colonics, and ozone steam treatments supported detoxification. Innovative Devices: Kim used the FreMedica Wave frequency device, which provided symptom relief through frequency-based therapy. Electromagnetic Acupuncture Testing: This testing helped Kim track her health status and adjust her healing protocol. 4. Patience, Body Awareness, and Resilience Kim emphasizes the importance of tuning into your body, maintaining patience, and finding hope even during setbacks. She underscores that healing from chronic Lyme disease requires resilience and support from knowledgeable communities. 5. Professional Impact and Holistic Coaching Her journey through chronic illness has deeply influenced her approach as a trainer and coach. Kim now focuses on bio-individual health strategies, mindfulness, and sustainable practices, helping clients achieve wellness with a balanced and holistic perspective. Additional Highlights: High-Profile Career: Kim's career has included being a featured trainer on the Melissa Wood Health App and earning recognition as one of the most in-demand fitness models by racked. Advice from Kim Strother: On Lyme Healing: Stay hopeful, be patient, and celebrate small wins. Healing is a long journey, but each step forward is valuable.

During the recent Columbia Sportswear earnings call, CEO Tim Boyle offered a candid view of the current market and company dynamics. He indicated weak trends in the traditional outdoor category, particularly footwear, and highlighted that retailers are showing caution in placing future season orders. Reflecting these market challenges, Columbia Sportswear's recent business performance has experienced turbulence, evident in a dip in net sales due to lower spring 2024 orders.Despite these market challenges, Columbia Sportswear has strategically oriented its business towards a younger, more active consumer base, utilizing innovative product offerings as a primary driver of engagement. Their strategy of combining performance, style, and affordability has successfully resonated with their diverse customer base.Columbia Sportswear's ongoing relevancy can be attributed to the introduction of innovative products like the Omni-Shade and Omni-Freeze cooling technologies, and the PFG Uncharted collection. Alongside these product developments, the company has also made strategic marketing moves, creating alliances and partnerships to increase brand visibility and appeal.As indicated during the earnings call, the U.S. outdoor market, especially the footwear segment, is facing challenges, primarily attributed to rising inflation. Nevertheless, Boyle acknowledged that Columbia Sportswear has responded strategically to these challenges. For instance, the company has reported strong growth in Asian and European markets, powered by robust Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) performance and wholesale sell-through rates. China, in particular, has shown noteworthy performance in e-commerce, with high demand for Columbia's innovative products.With these insights, Columbia Sportswear is formulating a strategy aimed at fostering growth and profitability. This strategy includes a focus on developing innovative products, investing in demand creation to augment brand engagement, improving customer experiences through omnichannel strategies, enhancing digital market presence, and optimizing supply chain operations and inventory management.In summary, Columbia Sportswear is dealing with challenges in its major U.S. market. Still, their strategic response, leveraging market expansion, innovative product development, and brand engagement, indicates potential for maintaining stability and achieving sustainable growth. While the company's future remains contingent on navigating the present market complexities, these strategies serve to manage this challenging terrain. This perspective reflects the company's statements during the recent earnings call and the candid discussions with their investors. This is a public episode.

Columbia Sportswear Company, one of the top international brands in outdoor apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment, recently held an earnings call. The company's CEO, Tim Boyle, was candid about the challenges faced in the U.S. market, noting a decline in consumer demand and foot traffic over the past year. Despite these difficulties, a modest net sales increase of 1% was reported, which while not matching projected targets, has prompted a reevaluation of the company's strategies in order to fuel future growth. The company's altered focus now places emphasis on the improvement and innovation of its product line, with a key goal being the creation of collections that will capture the interest of modern consumers. To accomplish this, Columbia Sportswear is investing in the enhancement of its online consumer experience and its direct-to-consumer physical retail stores. Furthermore, the company is implementing strategic initiatives to strengthen the market presence of its key brands, such as SOREL, Mountain Hardwear, and prAna. Even with the issues stemming from declining U.S. consumer demand and foot traffic - largely brought on by warmer winters impacting the sales of cold weather categories - the company's e-commerce strategy seems to be a bright spot. Increased sales were reported during major shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Additionally, there are positive signs of sales growth in other markets, like China, Japan, and Europe. In response to the net sales decrease in the U.S., and to bolster operational efficiency, Columbia Sportswear is implementing a multi-year profit improvement plan. Anticipated to generate substantial annual savings of $125 million to $150 million by 2026, this strategy will encompass cost reductions and realignments across numerous areas, including operations, organizational structure, and non-inventory spending. Reflecting on the company's recent performance, Boyle acknowledged some disappointment but also expressed his own and the team's continued dedication to growth and profitability. In spite of recent growth obstacles, Columbia Sportswear's determination to address these challenges and secure future growth is unwavering. Through tactical improvements of its brand, enhanced consumer experience, trend forecasting, and rigorous cost-saving measures, the company exhibits signs of recovery. The path may be laden with potential challenges ahead, but Columbia Sportswear's proactive approach and ambitious plans suggest it is well-equipped to navigate its future in the sportswear market.

Dr. Arick Auyang is a graduate of the class of 2000 from UMS-Wright and the Director of Product Innovation for Columbia Sportswear. After graduating UMS-Wright, he graduated from Emory University and then earned a PhD in Applied Physiology from GeorgiaTech where he specialized in robotics, prosthetics and human rehabilitation. He spent the next 7 years in academics, teaching and doing research at GeorgiaTech, University of Maryland, and CU Boulder. He transitioned to Nike in 2013 where he joined the Nike Sports Research Lab focusing on basketball footwear research. He developed research protocols and worked with elite athletes to identify opportunities for the next generation of Nike Basketball footwear. He later transitioned to become Nike Basketball's head of Innovation Strategy and Integration for Nike Basketball. In this role, he worked with amazing product creation teams and athletes to create iconic products seen on courts around the world and helped chart the course for Nike Basketball's most successful new franchise, the G.T. Series. He recently transitioned to become the Product Innovation Director for Columbia Sportswear where he continues to combine his academic mindset, knowledge of product and innovation excellence with his love of the outdoors. Arick enjoys spending time in the outdoors and traveling with his wife, Katie, and two children, Coraline and Archer. One of the things that Arick values the most is ‘Perspective,' something that he incorporates into all aspects of his life and tries to instill on his children. Through education and travel and discussion, the ability to see the world from different perspectives without first introducing the bias of one's own perspective can bring new understanding, empathy, and enlightenment.

Louis is an entrepreneur, a business and investment coach, a board member and an advisor to many start-up companies. The Creative Capital China team has worked with European companies in China and helped launch little-known brands into major Western markets. By establishing pre-eminent international brand awareness and strong brand relationships, Creative Capital is one of the only firms in China focusing on widening awareness of Chinese companies beyond their home market. In this clip from episode 2, I ask Louis if he would agree or disagree, and why, with the statement that Chinese brands have met some headwinds in their attempts to be successful in Western markets, and here's what he had to say.#2 - Jacob Cooke, E155, November 9th 2022On November 9th we brought back Jacob Cooke for our 155th episode. Jake is the Co-Founder & CEO of WPIC Marketing + Technologies, a leading e-commerce and technology consultancy that drives growth for global brands in China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

He's a member of the MIT Sloan School of Management and holds an Advanced Certificate in Engineering from MIT's Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Although we brought him in to discuss the impending Singles Day shopping bonanza at the time, I was really intrigued to discuss what Douyin is doing in the market lately so that's the clip I've chosen and here's what he had to say.#3 - Karen Raghavan, E129, February 8th 2022On February 8th of 2022, we released episode 129 with Karen Raghavan, a Brand and Business Development Consultant and Growth Advisor to both heritage beauty brands and startups. She is also the Vice President of Brand Development at the natural ingredient company Purissima. Karen is a member of Chief, a private network built to drive more women into positions of power and keep them there.

Jeff's background includes over three decades of experience at leading global companies in the Asia-Pacific, specifically in investment banking, real estate, retail operations, merchandising, marketing, and general management. He also spent 6 years at Disney as VP of Consumer Products, which is why I just had to ask him, given the massive catalogue of IP and products, how difficult it was to manage the trademark and brand IP, or was that a naive question and it didn't require managing at all?#5 - Akio Tanaka, E148 & E149, September 21st and 28th 2022On September 21st and 28th, we released episodes 148 and 149 with Akio Tanaka, Co-Founder and Partner at Headline VC.

With that in mind, we asked him for his opinion of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Japan, and to compare it to those of its neighbouring countries. #6 - Bill Tung, E137 & E138, June 22/29 2022Our last clip celebrating an amazing 2022 for the podcast, comes from episode 137 released on June 22nd, featuring Bill Tung, Managing Partner at Peaks Consulting, a global brand, retail, and management consultancy.

True leaders are lifelong learners. Those in leadership positions must have an inherent love for learning new things and be humble enough to understand they don't know what they don't know. This thought is one of the many valuable lessons our guest, Shawna Schuh, learned throughout a life of working with and forming leaders from virtually every industry. Raised in a modest home, Shawna was sent to finishing school, where she ended up teaching for over 20 years. Shawna would teach young girls and help them achieve their dreams of becoming models, but after many years of guiding hundreds of teen girls on how to put themselves together, she discovered her true passion: forming leaders. Shawna Schuh is a lifetime adventurer, entertainer, and leadership expert. She holds a Master's Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and worked with Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Fashion Group International, and the National Speakers Association. Shawna also has two TEDx talks to her credit and a passion for helping leaders lead their teams effectively.In this episode, we dive deep into Shawna's unique and infectious view on leadership. We talk about her upbringing, the influence finishing school had on her life, her thoughts on what makes a good leader, and why she believes leaders should become masterful questioners.
