Join me as we navigate the vibrant atmosphere of Canoecopia, the world's largest paddle sports expo. Billed as the world's largest paddlesports expo, Canoecopia features more than 100,000 square feet of canoes, kayaks, kit, outfitters, everything you can imagine, plus more than 100 speakers on an incredible array of topics and I am honored to be one of those speakers. Thanks to Chris Hipgrave and the entire P&H Pyranha kayaks team for making space in their booth to record this episode, and of course for producing my favorite boats.  We've got a great lineup of guests for today's episode.  We'll hear from: Graham Mackereth, founder of Pyranha kayaks and owner of Pyranha and P&H Erika Rivers, Wilderness Inquiry, a non-profit dedicated to getting those of all ages and abilities into the wilderness Vincent Robichaud, founder of Trailtopia, shares how cooking meals for friends turned into cooking more meals for lots more friends Long time friend, Lenore Sobota, tells us about the return of one of the Great Lakes most revered events, Ladies of the Lakes Stig Larsson shares what's happening with the Paddlesports Trades Coalition and a new initiative to get more people on the water and, Darren Bush, the Chief Paddling Evangelist with Rutabaga Paddleports joins us to share his excitement for a great new event that I am personally excited about, Camp Rutabaga. The thumbnail image for today's episode is Darren Bush's annual tradition of gathering  with the crowd as the doors open and taking a selfie.  Canoecopia is so much more than a trade show. It's the friendships. It's a paddling family reunion of sorts. As we emerge from a long winter it's nice to get together with friends and talk about past and future adventures together.  It's things like this that remind you what a great community of paddlers we have around us.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part podcast. Listen to Part 1 HERE. Sara Newman Sara Newman currently serves as a member of her ward's Relief Society service committee in whatever capacity is needed. She earned her bachelor's degree in Family Science from Brigham Young University and enjoyed raising five children with her husband. She anticipates “retiring” soon, once her youngest is launched, and is enjoying her new role as a grandmother. She has lived in four states, served as Relief Society president in three different wards, and as Relief Society counselor, pianist, chorister, Cub Scout leader, Primary teacher and counselor, Relief Society teacher, and Gospel Doctrine teacher. Highlights 0:15 Sara speaks on being released from as Relief Society president earlier than she expected. 3:30 “I cried when I got the calling; I cried when I got released. I was surprised by it.” 5:30 Something for leaders to think about is giving leaders more time to transition when a release is coming. It can be very jarring to have a calling and the next day nothing. 6:50 There was no excitement or relief getting released. Just devastation. Sara shares the reasons why she felt so hurt when released. 9:30 Part of the devastation was loneliness and loss of the community she was a part of. Also, not feeling like she was doing a good enough job. 12:30 Looking back Sara can say the time was right to get released because of health challenges that happened. She can see the Lord's timing but at the moment it was very hard. 13:30 The first weeks after getting released were the hardest. 16:50 The bishopric and other ward council members had a small gathering to thank Sara for her service. It helped her have some closure. 19:20 Sara's encouragement to other leaders that are also going through a transition after getting released Darren Bush Darren Bush is a husband, father, and paddler who advocates outdoor activities to feel the Spirit. Darren served a mission to southern Italy, met his wife, Stephanie, at Brigham Young University, and completed degrees in Italian and Psychology at University of Wisconsin–Madison after discovering it was the best place in the world. After completing a master's degree at the University of Rochester the family moved back to Wisconsin where he eventually bought Rutabaga Paddlesports. He has previously served as a bishop, Primary teacher and nursery leader, elders quorum and Young Men president, ward missionary, high councilor, in a young single adult bishopric, and as an executive secretary and financial clerk. Highlights 20:11 Darren Bush, recently-released bishop 22:30 The relationships that were built over the past five years as bishop were gone. 24:00 The day Darren got released made him feel lighter. He didn't realize how much weight he was holding. However, it was still hard. Missing the people and seeing people's faces. 26:30 The lost puppy phase after getting released 30:00 Advice Darren was given from his uncle, a former bishop. “Don't go inactive.” 33:00 We need to separate our personal identity from our calling in the ward. 35:15 Combating loneliness after being bishop 40:45 Darren's encouragement to the former leader that is fighting loneliness Julie Kiser Julie Kiser is a graduate of Brigham Young University and currently works part-time as a professional organizer and as a part-time administrative assistant to her husband and his financial advising firm. She currently serves as a special needs mutual advisor and a Gospel Doctrine teacher.

One place to do just that is Canoecopia in Madison, Wisconsin. Darren Bush, owner of Rutabaga Paddlesports in Madison, and organizer of canoeing expo Canoecopia, joins the podcast in this episode to talk about the return of an in-person event for 2022.

He doesn't feel like the typical bishop. 5:55 Darren's ward dynamic having both an English and Spanish ward combined. 15:15 Principle One - Ignore everything administrative and delegate to counselors The bishop's main focus should be spirituality not administration. The principles of leadership are the same in business and in the church. Everyone has their different roles. Everything is under the direction of the bishop but that doesn't mean he has to be involved in everything. 18:45 "What do you think?" is the best question that a bishop can ask. 21:15 Stories of being a bishop and loving others.

Make sure they know that they are noticed. 31:15 Principle Three - Teach the doctrine of the Atonement as central to the gospel We are all broken together The atonement is Plan A and there is no Plan B. 32:30 Pornography is never the root cause of the problem but a symptom of the problem. Help the individual understand the root cause of their pornography addiction. 34:45 Learn how to pray or you won't be able to use the Atonement effectively in your life. How personal are your prayers? How do you talk to God? Trying to hide from God is not using the atonement. 41:20 Principle Four - love everyone, no exceptions 45:50 Loving people is seeing them 47:00 The handbook is great but it's general. It's there to guide you but it's not a book of commandments. Do what's best for your members.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Sutton Bacon and Darren Bush, the founders of Paddlesports Retailer and now, the Big Gear Show. This episode is co-produced by Verde Brand Communications, the leading source of multi-channel specialty brand communications, and SNEWS, the source for outdoor active lifestyle industry news.  This show is positioned for “Main Street, not Wall Street,” and invites hardgoods manufacturers (no apparel), from outdoor, bike and paddlesports for the first time ever. It makes sense, all of these categories of outdoor active lifestyle do share a shopper. But the Big Gear Show is disruptive and is - not surprisingly - inspiring a lot of direct conversation in the outdoor active lifestyle communities.  In this episode, you’ll get to hear straight from the founders why they believe so much in this audacious launch, why they’ve brought together outdoor and bike, why they’ve hired on two past trade show directors in bike and outdoor to lead the charge, and their take on the opportunity for specialty hardgoods manufacturers to endear today’s connected shopper. We also get into why Sutton and Darren believe that adding another trade show to an already-clogged calendar of regional shows, the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance shows, Eurobike, and the Outdoor Retailer show makes complete sense. The Big Gear Show is slated to launch this July in Salt Lake City and offers a chance for retailers, inventors, dreamers, big and small to connect with the north star, the shopper.  We invite you to listen to this episode with an open mind, and also, to please share it to build the conversation online. You can weigh in at the LinkedIn pages of SNEWS and Kristin Carpenter, the host of the Channel Mastery podcast and the founder/CEO of Verde Brand Communications.  Sutton Bacon is the former leader of the Natahala Outdoor Center, and the co-founder of Paddlesports Retailer with Darren Bush, who is the creator of the successful paddling-specific consumer event, Canoecopia, and the owner of specialty paddlesports retailer, Rutabaga.

My friend Darren Bush, a Bishop in Madison Wisconsin, talks about making his ward safe for everyone, helping his ward members focus on Christ, creating an atmosphere that's safe and unconditional loving, so when Ward members need spiritual guidance, they'll feel comfortable knowing he will "judge without being judgmental." Thanks for being on the podcast my friend Darren and all you are doing to help people truly understand the Atonement and come unto Christ through our restored Church.

To wrap up this episode, Matthew Baxley from the podcast team talks with Darren Bush about the 2020 Canoecopia extravaganza. Darren is a key player and organizer of the annual paddling and gear expo. In this episode he talks about what to expect in 2020 and some of his favorite paddling memories from the Boundary Waters.

In this episode, Lawprofblawg, an anonymous social media personality and law professor, discusses the article "Law Reviews, Citation Counts, and Twitter (Oh My!): Behind the Curtains of the Law Professor’s Search for Meaning," which was co-authored with Darren Bush and published in the Loyola University Chicago Law Journal. LPB begins by describing the symposium on legal scholarship in the age of social media for which this article was written. LPB continues by observing how the hierarchies of legal academy perpetuate privilege across a range of spectrums, including race, gender, and class. And LPB reflects on how we might be able to mitigate some of those hierarchies and promote a fairer and more egalitarian scholarly community.

Darren is  an inspiration on so many levels. I enjoyed our conversation that wandered all over the map from his academic chops to his purchase of Rutabaga and other side trails along the way. My apologies for some of the sound issues but you won't miss anything, enjoy.

I actually didn't paddle till I moved to Wisconsin just because the closest lake to me was the artificial lake in the development next to us. I mean, there really wasn't any flat water. I came here and got roped into a boy scout trip to the boundary waters at that kind of started it. Things we talked about Rutabaga Paddle Sports Stony Point The Los Padres National Forest REI Patagonia Camping World OIA Rendezvous Heroes on the Water Door County Land Trust Advice, tips I'm a big fan of Mike Rowe, right? cause he's an ops guy. The idea of following your bliss and you know all that. Then you know, if you do what you love, the money will come and it's just not true. It's just not true. It does happen. Um, and people have followed their dreams and they do succeed, but for every person who says I want to be an actor, there's 500 layers, right? Right. So you have to be a realist about it. So often the idea of owning an outdoor store or owning your own business or whatever, the idea of it is way better than the actual thing itself for a lot of people. I mean, it's true for a lot of things, like the idea of owning a sports car is a really good idea until you have a sports car and you realize that it owns you don't own it. So rent, rent a porsche once day every six months or two years or whatever and get your porsche fix. As far as growing your career, I don't like the word career because that has the connotation of a trajectory where you go in as a customer service person and then you get promoted to head of customer service, then you might move into the sales and then sales manager and then you just kind of climbed corporate ladder. But I think that analogy is always felt kind of false to me. You know the english is interesting. We have a bunch of words for work, right? We have work and we have labor, and vocation and all these things. Labor is labor, effort goes into labor and something coms out of it. If you're in the trades your labor goes in and you get a building out of it. You have something to show at the end of the day. So your vocation is something that you feel called to do. My, my wife's vocation was to teach math and specifically to teach math to middle school girls because that's when they decide they can be smart or stupid. If she can get them through math in middle school, they'll take it up in high school and that'll give them career path that will be unavailable to them if they decided, oh I'm stupid, I'm a girl, I can't do that. Just what society tells them. Right. So she taught thousands of girls algebra and you know, if 10 percent of those people say, hey, I'm good at this, then we have 10 percent more opportunities for women to be scientists. So that is, that is her calling. My calling is to get people outside. Right now I'm using paddling as that mechanism. So when people say what do you do for living? I tell them I create communities to get people outside. That's my job, right? My job description is a paddling evangelist because that's what I do. I spread it, spread the gospel of paddling the good word and get people outside. That's my vocation. So I guess my advice is if you don't have a vocation, keep doing what you're doing until you find one. Don't quit your job and go off and climb a mountain to ask a guru you should do with your life. In my case, it started off as a side hustle when I was a scientist. So just keep looking for your vocation and what calls to you and you never know what it's going to be. I certainly didn't.

Outdoor specialty retailers are very unique among retail operations because they do so much more than sell products. They offer education and community events, they support recreational programs at local schools and parks, they often interface with local government on issues related to outdoor recreation, and they are general hubs of engagement for outdoorists in a town/city. Community engagement is a huge part of developing a strong reputation and loyal customer base. This episode focuses on best practices for: Creating unique and impactful community events/programs Partnering with brands/suppliers on in-store or local promotions and events Local advocacy—how retail shops can lead efforts to promote recreation and conversation. Why is it important for shops to be the voice of these efforts in a community?
