Arthur Honegger macht eine Zeitreise durch 40 Jahre Schweizer Snowboard-Kultur und trifft Pioniere, Punks und Popstars, die eine Revolution im Wintersport auslösten. Selbst passionierter Snowboarder geht der «10 vor 10»-Journalist der Frage nach: Lebt der rebellische Geist der frühen Jahre noch? «Wir wollten wild sein, uns auflehnen und dabei Party machen», sagt Olympiasieger Gian Simmen über seine Anfangsjahre. Er spricht damit einer ganzen Generation aus der Seele: Snowboarding eroberte den Schweizer Winter in den Achtzigern und Neunzigern, weil es mehr war als ein Sport. «Es ist das Gefühl der Freiheit», so Weltmeister Fabien Rohrer. «Was Rock'n'Roll für die Musik war, waren wir für den Wintersport», findet José Fernandes, der erste Schweizer Snowboard-Star. «Der Zugang zu den Skigebieten war Anfang der Achtzigerjahre verboten – ohne sehr viel Schoggi und Wein fürs Personal wären wir gar nie auf die Lifte gekommen.» Als erster Snowboard-Weltmeister aus Europa hat Fernandes den Sport in der Schweiz gross gemacht, auch an der Spitze des Welt-Verbands «International Snowboarding Federation», kurz ISF. Mitte der Neunziger fand dieser sich plötzlich in einem erbitterten Streit mit dem globalen Skiverband FIS wieder. «Das war für uns ein Krieg damals», beschreibt Snowboard-Legende Bertrand Denervaud die Auseinandersetzung: «Snowboarder gegen Skifahrer, die versuchen Snowboard-Rennen zu organisieren». Der Skiverband entschied den Kampf der Schnee-Kulturen für sich – wie ihm das gelang, zeichnet «DOK» nun erstmals nach. «Der Sport ist erst förmlich explodiert», erzählt Donna Carpenter, Präsidentin des Marktleaders Burton. «Doch dann haben wir eine ganze Generation verloren.» Was ist passiert? Und was treibt die besten Snowboarder heute an, in Halfpipes und Snowparks, aber auch mal in den verschneiten Strassen von Schweizer Städten auf dem Brett alles zu riskieren? Was macht die Magie des perfekten Fotos, des perfekten Videoclips aus? Die Antworten, die Arthur Honegger und Co-Autor Bruno Amstutz in diesem Film finden, sind ehrlich, teils überraschend – und immer wieder atemberaubend.

CEO of Burton, Donna Carpenter, is uncensored, unapologetically herself, and boy do we like it. For some reason, almost all of us snowboarders have something in common. Regardless of our upbringing, snowboarding has been there for us to turn to in rough times and in good. Many of us have found a family through snowboarding and no matter who you are, you have a space here. Since day one, Donna has been committed to not only creating but cultivating and supporting this culture we all know as home. We dive into the history of Burton, their biggest challenges, and everything you need to know about Donna Carpenter. So sit down and buckle up for the conversation of the century on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
Imagine, being in your 20s, fresh out of washing dishes at a local restaurant, borrowing just enough money to open a tiny, local deli with a friend who shared your passion for food, community, and business? Now, imagine that, decades later, that single decision would profoundly change the lives of not just thousands of regular customers, but millions of people, around the world? What my guest today, Ari Weinzwieg, didn't realize, when starting Zingerman's Deli with a $20,000 loan from the bank, and a degree in Russian History from the University of Michigan, was that he was seeding a revolution. Actually, in hindsight, maybe he did. Now 17 companies later and sitting as the CEO and co-founding partner of Zingerman's Community of Businesses, Ari sees commerce as an engine of impact, expression and service that changes people's lives. Ari and his ideas have set off a global ripple of compassion, dignity, imagination, and aliveness in the world of business, inviting people to reimagine a profoundly different, radically expansive and inclusive way of defining success. Named by Inc Magazine as one of "The World's 10 Top CEOs," he's forging a new way in business that rejects the norm and is grounded in purposeful vision, passion, and anarchy theory. He's written extensively about the values and beliefs that have kept the now iconic Zingerman's Delicatessen, his first business venture, afloat and successful for over 40 years in weekly newsletters and the numerous books he's authored, such as A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to the Power of Beliefs and A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Managing Ourselves. In our chat today, Ari shares some of the brilliant happenings inside his head, ranging from the ways we can use history to guide us in work, life, and business today, a reclamation of anarchy as a tool for impact and equality, Ari's natural laws of business and the importance of being in harmony with nature, the power of visioning, and the steps you can take to cast your own life and world-changing vision. This isn't just about business, it's about life.You can find Ari Weinzweig at: Website | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Donna Carpenter about how she and her husband, Jake, built Burton into not just a snowboard giant, but also a workplace that champions humanity.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.Solo Stove: Code GLP - $10 OFFClickUp: Code GOODLIFE - 15% OFF Unlimited Plan Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Donna’s Wild Idea: To be a positive leader, celebrate counterculture, and create more opportunities for people to enjoy the mountains. A few weeks ago at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Denver, I sat down with Donna Carpenter, the CEO and Co-Founder of Burton Snowboards. Donna is a true force of nature. She’s always pushing the envelope with her mission and products, and she radiates positivity and go-for-it, attitude. Donna really opened up in our conversation. She shared about how she became the CEO of one of the biggest snowboard companies ever, some funny stories like how she met her husband, Jake Burton, and what it was like in the early days of snowboarding. We also talked about how they’ve created such a strong culture, overcome adversity, and how they are not afraid to do things like send female staff to the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., and throw huge parties. It’s a great episode about lessons learned from failure and her keys to success. Listen to this episode if: You want to start and run your own business. You want to work at a company with an awesome culture. You love snowboarding. You want to listen to a great female leader.
