Josh Sprague is as much an addict to endurance sports as the rest of us, and you know as well as anyone when a piece of equipment just isn't quite right. With weekends filled with adventure races, ultra marathons and long mountain bike rides, Josh just couldn't find the right hydration pack, so he built one. He liked it so much, he and his wife made the decision to dive in and founded Orange Mud and started producing what they believe to be the best, most comfortable hydrations packs on the market! Twelve years later they continue to create and produce a variety of hydration packs as well as a growing line of products for endurance athletes.

148: Josh Sprague: Founder & CEO of Orange Mud talks about the struggle of trying to live a balanced life outside of the usual 9-to-5 workflow, while being a husband and father that is simultaneously running a company.  Josh Sprague  Like most every brilliant business idea, there is an initial spark, a pain point that needs to be soothed. For Josh Sprague, it wasn’t just the typical focus on making money. He explains that it was the value that he placed on his time and his wife’s time. “We started Orange Mud about 8 years ago. It was actually on an adversity note. It was after we had our first boy, and he was 3 months old at the time. I had just finished an Ironman, and I basically wanted a way that, forgetting Orange Mud or anything else, I wanted a way that my wife or I both didn’t have to work mad hours. She was a corporate lawyer and I was a vice president of a medical device company.”    On this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, we talk with Josh Sprague, Founder and CEO of Orange Mud who gets into the nuts and bolts of his business. “Life is a special thing and you don’t want to screw it up by just never being around. It really kind of forced me to kick off an idea that I had set back in my head for a really long time which was a bottle-based hydration pack that would allow me to carry my fluids, my cash for the Beer Garden after a race, some electrolyte gels and maybe other back-up nutrition, and my car keys so when I train or race I had just the bare essentials.”   What You Will Learn:   How long has Orange Mud been a reality for Josh Sprague? “I thought that would be a cool little product to at least have as a side hobby. I thought at least it would keep my wife busy or myself busy. Who ever quit their day job? Then 8 years  later as of January 2012, is when we started, as of January of this year we have been in business 8 years and man, we’ve got over 100 SKUs on the market, and we have two kids now, and no more for sure. It has been a wild ride, designing packs for runners and cyclists all around the world.”   Orange Mud clearly has the mind of an active athlete begin it. What do Josh Sprague’s own athletic interests consist of? “My background was adventure racing, it was kind of the core of what one of my favorite sports is. I love to trail run. I love to mountain bike. But, adventure racing combines them both, plus navigation and rope work and all kinds of fun stuff.    Why did Josh Sprague decide to design the hydration packs for Orange Mud to be worn over the shoulders as opposed to around the waist? “The really cool part of all of that as a designer, even when I wasn’t a designer, is that I stared at my teammates' backs. You’re racing with a team, always, in adventure racing. You are only as fast as your weakest link, and that is just the way it is in adventure racing. I spent just tons of time behind my teammates running because I was usually one of the weaker runners, and paying attention to how the pack moved and where it moved. Something that I consistently noticed is that your upper torso just doesn’t move very much. It is basically just a slight up and down movement, and I always hated waist packs, like despised waist packs.”   Josh Sprague digs into the practical and health benefits of not utilizing a waist pack. “I cut a waist pack with water bottle holders apart. I took a ratchet strap from the back of my truck and I took a hotel sewing kit from one of my travels, and I sewed together this crude little concoction that was in my form that I wanted and mounted the bottle high up on my back. I believe that fluid should be stored on your back because that is where we carry weight. It doesn’t make sense to carry weight on your chest. It is pulling your neck down. It is pulling your spine down.”   If you are wondering how much money it cost Jeff to get started with Orange Mud, he has the answer. “It took $54,000, if I remember right, that first year, of investment between just trademarks and patents and design and all that stuff. But, we got our product launched. It took 10 months. We launched our first pack in October of 2012. In the end of 2012 at the Somo Half Ironman, and man, it just spiraled from there in the triathlon trail-running world.”   Going Full-time with Orange Mud   Josh worked his day job for the first three years of launching Orange Mud and his wife worked the first year and a half of the company being started. What was the conversion like for Jeff when he doubled down on Orange Mud and made it his full-time effort? “When I quit, I budgeted $100,000, and I had it just sitting. I’m like, you know what, we burn through this, there is a Plan B. Not sure what the Plan B was going to be. I would probably be going back to work. I wasn’t going to burn more than that. But, I knew if I could actually work 100 hours a week on Orange Mud as opposed to 80 at one company and 60 and nights and never sleep, I thought, surely I can actually make this more profitable.”   Market Growth    During this episode of Finding Your Summit Podcast, Josh Sprague also talks about the ways in which Orange Mud has grown exponentially.  “We are distributed in about 40 countries now. I haven’t done the latest count. But, somewhere in that range. Mostly internationally it’s all packs, which is awesome, and then in the U.S. it’s mostly towels and packs of course, and the whole product line. So, the Running World article was a turning point for us, and again, managing that cash flow and staying on it like a hawk. It’s not that we don’t gambles. But, we are cautious as we grow.” Links to Additional Resources: Mark Pattison: markpattisonnfl.com Emilia’s Everest for the Epilepsy Foundation: markpattisonnfl.com/philanthropy-wb/ Orange Mud Website: orangemud.com  Contact Orange Mud: sales@orangemud.com Orange Mud’s Social Media: YouTube Instagram Twitter Facebook

8 years ago, when dear friend Nate Elsen introduced me to Josh Sprague, I had no way of knowing the impact he'd have on my journey. I know Josh would genuinely and humbly deflect being called an inspiration - but defining the word as 'the act of influencing opinons' definitely applies here. Many examples exist for me as an entrepreneur, but they mostly are two dimensional - in books, magazines, the interwebs. When Orange Mud was in Colorado, and I saw first hand the growth, challenges, work and perseverance Josh, his family and his team put in. That provided inspiration, and continually influenced my opinion of myself and the Warmfront as a company, believing that I could do this too. Not only to grow and succeed, but to do it the right way - learning and doing with enthusiasm. When Josh and I booked this podcast, it was on the trail. I was riding, he was hiking with his kids. I've borrowed so many ideas from Josh and Orange Mud, but the one that I never forget is the WHY and HOW to run a company. No matter how busy he is with training or working, he always took my call, or returned an email within minutes. He taught me how to do product photography, and so many other skills that helped The Warmfront take a step forward.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Joshua Sprague takes us through his experiences with God over the past year and where he is leading his family in the future.

Hydration is one of the limiters for many runners. It seems like often-missed, low hanging fruit that has the potential to boost performance in long events like marathons and ultra-marathons.  I know as runners we all want to focus on working harder, suffering more and trying to come up with some new technique or training plan that's going to get us faster and stronger. But in many cases when we are already training at a high-level there are very few gains to be made by working harder. Some of the biggest gains actually come from small changes in other areas, like improving nutrition, improving the quality of our sleep or by maintaining a state of optimal hydration.  Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we are talking about staying hydrated during your long runs with Josh Sprague, endurance athlete, and founder of Orange Mud.

Josh Sprague grew up with the crazy adventure that an outdoorsy life in a small town brings. His passion for design and "taking what sucks about a product and making it better" combined with his passion for endurance sports to create Orange Mud. From humble beginnings and hand-stitched prototypes in 2012, Orange Mud has become known worldwide as the purveyor of premium hydration products for serious endurance athletes. They've branched off into other products as well, such as their transition wrap which provides convenience, privacy and may save you an indecent exposure charge on your record Through the craziness of working in medical device sales, founding Orange Mud, and having young kids at home, Josh has continued to train for crazy events (100 and 200 mile gravel bike rides and 100 mile trail runs are all on the docket for this year).

Hands up if you love networking! No? Don't worry, even if you're good at it there's a fair chance you don't love it. Which could explain why many of us don't do it! Despite knowing that networking is a powerful way to get more business, find subcontractors or builders to work with and to raise the profile of our trade business, many of us still avoid it. There's always the online versions of course, like LinkedIn, but are our desired contacts really on there and is the platform really suited to trades? Fortunately, Josh Sprague and his team at Good Work have put together a digital networking and job finding platform JUST FOR TRADIES! It's growing rapidly and is really changing the way tradies are networking, finding jobs, finding subbies and raising their profile. Best part? It's free! Find out more about how this came about, what it could do for your business and how to get involved by pressing "play"

Nike was founded by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, both keen runners (and waffle fans), Trek was founded by Richard Burke a keen cyclist and GoPro was founded by Nick Woodman so he could take rad movies while he was surfing.My guest today is Josh Sprague, a competitive endurance athlete, who is the founder of Orange Mud, a manufacturer of some very unique running, biking and lifestyle brands.From a garage built prototype through to global distribution using his web site orangemud.com and countless retailers the company now has hundreds of happy customers. Sounds like a dream come true, but I suspect this journey has been like an endurance race for Josh, his family and his team, as many ups as there are downs, with nothing but guts, grit and determination to get him there.

What happens when an endurance junkie sees a problem? A new company is formed, at least that is how Orange Mud came about. Today on episode 96 of the Final Surge podcast we talk to Josh Sprague about his endurance career and how that lead him to redesign water packs with his company Orange Mud.   We want to spend some time talking about your company Orange Mud, but before we get into that can you tell us how you first got your start in endurance athletics? Adventure racing Noticed ways to make hydration easier Adventure racing, you don't hear about that as much any more, do you think it is because of the rise in obstacle races? Cost, organization The barrier to entry was higher with adventure Ultra racing is easier to organize Was expensive What's the most interesting adventure race you ever did? Calico Yosemite Race  What endurance athletics are you focusing on these days? Ultra-running Endurance mountain bike races Gravel biking Leadville  You have done a lot of different endurance events, where did this love for endurance sports come from? Country boy in Kansas Everyone was a long distance call so always was playing outside Learned to explore  You own a successful start-up company, you have a family, how do you find a time to get it all done, do you have any time management secrets or tips? I told my wife I would only do my main training during the workday  I avoid training on the weekends unless riding with kids Let’s talk about Orange Mud. You are probably known best for your hydration packs obviously, but also wraps, clothing and even awesome looking vintage trucker caps on your website. How did you get your start? Backpacks were one side Clothing was me wanting better clothing Trucker caps were really successful We focused on quality  What is with the name Orange Mud? My middle name is Clay and always liked it Played with a bunch of Clay names and purchased a lot of domains Clay is a mud and that name just worked better What was your first product? Hydtraquiver bottle carrier Can you walk us through how that came about? I noticed upper back didn't move when ran, so focused on that area I wanted a place for a bottle and cash, keys and phone A place for nutrition quick access area How many variations before you came up with one before you thought it was ready? The first product was 18 Most of the early products were 17-23 variations before I was happy with it At what point did you realize this was a great product and you thought you could bring it to the masses? Started in spring 2012, fall of 2012 we went to market with a functional and durable product 10 months in we launched with an Indiegogo campaign What makes the Orange Mud different than other packs? We put the bottle on the center of the back  We use a regular bottle so you can use almost any bottle you want Our packs are smaller and more stable than others How hard was it to break into retail, it is a tough business dominated by big brands? Big brands have the name, we focus on specialty stores, not big-box locations Specialty stores often carry the same as big-box locations We make it in the USA What is next, what new products do you have coming out Working on a new handheld  High-performance rain jacket/pants Final Surge 5 questions in under a minute Favorite endurance/running book? - Endurance - Shackelton Current trainers you are wearing? - On Running Favorite race? - The Hawk in Kansas Favorite recovery meal or recovery drink? - Infinite Nutrition Repair Fruit Punch Your favorite workout - Anything on a mountain bike Resources Orange Mud on Instagram Orange Mud on Twitter Orange Mud Website

Sometimes the best things happen by accident. Sometimes an idea develops into something you weren't expecting. That's what happened with this podcast episode. It's also what happened with Orange Mud and their hydration products. In chatting with Josh Sprague (Founder & CEO of Orange Mud) I learned all about his adventures, hydration on the trail, and the culture of care that's developed at Orange Mud. I love when I hear things like this. I have a habit of setting myself up for success with interviews and product reviews. What I mean by that is, I usually only ever seek out or respond to opportunities that I have a feeling I'm going to like or that will go well. I suppose that's more or less how many people tend to operate, huh? Usually, it works out the way I figure it will. Every once in a while I'm proven wrong. Sometimes, though, it goes even better than I expected. Sometimes I learn things about a person, product, or company that make me fall in love. That's what happened with NOW Foods, and it seems to be happening with Orange Mud. I have to say, after our chat, I'm all about Orange Mud. I love their gear (I'm testing out the Endurance Pack 2.0), I love their culture, and I love what they stand for. If you're looking for a new hydration pack, you should check them out. And you should DEFINITELY give a listen to episode 97 of the So THIS Is Fitness podcast so you can hear our whole chat. You'll probably dig it just as much as I did. Oh, and we're giving away his best-selling product! (check out the rafflecopter widget at the bottom of the post linked below). For the full blog post and show notes visit the blog here.

This Dirt Life Episode #32 with Josh Sprague: The Orange Mud is a hydration pack company founded by today's guest Josh Sprague. Josh is an entrepreneur, ultra distance athlete, husband father and all around badass. Originally from Kansas but now of Colorado, Josh is not afraid of pushing the boundaries of the sports performance equipment and never seems to shy away from a physical challenge! He recently completed the Dirty Kanza 200 for the second year running! It’s always great to catch up with Josh so a massive thank you for joining us on the podcast

This is The Do It For Yourself Podcast.  Each week I sit down with someone who is doing it for themselves and chasing a dream they just couldn’t suppress.  This is often speakers, entrepreneurs, or athletes.  They all share one thing in common, they are overcoming challenges and never giving up.  Someone who is Doing It For Themselves is not selfish in their pursuit, they are simply chasing a dream or working towards a goal because it is something THEY want to do.  They are not forging down a path because society or someone is telling them it’s what they should be doing.   This week my guest is Josh Sprague, the owner of Orange Mud.  Orange Mud is a hydration pack that actually sits between your shoulder blades as opposed to the more tradition belt style packs.  Josh came up with this idea after many frustrating long runs while training for Ironman distance races.  He simply could not find a belt that he liked or worked for him.  So Josh took to his garage one night and used some of the resources he had to make his first prototype.  From there he was off and running, literally and figuratively.     Josh jumped into this with both feet and began dedicating all of his free time to making this pack perfect.  From sourcing to materials, to production, it was all at night or on the weekends as he was still working a full-time job in medical device sales.  Josh was beginning to realize that this was something more than just a hobby, he knew he was really on to something here, but he was nervous about leaving the steady income to go after this dream.  Luckily for Josh, he managed his finances well and set himself up to jump into Orange Mud full time.     Join us on this episode as we learn where Josh found his passion for endurance and adventure and how he took that first "rough" prototype into the production of a product that is not shipped all over.   Orange Mud Website Orange Mud Instagram Josh Instagram   Do It For Yourself Instagram

Bryan continues his recovery by tackling some hills and starting to plan some races. Then, an interview with cyclist, runner, and Orange Mud CEO Josh Sprague. Josh talks about his crazy adventure races, including a run through the desert on a horse with no name. (Actually, it was named "Macaroni.") He shares how he trained for adventure races in the past and now trains for ultra running and other endurance races. He also describes how his experiences on the trail led him to design his own water pack and build it into a business. Plus, the advantages of ultra races over marathons, how he straps on the feedbag during a race (and where he has gone wrong), and advice for first-time ultra runners. Be sure to check out Josh’s products at www.orangemud.com Help HWYRT reach our full print order!

Welcome to another episode of the Orange Mud Adventure Channel Podcast. Today your hosts are myself, Josh Sprague and Paul Jesse from Orange Mud. We’re excited to talk today with Adam Zucco. Adam has been coaching triathletes for over 15 years and, along with his partner Joe Friel, founded Training Bible Coaching. Adam has coached countless athletes to PRs, Kona Qualification as well as US Olympians. Today we’re going to dig in to the topic of training with a Power meter. A power meter is a device that basically measures the power output of a rider. Most use strain gauges to measure torque applied and combined with angular velocity calculate power. Adam is an expert in this arena, Paul and I, well, not so much, so we’re really excited to dig into how it can be used to improve your training and racing on the bike as well as the in-roads currently being made in running with power measuring devices. Adam is such a stud that 8 of his athletes have qualified for the Ironman World Championships in Kona this year!  Links http://www.adamzucco.com/ http://www.trainingbible.com/ https://www.facebook.com/trainingbible/ https://twitter.com/TrainingBible https://www.instagram.com/tbctri

Welcome to another episode on the Orange Mud Endurance Channel! Paul Jesse, Sales Manager at Orange Mud, and myself, Josh Sprague, Founder and CEO of Orange Mud, will be here your host today. We’re super excited to have founders, Ken Chlouber and Merilee Maupin of the Leadville Race Series.  For those that don’t know, the Leadville Race Series consists of a 100 mile endurance run, 100 mile endurance ride, 10k trail run, heavy half marathon, trail marathon, 50 mile trail run, and a 50 mile bike. The Leadville Trail 100 Run is what started it all, and is an ultramarathon held annually that traverses the trails and dirt roads near Leadville, Colorado. Founded in 1983, runners this ultra climb and descend almost 16k feet in elevations ranging from 9,200 to 12,620 feet. Generally the completion rate is less than 50% within the 30 hour time limit. Needless to say, it’s a tough event. Social Links Leadville Race Series  Leadville Trail 100 Legacy Foundations

The boys welcome back Josh Sprague from Orange Mud to geek out with them. Stephen briefly goes over a half marathon he ran with a head cold. Stephen and Andy have purchased cheap direct from China running shoes to test. Josh, Stephen, and Andy make predictions on how this will turn out.
