Send us a textA brand doesn't become real the day the website goes live—it becomes real the day someone beats it up on a mountain and still reaches for it the next morning. That's the heart of our conversation with Dust founder Zach Colby, who walked away from politics to build a running brand rooted in the Mountain West: trails, dirt, big days, and gear that doesn't need babysitting.We trace the idea back to Boulder, where Zach saw a clear gap. The urban-run-club look had its champions, but the West's mix of gravel, alpine, and singletrack culture felt underserved. Dust answers with simple, durable pieces that carry a Western soul—led by the mechanic shirt, a breathable button-down designed to race, ride, and recover. Zach breaks down the less glamorous side too: hunting for the right factory, negotiating MOQs, iterating fabric weights across time zones, and learning that a great sample is earned, not ordered.From there, we get into launch mechanics and marketing without the fluff. Boxes stacked in an apartment, a Shopify backend, word-of-mouth over ads, and photography that actually reflects how people move outside. We talk about the Dust Bus—a retired sheriff's van now turned rolling pop-up—and why in-person events, beer miles, and race weekends matter more than impressions. Zach also shares what's next: a women's line with a dedicated designer, tech-forward shorts and tights, and an interest in a lightweight, no-nonsense running belt that disappears on the run.If you care about trail running, niche outdoor brands, or the craft behind gear that holds up mile after mile, this one will hit. Tap play, then tell us what piece you wish more brands would build. And if you're vibing with the show, subscribe, share with a trail friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more runners find us.Follow Dust on IG -  @weardustShop the Dust Website - @weardustCheck out the Mechanic Shirt - Mechanic ShirtFollow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod Use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

In this episode of Get Off My Pylon, host Matt Zemek covers the latest in Western college football, beginning with the Mountain West where San Diego State is still alive in the Group of Five race following a convincing road shutout over Fresno State. In the Bay Area, Stanford impressed by giving Miami a tough battle for longer than expected, while Cal's agonizing overtime loss to Virginia Tech suggests a middle-of-the-road existence, though a win over Stanford would guarantee a bowl berth. The Big 12 is highlighted by undefeated BYU, led by freshman QB Bear Bachmeier, who continues to conquer in-game adversity in road wins, making Offensive Coordinator Aaron Rodrick a hot coaching commodity. Utah's upcoming game against a surprising Cincinnati team will be a measuring stick for the Utes after they easily dispatched Colorado. In the Big Ten, Washington hammered Illinois, keeping the Huskies in the conference and playoff conversation. Conversely, UCLA was blown out by Indiana, exposing a lack of depth and physicality against top teams, prompting calls for Athletic Director Martin Jarmond's firing and a broad head coaching search. Finally, USC had the week off and faces a crucial, defining road game against Nebraska, which will serve as a playoff and Big Ten title eliminator for the loser.This episode is sponsored in part by TicketSmarter:Use promo code LWOS10 to receive $10 off purchases of $100 or moreUse promo code LWOS20 to receive $20 off purchases of $300 or moreThink smarter.  TicketSmarter

In this week's Get Off My Pylon, Matt Zemek unpacks a wild slate of college football out West. Jay Norvell's firing caps a messy Mountain West campaign, Stanford shocks Florida State, and Cal barely survives North Carolina. In the Big 12, BYU wins the Holy War while Arizona State and Kenny Dillingham stay in the title hunt. UCLA's defensive grit sparks new life under Tim Skipper, while Washington's offense and USC's Lincoln Riley continue to disappoint. Zemek connects the dots between chaos, coaching, and character — from Tempe to South Bend — as Week 9 looms large for programs on the rise and those on the edge.This episode is sponsored in part by TicketSmarter:Use promo code LWOS10 to receive $10 off purchases of $100 or moreUse promo code LWOS20 to receive $20 off purchases of $300 or moreThink smarter.  TicketSmarter
