In this episode, Stu and Chip talk with Jason Munns, the new Executive Director of the Utah NICA Cycling League, about how youth mountain biking is transforming lives and communities in Utah. Jason shares his journey from small-town BMX kid and engineer to founding the Box Elder Composite team and now leading a league of 7,400+ student-athletes. The conversation covers the unique culture of NICA—its focus on inclusivity, personal growth, and “meeting kids where they're at”—along with favorite race and coaching memories, mental health wins, and what makes riding bikes such a powerful lifelong activity. They also discuss Utah's outsized role in the national NICA landscape, trail access and community impact, new ideas like adventure/“party” laps and pit-zone games to bring more fun to race days, and big upcoming events including Western Regionals and the World Cup at Soldier Hollow, where NICA riders may get a taste of the world stage.

In this episode, Bryan Johnson, CEO and Co-Founder of WeInfuse, CEO of RxToolKit, and CEO of InfuseTrack talks about the company's newest software, InfuseTrack. After building infusion businesses — from Innovative Infusions and the Austin Infusion Centers to co-founding NICA and the Infusion Access Foundation — Bryan and his co-founder Reece Norris spotted yet another industry pain point worth solving. InfuseTrack started as a side project to track portable infusion pumps for home infusion clients, but quickly grew into a full asset and compliance platform once Bryan started showing it around. Today it tracks infusion pumps, IV poles, chairs, vein finders, blood pressure cuffs, temperatures, certifications, licenses, lease agreements, and inspections — all in one place, with a simple red, yellow, green dashboard that tells your team exactly what needs attention. Bryan shares a memorable story about walking into a client's infusion suite to find $3,000 worth of IV pumps wrapped in plastic on a back room floor, dropped off a month earlier and forgotten. It's the kind of expensive, compliance-risking situation InfuseTrack is built to prevent — especially as organizations scale across multiple locations. The episode also covers integrations with biomed vendors, environmental monitoring partners, and last-mile logistics providers like VirtuScript (hear our earlier episode with VirtuScript here). InfuseTrack works as a standalone product or integrates tightly with WeInfuse and RxToolKit through single sign-on. Want to see it in action? Visit InfuseTrack.com or email Sales@InfuseTrack.com to schedule a demo. The InfuseTrack team will also be at the National Infusion Center Association annual conference this July if you want to see it in person!

In this episode of the Mind Mountain Podcast, Jake sits down with John Casson. Director of Education at the Professional Mountain Bike Instructor Association (PMBIA), to explore how a more human-centered approach to coaching helps riders build confidence and keep progressing. John shares how he got into mountain biking in the late 1980s, reflects on how the sport has changed—especially access, cost, and youth programs like NICA—and explains how his background in snowboard instruction and high-performance coach development shaped his approach to teaching. They discuss why frameworks and principles matter more than rigid “one right way” tutorials, the difference between information and implementation, decision-making in high-consequence terrain through smart progression and terrain choice, and why deliberate practice and the “explore” phase are often overlooked. John also outlines his PMBIA role overseeing curriculum development and instructor-trainer training.You can check out the PMBIA on their website here, or follow them on Instagram here.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:09 John's MTB Origin Story03:59 How MTB Culture Evolved06:45 From Snowboarding to Coaching08:41 Joining PMBIA and Education Role10:52 Why PMBIA Framework Clicks15:42 Human Centered Coaching Defined16:26 YouTube vs Real Implementation21:04 Static Tips vs Dynamic Riding24:43 Short Courses vs Long Term Growth32:11 Coaching Under Pressure Setup32:55 Racing Risk Reality33:34 Progression to Big Features35:34 Personalized Rider Timelines36:41 Why Sending It Fails38:43 Leap of Faith Mindset40:03 Previewing Goal Features43:35 Fear Versus Readiness45:38 Growth Without Going Bigger48:56 Learning Joy Beyond Riding54:30 Learning Styles Myth57:31 Explore Phase Matters01:01:42 Think Less Ride Better01:03:17 PMBAA Future Direction01:06:16 Final Wrap Up___________________________ FREE Mental About MTB Community with direct access to me

Today, we're chatting with Nica, the founder behind FashioNica — a live-streamed marketplace for curated pre-loved designer handbags, jewelry, and watches that has built one of the most devoted communities in the luxury resale space. Every Thursday at 7 p.m. Pacific, Nica drops a new collection, but the real magic happens in the thirty minutes before that, when she goes live on Instagram to show off what she found that week — it's basically a FaceTime call with a few thousand of your most handbag-obsessed girlfriends to see what Nica found this week. Each drop, her bags routinely sell out in under two minutes. Nica grew up thrifting, scanning the racks at Goodwill and Salvation Army for the trends she'd clock at Forever 21, where she worked after school. She developed a sharp eye early — and, as it turned out, an even sharper instinct for which pieces were worth holding onto. A Nordstrom employee discount and a Chloé backpack were her gateway into designer pieces. After that, there was no going back — though she's never really considered buying new when pre-loved exists. What started as a passion project filmed on an iPhone, with bags laid out all over her apartment, has grown into a full operation with a team, a warehouse, international sourcing trips, and a major pop-up event — FashioNica Fest — that drew hundreds of community members to a studio full of bags she'd personally sourced in Japan.  On today's episode, we get into all of it — how Nica sources the pieces that end up in your cart, the art of the Thursday night drop, and why she believes a bag with a little wear is always going to be more interesting than one that's never left the store.  Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [6:04] Nica got into thrifting at the Goodwill and Salvation Army in high school. [9:45] How she got into designer handbags during her time working at Nordstrom. [12:40] How she landed styling work on celebrity cover shoots by sliding into DMs.  [17:10] Why she started creating fashion content on TikTok.  [22:31] Investing $15,000 into an early inventory buy. [27:08] Prepping for a weekly bag drop. [34:25] Growing the team behind FashioNica.  [34:25] Growing the team behind FashioNica. [37:21] Designer bag sourcing trips in Paris and Japan.  [39:15] Planning FashioNica Fest: the first major pop-up, born from a sourcing trip.  [44:24] Nica's personal bag collection.  [48:47] Watching Jane Birkin's original Birkin sell at auction for $10 million.  EPISODE MENTIONS:  FashioNica.com @xofashionica FashioNica on TikTok Nica's YouTube Jenn Im - Youtube Aya Kanai @fashionica.shop - "behind the bag drop" secret Instagram LET'S CONNECT:

River, a little black spaniel in a bright orange vest is searching river bank in a Hampshire nature reserve. On this occasion, it's a demonstration only. River is unique: the only conservation dog in the UK trained to find signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus), an American invasive species that was farmed as a delicacy in the UK in the 1960s and escaped into the wild. The signal crayfish is a well equipped predator and will eat vegetation, small invertebrates and fish, including junior native crayfish. If they're hungry, they will turn on each other. They grow up to 18cm and burrow up to two metres deep into waterway banks, damaging habitat and leaving canals vulnerable to collapse. As if this weren't enough, they also carry "crayfish plague", a fungal disease, which is fatal to the UK's native white-clawed crayfish. The native crayfish has declined drastically to the point of extinction. (The situation is akin to that of the invasive grey and native red squirrel). River's handler, Lucy Wilde explains to Dogs with Jobs presenter, Kate Fairweather, how River has ended up with this specialised role, and what her working life looks like. More info: Follow Lucy on IG @wildeecologydogs As mentioned in the podcast: The Ecology Detection Dog Working Group Other conservation dog episodes: Reid, the bio security dog - update a year on Reid the bio security dog - the original interview; Skye, the stoat detection dog working to keep Orkney free from predators; A team of five detection dogs survey the Isle of May for ground nesting storm petrels; Barley the conservation dog and his international projects; Nica, Nettle and Phoenix, the Japanese knotweed detection dogs Do you work your dog or dogs?

“Il fabbricante di lacrime” di Erin Doom è stato il romanzo più venduto in Italia nel 2022. Da questo successo è nato un film, che racconta la storia di Nica e Rigel: timida e innocente lei, talentuoso, ma problematico lui. I due adolescenti sono cresciuti nello stesso orfanotrofio e vengono presi in affidamento dalla stessa coppia: ma il rapporto tra i due è come un pendolo che oscilla tra repulsione e attrazione.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The last regularly scheduled episode of The Boat Galley Podcast is a discussion between Nica and Carolyn on how cruising has changed. Summary Today's episode of The Boat Galley podcast is actually a little different. Welcome to a conversation between Carolyn Shearlock and Nica Waters on changes to cruising in the past few decades. But first, we have some news for you.  We've enjoyed recording this podcast for over 800 episodes over the past eight years. That's a lot of useful information available in short episodes--most less than ten minutes long. If you're new to the podcast, make sure you go back and check out our old content.  Thank you to all our listeners. And also, thank you to our sponsors who have supported us. We reached out to our sponsors because we use and love their products. We're not only grateful for their support of the podcast but also for how they've helped make our own cruising lives easier.  Changes in Cruising Nica first began cruising in the 1990s, and Carolyn began in 2002. Since then, we've seen a lot of changes. One of the biggest has been access to information. With access to satellite-based internet, it's easier to get information than ever. The new challenge is learning to differentiate between useful information and infotainment. GPS Of course, a huge game-changer has been the arrival of GPS. In the early days, it wasn't reliable. Early chart plotters made it appear your boat was on land, and GPS service included a warning that it would only be reliable to five miles.  Nica notes that in her current location in French Polynesia, GPS has made navigation much easier. However, she would not rely on it at night.   Ease of Setting Out Carolyn notes that it used to be typical for cruisers to begin by coastal cruising. They might stay just offshore for five years while they gain the skills required to travel farther afield.  Today, it's easier to set off more quickly. You can connect to the information you need farther from shore. However, it also means some cruisers don't have the experience and skills to rely on if things go wrong.  More cruisers set out with a big goal, like circumnavigating. Carolyn reminds us of Lin Pardey's advice: to keeping going as long as it's fun.  Nica notes that many cruisers are buying larger and more luxurious vessels. That means that they may not have a plan for when their freezer fails or their watermaker needs to be repaired. Skills like knowing how to keep food without refrigeration or how to gather rainwater can help any cruiser if equipment breaks down in a remote location. Redundancy of skills is as important as redundancy in equipment.  Returning to navigation, a cruiser needs to have a plan for if GPS itself becomes unavailable. With paper charts no longer being updated, this becomes a greater challenge.  Carolyn credits her experience as a small boat racer for having the skills to move her boat if something goes wrong. Although she feels self-sufficiency is important, she also expresses gratitude for fellow cruisers who suggested quick fixes when she and Dave were trying to make the perfect repair.  Advice for Cruisers The Boat Galley exists to make cruising easier and more fun. So it's time to share some advice.  Flexibility Nica and Carolyn agree that mental flexibility and the ability to slow down are among the most important traits for any cruiser. The theme music of the podcast expresses this key. It's titled "Slow Down." Stay Curious and Open to Adventure   There will be days when you feel tired or homesick. But if you keep that curiosity and sense of adventure, whether you're sailing in familiar waters or farther ashore, you'll be enjoying the best benefits of cruising.  Carolyn reminds us that you can't plan for everything. That's actually the definition of adventure--not knowing what will happen next.   Not everything will look like a YouTube video. You'll experience highs and lows. But most of cruising is the mundane middle--washing dishes, moving stuff around to reach other stuff, etc.  Farewell Carolyn and Nica are proud of all the work they've done on the podcast, providing useful tips for others. They love hearing from listeners and look forward to sharing more about this amazing lifestyle.  Subscribe to the Boat Galley Newsletter! - https://theboatgalley.com/newsletter-signup-2 Today's episode of The Boat Galley Podcast is sponsored by MantusMarine.com, maker of the Mantus anchor, now available in models with and without a roll bar.

This episode with artist Nica Quinn was a long while in the making, as you'll hear in this chat when we both share our stories of synchronisities and, quite frankly, miraculous happenings and path crossings. We've never met in person, but it always fascinates me when one path impacts another profoundly, and creates a new reality altogether. Isn't that so often the way with horses, especially, as we talk about in this episode, our more challenging horses? In this inspiring conversation, Nica shares about her creative journey, how horses brought her art to life, how trust in the process has changed everything and why she thinks being creative and making time for art might just be the key to moving through our current world in a good way.  I share a harrowing tale that drove home the power of community, support and reaching across divides, and we both unpack why we love collaboration and why the "collective" experience feels so critical right now in the horse world and beyond. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!  Nica Quinn is an intuitive artist and designer based in Scotland, whose mission is to inspire creativity and deeper connections with ourselves, nature and horses.  FInd out more about Nica and her creations at www.nicadrawsnature.com

In this episode, I sit down with Nica and Jeremy Waters, a couple cruising on their 28 foot Bristol Channel Cutter, Calypso. We met up on the north side of Nuka Hiva in the Marquesas. You might recognize Nica's voice from The Boat Galley podcast she does with Carolyn Shearlock. Jermey has created an affordable weather routing tool for all cruisers called Fast Seas. They both provide information and inspiration for other cruisers, having set sail multiple times in their own lives - first as a young couple, then as a family of four, now as a retired couple. You can follow their adventures at Fit2Sail.com.

Cabbage is the ultimate cruiser vegetable with endless options. Here are 10 ways Nica uses cabbage on board.   Summary  Cabbage is a perfect vegetable for cruising. It stores well, is nutritious, and can be used in so many different ways. You can eat it both raw and cooked.  Long after other vegetables have been eaten or spoiled, cabbage is still good. So what are some of those amazing options?  You can add it to a stew or casserole for more fiber. It fills out a stir-fry when other vegetables are in short supply. Cabbage is delicious in slaw, both with mayonnaise and a vinaigrette dressing. Of course, kimchi and saurkraut are delicious options. And you can roast it in your oven or on the grill.  So how do you make the most of it while cruising? First, don't cut into the head. Take individual leaves off, leaving the solid core. Second, store it in a cool, dark place. There's no need to refrigerate it.  Third, if it starts to rot (and you'll smell it, if it does), just cut off the bad part and continue to use the rest.  For more suggestions on how to use cabbage while cruising, listen to the full podcast or read the transcript on The Boat Galley website.

    Three things to consider when planning to leave somewhere on your boat. Hint: Arrival time is often the key. Summary  Planning a trip by boat is far more complex than a trip by car. You can't simply decide when you'll leave and start out. There are actually three factors you need to think about when planning when to leave on the next leg of your journey. First, ask yourself when you need to arrive. Do you have to align your arrival with the tides? Or perhaps daylight? Then your calculations are a bit more complex and require some thought. Secondly, what is the weather? Do you need to arrive somewhere ahead of a weather front? Perhaps you need to leave an anchorage that is not optimal for the weather coming in.  Finally, how will your boat's speed affect your timing? In addition, if you travel either faster or slower than expected, how will you adjust?  For more details and real-life examples, listen to the full podcast or check out Timing Passes in the Tuamotus(https://www.fit2sail.com/countdown-to-cruising/2025/7/1/timing-passes-in-the-tuamotus).  Subscribe to the Boat Galley Newsletter! - https://theboatgalley.com/newsletter-signup-2 Links (Amazon links are affiliate links, meaning that The Boat Galley Podcast earns from qualifying purchases; some other links may be affiliate links): Departure planning -  https://fastseas.com NEW Boat Galley weather book - https://products.theboatgalley.com/products/weather  Nica email - nica@fit2sail.com Carolyn email - carolyn@theboatgalley.com Today's episode of The Boat Galley Podcast is sponsored by MantusMarine.com, maker of the Mantus anchor, now available in models with and without a roll bar.

Here are some pratical hints about applying for a long stay visa in French Polynesia: the three steps to follow so you can leisurely enjoy the islands. Note - this information is current as of July 2025. Summary If you're an American who wants to stay longer in French Polynesia than the standard 90-day visa allows, you must apply for a long-stay visa. However, unlike in some Caribbean nations, such as the Bahamas, you cannot simply extend your visa when it is nearing expiration. If you don't have a long-stay visa, you'll be required to leave. So, if you worry about completing boat tasks on time or if you want to explore this beautiful country longer, apply for a long-stay visa from Panama. The basics: You need to request an appointment at the French Embassy online. It takes time to complete the request, and you'll need to have documents handy. You will ultimately need to visit the Embassy three times to complete all the steps. Your request requires approval from both Panama and Papeete in Tahiti. That means it could take weeks for your visa to arrive. Finally, you'll find helpful resources in the links below. To get complete details of the process, listen to the full podcast or check out  Applying for a Long Stay Visa for French Polynesia (https://www.fit2sail.com/countdown-to-cruising/2025/5/9/applying-for-a-long-stay-visa-for-french-polynesia).

Grocery Shopping, Marquesas-style. Here are three  things to know about restocking your food supply in the Marquesas. Summary Before we arrived in the Marquesas, I worried about the ease of provisioning groceries. Yes, everyone eats everywhere. However, I had heard that stores were mostly nonexistent, had few items available, and what was found would be expensive. What was the reality? First, you'll find three types of "stores": magasins (small, department-store-ish businesses), green markets, and locals selling affordable produce from their gardens. Second, we found most of what we needed. We had heard that black beans were hard to find, so we stocked up in Panama, as we eat them frequently. But everything we looked for, we found. And finally, necessities (like flour, canned vegetables, and some meats) were subsidized by the French government to make them affordable. You can find them by looking for red tags. These appear either on the item or the shelf. Bottom line? While costs for many items were higher than we're used to in the United States and Canada, the availability of produce from local sellers and subsidized groceries makes provisioning manageable.

We live in a world that glorifies hustle, high performance, and constant doing. We rarely pause to ask what truly drives us or what it might cost to keep going without pause. Success demands work, but what if it's not always about pushing harder? While it might not sound like it, slowing down, looking inward, and rediscovering your purpose can redefine your performance and growth.In this powerful episode of The Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Alison Tetrick to explore what it really means to find joy, purpose, and performance—on and off the bike.Alison Tetrick is the President and Co-Founder of Saga Ventures, an entrepreneur and former professional cyclist and World Championship medalist known for her bold leadership and storytelling. With a background in science and a master's in psychology, she brings a unique blend of athletic grit, strategic thinking, and purpose-driven advocacy to everything she does.From her beginnings on a California cattle ranch to racing at the highest levels of sport, Alison opens up about how she navigated identity shifts, rediscovered joy through gravel racing, and now helps others—especially women—find their footing through grit, grace, and community.Here are the things you will learn in this episode:• Redefining peak performance as alignment of mind, body, and spirit—not just output.• Creating space for curiosity as a nonjudgmental leadership superpower.• Knowing when to push and when to pause: the real power of grit and grace.• Shifting focus from results to effort to build resilient, motivated teams.With stories that span from Olympic training centers to launching bandana-funded scholarships for girls in sport, Alison reminds us that success isn't always about pushing harder. Sometimes, it's about pulling back, staying grounded, and listening to what makes your heart flutter.Get ready to feel inspired!

Everything you need to know about this cruiser-based, crowd-sourced, social app. We rely on it every day! Summary When you've arrived at a new anchorage, how do you figure out how to find necessities? Especially if you're out of range of The Boat Galley cruising guides? After all, there are places where cruising guides don't exist. Luckily I have a great resource to share.  Cruising is more than dolphins and beautiful sunsets. Sometimes, you gotta get stuff done, like buying groceries or diesel. Or maybe you're just craving a restaurant meal or want a fun day off the boat.  You have a few options for finding information. You can read guides and hope the information isn't out of date. You can review Google Maps. You can even dinghy around to other boaters and ask. They're all helpful resources. And the last might even introduce you to a new friend. We rely on the app NoForeignLand.com. No information is hidden behind a paywall. There are no pop-up ads. You can support them on Patreon. But they don't sell user's information. Social features include tracking other boats. Information is provided by cruisers for cruisers.

Distilling a 4200-mile Pacific passage into memorable sound bites isn't easy. But certain experiences definitely stand out. Here are some favorite moments from our 33 days at sea. Summary  Sitting in a rolling anchorage is a great time to review Pacific passage highlights. After 32 days at sea and 8 hours heaving to so we could anchor during daylight there are so many epic experiences to reflect on. On our passage, I wrote daily emails. Follow the link below for access to all of them. They include observations of conditions and the moon and stars. But here, I'm just focusing on the highlights. One major highlight was crossing the Equator. Why should crossing an imaginary line feel so momentous? I don't know. But talking to other cruisers, I know we're not alone.  We also saw an epic pod of commuting dolphins. I say commuting because they didn't play in the bow but kept moving. Other wildlife included a visiting bird, determined to be a swallowtail gull.  Near the equator, the moon rises as the sun is setting. So we could see the sun going down over our bow as the moon rose over our transom.  Before the seas became rough, we caught a large mahi-mahi that kept us fed for two days.  While not a highlight, the chafe of our main halyard added some excitement to the passage. Using the topping lift to carry the main was a temporary fix until we used it as a messenger line to secure a replacement halyard.  Other highlights included ticking off milestones--our first 1000 miles and crossing the equator. I enjoyed watching our self-steering unit (we called it Larry) do its work.  Of course, even routines are momentous underway, including our traditional Sunday pancake breakfast. With 30 knots of wind, it was exciting. But it was a good reminder of how we're adjusting our ideas about acceptable conditions.  We completed our passage of over 3000 miles at 5.5 knots on average, faster than many cruisers on boats longer than our 28-foot Calypso. In the end, we were generally comfortable, ate well, and got enough rest. I hope to see you in an anchorage. Look for Calypso. And check out the links to find pictures and more details of our passage.

Provisioning for a long passage is only one thing you have to do before setting out for distant shores. It's even more difficult when you're doing it in somewhere that's new to you. Here's how we managed the task on a 4-day timeline.  Summary We thought we had plenty of time to leisurely provision our boat before leaving for French Polynesia. We could focus on other boat tasks in the meantime. But receiving a visa ahead of time meant we had to get moving.  So, how do you provision for a long passage on a short timeline? And especially when it's in a place you're unfamiliar with? Although this wasn't a new activity, the short time meant efficiency trumped budget. We did not have time to travel all over the city to buy beans for ten cents less a can.  What helped me stay organized? Making a list focused on our needs for the passage and what would be expensive at our destination. Using the Internet to decide where to shop--would they have what we needed to be worth the trip? Keeping in mind how much we could carry at a time. And finally, buying fresh items last. I can't say I wasn't frazzled. But I got the job done. And in the time available.  Links (Amazon links are affiliate links, meaning that The Boat Galley Podcast earns from qualifying purchases; some other links may be affiliate links): Provisioning Course - https://products.theboatgalley.com/products/provisioning-meal-planning-and-food-storage The Boat Galley Website - https://theboatgalley.com Nica email - nica@fit2sail.com Carolyn email - carolyn@theboatgalley.com Subscribe to the Boat Galley Newsletter! - https://theboatgalley.com/newsletter-signup-2 Click to see all podcast sponsors, past and present. - https://bit.ly/3idXto7 Music: “Slow Down” by Yvette Craig              

What are the food logistics for a Panama Canal transit? With the potential for an expensive food delivery bill on the line, we give you the best tips to avoid a real budget buster.  Summary When we hired an agent to help us navigate our transit through the Panama Canal, we got a lot of answers. But the requirements for feeding the advisor who boarded to help us through the locks were vague. And we found little information on blogs and websites by fellow cruisers. So these are the requirements for ensuring the advisor's comfort. And how we dealt with them. You must provide for the comfort of your advisor. This includes the availability of shade, a toilet, sealed water bottles, and hot meals. In addition, your advisor can arrange food delivery if they are dissatisfied with your offerings.  The key was to prepare ahead as much as possible and to be flexible. I recommend offering options to the advisor. And, of course, snacks and coffee are always welcome.  The podcast offers more details of how we managed to feed the agent during our canal transit.
