Podcasts about North face

In this episode of The Business Method Podcast, host Chris Reynolds sits down with Kenneth “Hap” Klopp, the legendary former CEO who transformed The North Face from a small outdoor brand into a globally recognized powerhouse. From his early days growing up in Spokane, Washington, to leading one of the most iconic outdoor apparel companies in the world, Hap shares the leadership philosophy that drove his success, one rooted in understanding people, building authentic culture, and balancing commercial growth with environmental responsibility. Hap opens up about how The North Face built demand rather than simply following it, the innovative branding strategies that helped define the company, and the importance of storytelling in creating lasting brand value. He also reflects on sustainability, employee engagement, and how true innovation often comes from staying focused on long-term purpose rather than short-term wins. Today, Hap continues to inspire future entrepreneurs through teaching and mentorship, sharing decades of hard-earned lessons about leadership, resilience, and building meaningful businesses. This episode is packed with insights on brand-building, sustainability, leadership, and innovation straight from one of the outdoor industry's most influential pioneers.  Episode Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to Hap Klopp and The North Face 01:27 Hap Klopp's Early Inspirations and Philosophy 03:49 Challenges and Lessons in Business 07:19 Building The North Face Brand 12:18 Environmental Commitment and Innovations 16:10 The Impact and Legacy of The North Face 19:06 Company Culture and Employee Development 23:37 Branding and Storytelling 29:54 Chapters of Growth and Survival 32:13 Maintaining Employee Engagement 35:19 Creating Demand vs. Following Demand 37:40 The Importance of Focus and Survival 43:10 Influencer Marketing Before It Was Cool 46:28 The Myth of Overnight Success 48:35 Lessons from Bucky Fuller 51:29 Connecting with Nature 01:00:05 Final Thoughts and Resources    Connect with Hap Klopp Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hapklopp/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hap-klopp-b3b976/ Twitter (X): https://x.com/HapKlopp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ALMOSTbyHap/  Subscribe to The Business Method Podcast  Website: https://www.thebusinessmethod.com/  Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/TheBusinessMethod  Spotify: http://bit.ly/SpotifyTheBusinessMethod  Follow Chris Reynolds: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn — @chrisreynoldslive  https://linktr.ee/ChrisReynoldsLive

Il y a 2 ans, Benjamin Védrines a frôlé la mort. Dans l'ascension du K2 — souvent considérée comme la montagne la plus dangereuse du monde — son cerveau se met en pause. Victime d'une hypoxie sévère, il est d'abord laissé pour mort avant d'être secouru puis redescendu au camp de base. Pourtant Benjamin n'est pas un alpiniste comme les autres. Il est ce qu'on appelle un “puriste”, parmi les derniers adeptes du style alpin et de ses 3 grands principes : pas de cordes fixes, pas d'oxygène, pas de porteurs.Installé à Briançon, il tombe dès l'enfance accro à la liberté que lui offre la montagne, et se met en quête de ses recoins les plus inaccessibles. À l'obtention de son diplôme de guide de haute montagne, il commence à emmener des clients au sommet du Mont-Blanc pour financer ses propres expéditions partout dans le monde. Mais tout bascule en 2022 quand il signe son premier contrat avec The North Face. Benjamin peut enfin se consacrer à ce qui l'anime le plus, révélant ainsi ses 2 personnalités d'alpiniste bien distinctes : l'explorateur en quête de nouvelles voies à “ouvrir” et le compétiteur qui tente de battre des records sur des pics déjà conquis.Alors que l'adoption massive du style himalayen a ouvert les sommets de plus de 8000m d'altitude au grand public, Benjamin continue de revendiquer son style alpin, de plus en plus rare sur les sommets, et aussi bien plus risqué. Bienvenue dans la tête d'un homme qui, malgré les dangers, les coéquipiers perdus et plusieurs baisers avec la mort, n'a jamais perdu sa passion dévorante pour la montagne.Vous pouvez suivre les aventures de Benjamin sur son compte Instagram et sa chaîne YouTube.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : “L'alpinisme n'est pas un sport mais un art de vivre”00:13:23 : Attiré par les chronos depuis tout petit00:22:44 : “Ce jour-là, j'ai failli y passer”00:32:03 : Le déroulé classique d'une expédition00:45:21 : Renaître grâce à une prise de risque consciente00:56:21 : Starlink, oxygène, drones : la fin du “vrai” alpinisme ?01:12:06 : Gravir l'Everest en style alpin pour entrer dans l'histoire01:20:52 : Pourquoi le K2 tue beaucoup plus que l'Everest01:29:18 : “Être à 8000 m d'altitude, c'est déjà être blessé”01:37:01 : Tenter d'ouvrir une voie qui a tué 14 personnes01:46:51 : Comment financer une expédition02:02:53 : Les meilleures randonnées pour s'initier à l'alpinisme en France02:12:18 : Le bijou technologique conçu spécialement pour Benjamin02:18:13 : “La peine d'aujourd'hui sera ta force de demain”Les anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #272 - Mike Horn - Aventurier-Explorateur - Poser un cadre pour vivre libre#178 - Kilian Jornet - Alpinisme & Ultratrail - L'objectif c'est de progresser#182 - Anaëlle Malherbe - INSEP - La préparation mentale pour exceller#185 - Frédéric Jousset - Webhelp & Art Explora - La vie en FastPass#425 - Matthias Dandois - Champion de BMX - La vie freestyle d'un enfant Red BullNous avons parlé de :L'EmbrunmanNotre documentaire “Le GR20 en 7 jours”La chaîne YouTube de Benjamin (que des vidéos / films exceptionnels)Analyse de l'avalanche dans laquelle Benjamin a été prisFabien Dupuis, le préparateur mental de BenjaminLe GR10, la grande traversée des PyrénéesL'ascension périlleuse du Jannu Est décryptée par BenjaminLionel Daudet ne « voulait pas faire le solo de trop »Thibaut Marot, le photographe qui accompagne Benjamin sur ses expéditionsSeb Montaz, acolyte et caméraman principal de BenjaminLes chaussures personnalisées de Benjamin pour ses ascensionsLes recommandations de lecture :Conduites à risque - David Le BretonBiographie de Patrick Berhault – Virtuose de l'altitudeVous souhaitez sponsoriser Génération Do It Yourself ou nous proposer un partenariat ?Contactez mon label Orso Media via ce formulaire.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In this episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc is joined by Jayme Johnson, Partner and Industry Leader, Consumer and Travel & Transportation Industries, IBM Consulting Canada, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends real-world store insights from New York City with a forward-looking discussion on AI, agentic commerce, and the future of customer experience.The episode begins with reflections on the Retail Council of Canada's Manhattan store tour, where Jayme shares observations from some of the most innovative retail concepts in the world. Highlights include the immersive French department store Printemps, which Jayme describes as more “a destination than a store,” combining hospitality, curated boutique brands, and experiential design to encourage lingering and discovery. Jayme and Michael discuss how authenticity and courage in design choices can create powerful emotional connections with customers, regardless of store format.The conversation then moves through other notable stops, including Lacoste's Fifth Avenue flagship, praised for reconnecting with its heritage through brand storytelling and disciplined merchandising, and The North Face, where massive digital walls create a cinematic sense of adventure. Jayme notes that while digital experiences are compelling, retailers could go even further by enabling customers to physically test products in simulated environments.At Carhartt, the focus shifts to people and culture, with Jayme emphasizing how energized store associates drive engagement and reinforce brand identity. Gymshark's Noho location sparks discussion around digitally native brands translating online communities into physical spaces, including the use of 3D-printed mannequins modeled after real athletes. The tour concludes with Tecovas, where hospitality, sensory design, and niche positioning demonstrate how specialty retail can scale into something “sneaky big.”In the second segment of the episode, the discussion pivots to IBM's latest research on agentic commerce. Jayme explains that while AI is already deeply embedded in product discovery and reviews, the next phase will see AI agents actively making purchasing decisions on behalf of consumers. In Canada alone, adoption of AI applications has increased by more than 80 percent in two years, signaling accelerating momentum.Jayme outlines what this means for retailers: AI agents must be treated like a new customer segment, requiring structured product data, personalization, and governance. Trust, transparency, and explainability become critical as brands compete not just for human attention, but for algorithmic preference. Ultimately, Jayme argues that retailers who intentionally design for both people and AI will be best positioned to win in an increasingly automated shopping landscape.IBM Research Insights: Own the agentic commerce experience Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

In dieser Folge gibt es wieder ein paar ganz besondere Kapseln zu schlucken – wir sprechen über Bicarb! Warum Natriumbicarbonat im Wettkampf eine Rolle spielt, für wen es sinnvoll ist, wann und wie viel man davon nimmt, welche Produkte aktuell auf dem Markt sind und worauf man unbedingt achten sollte. Lars erklärt euch das Thema wie gewohnt ganz genau. Spoiler: Mit Bicarb ist er vor ein paar Wochen offenbar direkt zur neuen Bestform geflogen – gebrannt hat's auf der Straße.Außerdem klären wir die vielleicht wichtigste Frage der Woche: Wer ist aktuell das beste Team im Trailrunning? Salomon, Hoka, Adidas, Dynafit, The North Face – wer setzt sich durch, wer fällt im Ranking zurück und wer ist vielleicht der heimliche Verlierer?Und natürlich beantworten wir auch wieder eure Fragen. Zum Beispiel: Hiken auf dem Laufband mit Stöcken – was zur Hölle?! Klingt wild, macht aber vielleicht doch Sinn. Wir haben auf jeden Fall ein paar Tipps und Meinungen dazu parat.Wie immer also: ein bunter Mix aus Wissen, Diskussion und leichtem Wahnsinn.

In this deeply personal episode of the AART Podcast, host Chris Stafford sits down with acclaimed American film editor Jazzy Kettenacker for an intimate conversation about life, identity, and a career shaped by storytelling. Rather than focusing on technical process, this episode explores the human journey behind the edit — the experiences, values, and turning points that have defined Jazzy's path in film and beyond. Jazzy Kettenacker reflects on growing up with a creative instinct, discovering film as a way to make sense of the world, and how editing became not just a profession but a way of thinking and living. She speaks candidly about navigating the film industry, finding her voice as an artist, and the emotional intelligence required to shape stories that resonate. This is a conversation about resilience, intuition, and the unseen labor that gives films their emotional rhythm. Throughout the episode, Jazzy opens up about the realities of sustaining a creative life — the doubts, the breakthroughs, and the personal evolution that comes with long-term artistic work. Her story highlights the importance of trust, collaboration, and empathy, revealing how an editor's sensibility is deeply intertwined with who they are as a person. The AART Podcast is known for thoughtful, biographical conversations with artists across disciplines, and this episode is no exception. Chris guides the discussion with warmth and curiosity, creating space for reflection on creativity, identity, and what it truly means to build a life in the arts. Whether you're a filmmaker, artist, or simply someone interested in honest creative journeys, this episode offers rare insight into the inner life of a film editor whose work — and perspective — is shaped by lived experience.BIOJazzy Kettenacker, a St. Louis native and full-time Editor at BSS Outpost, is known for her dynamic editing style and relentless work ethic. A Hollins University graduate and Premiere Pro wiz, she's collaborated with top brands like The North Face, Disney+, MLS, Rolling Stone, Under Armour, Pepsi, and FX. Jazzy's dedication to creative excellence drives her to push boundaries and redefine cinematic storytelling.  Born in 199 in Columbia, MI, Jazzy is the only child of Donna Garrett, a lieutenant for the St. Louis Police Department, and Lynn Hard, a retired Home School Communicator.  She attended Compton-Drew Middle School, Webster Groves High School and Hollins University—an all women's University in Roanoke, VA. Her love for film and the process of filmmaking that she learned in college guided her to a career that began behind the camera before she realized the magic for her was to be found in the edit suite. With experience across the genres, Jazzy has now found her metier in documentary film.Keywords:Jazzy Kettenacker, Jazzy Kettenacker film editor, American film editor, film editing career, women in film, film industry stories, creative life podcast, artist biography podcast, AART Podcast, Chris Stafford podcast, film editor interview, life in film, creative identity, storytelling in cinema, behind the scenes film, artist conversations, biographical podcast, independent film voicesHost: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramAART on FacebookEmail: theaartpodcast@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aart--5814675/support.A Hollowell Studios ProductionInstagram: @theaartpodcast Email: hollowellstudios@gmail.com© Copyright: Chris Stafford | Hollowell StudiosAll Rights Reserved

Min 5: SONG SUNG BLUE: CANCIÓN PARA DOS (3 estrellas) Song Sung Blue, dirigida por Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow, Footloose) y protagonizada por Hugh Jackman y Kate Hudson, es un musical de tono íntimo y clásico que, bajo la apariencia de una feel-good movie, explora con sensibilidad la necesidad de creer en los sueños cuando el tiempo parece haberse agotado. Inspirada en una historia real y atravesada por el cancionero de Neil Diamond, la película sigue a una pareja corriente que encuentra en la música una vía de escape frente a la frustración vital y el desgaste emocional, construyendo un relato sobre segundas oportunidades, el amor maduro y la dignidad de quienes persisten sin garantías de éxito. Min 15: NOUVELLE VAGUE (3,5 estrellas) Nouvelle Vague, dirigida por Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Antes del amanecer) y protagonizada por Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch y Aubry Dullin, es una elegante y cinéfila inmersión en el nacimiento de la Nouvelle Vague francesa que reconstruye, casi en tiempo real, el rodaje y el espíritu revolucionario de À bout de souffle de Jean-Luc Godard. Lejos del biopic convencional, Linklater propone un ejercicio de estilo lúcido y juguetón que captura la efervescencia creativa, la camaradería y las tensiones entre un grupo de jóvenes cineastas dispuestos a dinamitar las reglas del cine clásico desde las calles de París. Min 21: LA CRONOLOGÍA DEL AGUA (1,5 estrellas) La cronología del agua, debut en la dirección de Kristen Stewart, adaptando las memorias de Lidia Yuknavitch, y protagonizada por Imogen Poots, es una obra radicalmente íntima y física que se adentra sin concesiones en el trauma, el deseo y la reconstrucción de la identidad femenina. A través de una narrativa fragmentada y sensorial, Stewart rehúye el relato biográfico convencional para sumergir al espectador en una experiencia emocional cruda, donde la escritura, el cuerpo y el agua funcionan como espacios de resistencia y supervivencia. Min 26: LA ASISTENTA (3 estrellas) La asistenta, dirigida por Paul Feig (La boda de mi mejor amiga, Un pequeño favor) y protagonizada por Sydney Sweeney y Amanda Seyfried, se ha convertido en uno de los thrillers psicológicos más comentados de la temporada gracias a un relato que combina suspense doméstico y perversión emocional con notable eficacia comercial. Adaptando el bestseller homónimo de Freida McFadden, la película sigue a una joven que entra a trabajar como asistenta en una lujosa casa, pronto atrapada en una relación de poder, manipulación y secretos que desdibujan la frontera entre víctima y verdugo. Min 34: RONDALLAS (3,5 estrellas) Rondallas, dirigida por Daniel Sánchez Arévalo (Azuloscurocasinegro, Primos, La gran familia española) y protagonizada por Javier Gutiérrez, María Vázquez, Judith Fernández y Tamar Novas, es una comedia dramática que estrenó en cines españoles el 1 de enero de 2026 y ha generado un notable impacto por su mezcla de emoción popular y reflexión social. El filme se sitúa en un pequeño pueblo marinero de Galicia dos años después de un trágico naufragio: ante el duelo colectivo y el desgaste anímico, los habitantes deciden reactivar su rondalla —una agrupación de música tradicional que une a varias generaciones— como vehículo de sanación, resiliencia y celebración comunitaria, transformando la pérdida en una nueva forma de unión y sentido vital. Min 35: EL MÉDICO 2 (2,5 estrellas) El médico?2, dirigida por Philipp Stölzl (El médico / Der Medicus, North Face) y protagonizada por Tom Payne, Emily Cox, Aidan Gillen y Liam Cunningham, es una secuela épica que retoma la odisea del médico medieval Rob Cole para explorar, con mayor ambición narrativa y vigor visual, los dilemas humanos, éticos y políticos de la medicina en una Europa medieval hostil a lo extranjero. Min 38: AVANCE ESTRENOS 16 ENERO 1) 28 años después: El templo de los huesos, dirigida por Nia DaCosta y protagonizada por Ralph Fiennes y Jack O'Connell, retoma la saga postapocalíptica con tensión y acción visceral; 2) El mal, de Juanma Bajo Ulloa, con Natalia Tena y Tony Dalton, ofrece un intenso drama sobre la oscuridad interior y las consecuencias de la ambición; 3) Turno de guardia (Heldin), de Petra Biondina Volpe, retrata el desgaste emocional de una enfermera enfrentada a un hospital en crisis Min 42: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON ÁNGEL LUQUE Y sí, nos e podía escapar, tras despedir 2025 con la confesión de Roberto Lancha, la sección La película de tu vida se abre en 2026 con la elección de nuestro experto en bandas sonoras. Ángel Luque nos desvela por qué "Bailando con Lobos" (1990) más allá de la prodigiosa e inolvidable composición de John Barry, es el título que marcó su convencido amor por el cine. Min 50: BSO AVATAR: FUEGO Y CENIZA (3,5 estrellas) La banda sonora de Avatar: Fire and Ash (Avatar 3), compuesta por Simon Franglen, se sitúa como uno de los pilares sensoriales del tercer capítulo de la saga, marcando una evolución clara respecto a los dos primeros filmes. Franglen —colaborador histórico de James Horner y responsable del score de Avatar: The?Way of Water— dedica siete años de trabajo y casi 1900 páginas de partituras orquestales para construir un universo sonoro que acompaña los 195 minutos de metraje, inventando incluso nuevos instrumentos para reflejar auténticamente la riqueza cultural y emocional de Pandora.

The North Face's iconic Summit Series collection has not only been a part of some of the greatest athletic feats of the past 25 years, it's also had a major influence on the technical apparel we all use today.In this 2-for-1 conversation, Luke Koppa dives into its backstory, major milestones, and standout pieces with The North Face's Global Head of Innovation, Cory Olson. He also talks with the one and only Sage Cattabriga-Alosa to get his perspective as an athlete who's been involved with this series for its entire run — including how he went from hitting backcountry booters in the baggiest clothes he could find, to summiting high-altitude peaks in the most technical gear on the market.RELATED LINKS:Episode Sponsor: SnowbirdEpisode Sponsor: OpenSnowEnter Our Weekly Gear GiveawaysOur Blister Recommended ShopsJoin Us At Blister Summit 2026For BLISTER+ Members: Discounted Blister Summit RegistrationGet Yourself Covered with BLISTER+CHECK OUT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELS:Blister Studios (our new channel)Blister Review (our original channel)TOPICS & TIMES:OpenSnow (2:09)Snowbird (4:25)Weekly Gear Giveaway (6:03)Sage's History w/ The North Face (7:10)Sage's Ah-Ha Moments w/ Apparel (23:00)Layering Evolution (36:30)Sage's Standout Products (40:56)Cory Olson's Role at The North Face (49:52)Historic and Throwback Pieces (54:14)Standouts Materials (56:36)Athlete Feedback & Design Impact (1:01:11)PFAS-Free Apparel: Present & Future (1:05:19)Care & Washing (1:10:20)Himalayan Suit (1:18:58)Summit Series x Streetwear (1:23:30)Future Projects (1:32:01)CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDBikes & Big IdeasBlister Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Where does your field jacket actually come from? Were WWII soldiers the original hypebeasts? What is the M-43 jacket? Sol and Michael sit down with Avery Trufelman, host of Articles of Interest and 99% Invisible veteran, to break down the military origins of menswear and why everyone's suddenly obsessed with gorpcore. The trio dive deep into the history of the M-65 field jacket, how World War II military surplus shaped American fashion, the invention of layering (yes, someone had to invent it), why Special Forces operators became fashion influencers, and the complicated ethics of wearing military aesthetics as civilians. Further, Avery shares insights from her latest podcast season "Gear," explaining the connection between outdoor brands and military contracts, the decline of army surplus stores, why The Row is making combat boots now, and how Buck Mason's militaria collection tells the story of American style. They also discuss Vivienne Westwood's punk legacy, the upcoming Antwerp Six book, athleisure as health signifier, Rick Owens' influence on tactical fashion, women's gear and the "pink it and shrink it" problem, plus whether military fashion makes you complicit in something larger. Other topics include: the Parsons jacket and Supreme-style military drops, George Doria inventing venture capital AND the field jacket, challenge coins and PowerPoint patch design, Americana Pipe Dream's hunt for rare surplus, Cher and the Armenian diaspora (a future episode?), and why fashion never really goes away — it just cycles back.Want to support the podcast?

This is a special interview with Kit DesLauriers – the person to ski the Seven Summits – the highest mountains on each of the planet's seven continents. I read Kit's book ‘Higher Love' in the summer of 2025 and was blown away by her bravery, courage, determination and, quite frankly, by her incredible organisation. During our conversation Kit covers her background in skiing as a former Freeride World Tour champion, as well as explaining the logistical, physical and physiological challenges she faced while tackling the Seven Summits. This episode is the latest in a series of interviews with high-achieving women in the world of snowsports.

In this final episode of the mini series The Mentorship Sessions, we are delighted to be joined by Emily Harrington and Hazel Findlay. Both of these women have accolades and accomplishments that speak for themselves, but let go ahead and name a few to start off. Emily was the fourth woman ever to free climb El Cap in a day, and the first woman to do so via the Golden Gate route, she's summited Mount Everest, is a very accomplished comp climber, and has the first female ascent of a number of worldwide 5.14s. Meanwhile Hazel has been a pro climber for over a decade, she was the first woman to climb a trad route rated E9, she's put up multiple first ascents on big walls, she was the 3rd person to send Magic Line (5.14c) in Yosemite, and is the Founder of StrongMind which focuses on mental training and fear management. The two of them were once teammates on the North Face team and went on a number of adventures across the world including a trip to big wall in Morocco, which we get into. They both discuss how becoming a mother has changed their approach to fear and risk management, and how to trust (and when not to trust) a mentor, setting boundaries, and their own mental training.

Send us a textWhat happens when a top ultrarunner steps behind the curtain and starts managing athletes, budgets, and contracts—while still chasing Western States dreams? We sat down with Coree Woltring for an unfiltered deep dive into the modern trail ecosystem: how sponsorships really get done, why timing matters, what brands value beyond results, and how the sport can better support its athletes.Coree traces his arc from triathlon hopeful to crewing Leadville, to a breakout North Face contract sparked by a well-timed magazine article. Then the script flips. He explains life on both sides of the table at Merrell—shaping a roster that spans Skyrunner World Series, Western States, and UTMB—while guiding athletes through contract season, social expectations, and the art of the ask. If you're wondering how to pitch a brand, whether to hire an agent, or how to stand out without selling out, Coree's playbook is refreshingly clear: start early, know your value, and communicate like a pro.We also tackle the money question head-on. From Broken Arrow's big prize purse to the financial squeeze on golden ticket chasers, Corey lays out why meaningful prize money and smarter collaboration between races and brands would elevate competition and sustainability. And when injury forced a midyear reset, photography and storytelling filled the gap—leading to paid work with Cirque Series and a new creative lane that complements, rather than replaces, racing.There's plenty of forward look, too: Western States is back on Coree's calendar, with Moab 240 and Cape Town in the mix, plus a sharp take on trail running's Olympic prospects through sub-ultra formats. It's a conversation for athletes, fans, and industry folks who care about performance, credibility, and the future of the sport. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—then tell us what you'd fix first: contracts, prize money, or social expectations?Follow Coree on IG - @coreewolteringFollow James on IG - @jameslauriello Follow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_pod Use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com!

Born in Bogota, Colombia, she grew up in an orphanage before being adopted at nine years old and moving to La Crosse, Wisconsin.Her trail running career took off after working as a hiking guide at Glacier National Park, where she discovered her passion for mountain running during her off days.

Introducing The Rock Fight Deep Dive! A new series where we team up with a partner for a deeper look at an outdoor industry topic.Today Colin takes an unfiltered look at the state of fabric innovation in the outdoor industry by heading to the Functional Fabric Fair in Portland, Oregon.Prompted by a listener letter asking whether the industry's obsession with lifestyle over performance has killed innovation, Colin hits the trade show floor to find out for himself.He's joined by:Charles Ross, performance material expert, who defines true innovation as “solving real problems — not just changing colors.”Michelle Rose, designer and founder of Struktur Society, who argues that imagination and play—not process—drive breakthroughs.Greg Garrigues, Director of Innovation at Mountain Hardwear, who insists innovation is about diligence and iteration, not just creativity.Mya Franklin of LifeLabs, a new textile company pushing thermal-regulation fabrics born from Stanford research.Stewart Sheppard, sustainability veteran, who explains that consumers don't dream of “green products” — they dream of great gear that works and feels good.And Ben Ryan, formerly of The North Face and Salomon, who reminds us that the spark of excitement and curiosity still fuels every real innovation.What did we find when we dove deep? Innovation isn't dead — it's just not where you used to look for it.Thanks for listening! The Rock Fight is a production of Rock Fight, LLC.

The kids have been back in school for a couple of months now, which has allowed plenty of time for marketers to collect their data on the spending preferences and habits of our kids. The folks at TeenVoice tell us that this year kids were excited about shopping. Using a scale of one to five, the excitability factor averaged about three-point-six, with girls and boys being equal, and younger kids more excited than those who are older to go shopping. When it comes to who is influencing their purchases, social media and parents hold equal influence. You won't be surprised that this year's in-demand shoe brands are Nike, Adidas, and Jordans. Preferred backpack brands are Nike, Jansport, and North Face. And what about skinny jeans? Well, they are “out” this year. As Christian parents, we need to mindful of our need to counter the constant onslaught of marketing messages that convince our kids that they are what they wear. Instead, we need to teach them principles and practices of biblical stewardship.

Maren Hamilton, former Head of Social at The North Face and current Director of Global Brand and Community at popFly. We break down her core thesis: brand is social and social is brand. Maren shares why brands must stop treating social as a downstream channel, how to bring social thinking upstream into campaign planning and what it takes to build a social-first brand.  Enjoy this episode and discover other resources below: Insight Deck | Want 20 of our favorite insights shared on the show?  Booklist | Here's our curated list of recommended books over the years.

In this episode of Scratch, Eric chats with Will Pearson, Co-Founder of Ocean Bottle, the brand turning reusable bottles into vehicles for global impact. One of the biggest takeaways from Will's story is how Ocean Bottle has made impact completely non-negotiable in its business model; every purchase is tied directly to measurable change. Rather than chasing the traditional direct-to-consumer routes, the brand leaned into B2B partnerships as its true growth engine, scaling faster through collaborations like Ed Sheeran's tour than through paid ads. Will also highlights that in a purpose-driven category, the goal isn't to outcompete others but to grow the category as a whole. Ocean Bottle's marketing reflects this mindset, relying on storytelling backed by proof, from the Change Collective initiative to transparent reporting on every kilo of plastic collected. Ultimately, the key learning for marketers is clear: purpose isn't dead; it is evolving. And partnerships are how purpose-led brands grow.Watch the video version of this podcast on Youtube ▶️: [coming soon]

Jamie Starr has had more great jobs in the ski industry than most guests I've had on the show. Really, he was born to be a part of this industry. Growing up in Crested Butte taught Jamie a love of the mountains and understanding of what it takes to make non-traditional athletes tick, which all helped him in his later endeavors.  But what drove Jamie was a passion to not only be the best, but to do good and really make a difference in the world.  On the podcast we talk about law school, his incredible career with brands like The North Face, Spyder, DPS, Pomoca, how to handle athlete loss, and more.  It's a business episode with one of the few lawyers I've had on the podcast.

Kim Beckinsale and Alina McMaster, both in their mid-50s, race with Mountain Designs Wild Women, along with their teammates Cass Kimlin and Del Lloyd, who are both over 40. The team made history last year by becoming the first all-female team to win the 450 km Legend Expedition Race along Australia's Great Ocean Road, finishing in 73:09:27 and outracing men half their age. They unpack how women-only team chemistry—less ego, more communication, and strategic towing/help—can be a superpower over multi-day, map-and-compass courses on little sleep. They also share how their training has evolved with age (fewer “flog yourself” sessions, sharper intensity, bigger recovery) and how menopause shows up (heat management, sleep shifts, mood) without slowing performance. Kim and Alina are currently at Expedition Canada 2025, getting ready to tackle a 750+ km trek–bike–paddle course starting September 25.

Paul Hendricks is the Executive Director of the Conservation Alliance, a coalition of more than 270 businesses working together to protect wild places across North America. Founded nearly four decades ago by Patagonia, REI, The North Face, and Kelty, the Conservation Alliance has grown into one of the most important forces in conservation—pooling dollars, influence, and a collective business voice to support grassroots campaigns that keep public lands and waters healthy for generations to come. At a time when those places are under constant pressure, the Conservation Alliance is showing that businesses don't have to sit on the sidelines—they can be a powerful part of the solution. Paul's own path to this role winds through some of the most interesting corners of the conservation and environmental worlds. After earning a few advanced degrees, he started at Global Greengrants Fund, working with grassroots activists around the globe. He then joined Patagonia's legendary environmental team, where he learned firsthand how a company can weave values into every decision. From there he helped build sustainability programs at Rivian, tackling the climate footprint of a car company from the inside. And woven through all of that is a through-line of humility, service, and adventure. In this conversation, Paul and I talk about the roots of his love for the outdoors, the mentors and lessons that shaped his career, and what it's like to step into the hot seat as a first-time executive director. We dig into the Conservation Alliance's mission and why business advocacy matters, the current threats facing public lands, and how Paul stays grounded in turbulent times. We also talk about family, leadership, failure, and why hope is not just possible but necessary. It's a candid, thoughtful conversation with someone who's not only shaping the future of conservation, but doing it with humility, persistence, and just enough humor to keep it human. I've had the privilege of knowing Paul for almost 15 years–we met when he first moved to Colorado, became running and climbing partners, and have logged more hours together in the mountains and had more meaningful conversations than I can count. Watching him grow into this role has been inspiring, both for the positions he's held and for the way he's carried himself along the way. --- Paul Hendricks The Conservation Alliance Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/paul-hendricks/ --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 2:37 – Intro, Ed's one running partner 4:03 – How the outdoors has shaped Paul's career 6:48 – Plan post-college 12:41 – Sunk-cost fallacy 14:22 – Global Greengrants Fund 17:05 – Learning from Rick Ridgeway 20:23 – Lessons from Patagonia 24:25 – Ready for a new challenge 30:00 – Laid off at Rivian 36:02 – Being in charge 38:01 – The Conservation Alliance history 43:07 – TCA within public lands threats 48:58 – What's missing from the public lands story? 51:49 – Paul's role as a leader 56:14 – Role models 59:04 – Getting outdoors now 1:01:10 – Book recs 1:03:09 – 1% for the Planet collab 1:05:14 – Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Support Mountain & Prairie Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts
