In her first 90 days running corporate development for a venture-backed acquirer, Hannah Sandmeyer closed sixty million dollars in EBITDA. The company had raised a billion dollars in a single Series D and its whole model was growth by acquisition. Then it collapsed when the promised IPO never came. That experience showed her how powerful M&A can be, and it set up the question behind everything she does now, which is what that power looks like when it serves something other than speed and price. Hannah is the founder and CEO of Up and Over Advisors, the first certified B Corporation in the world dedicated exclusively to values-aligned M&A sourcing, and the founder of Steward Market, a live three-sided marketplace for ethical business transitions. She also co-hosts the Ethical Exits podcast. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why mission-driven founders belong on the buy side and not only the sell side, how shared values and trust can change a deal's structure and open the door to seller financing, how employee ownership and acquisition can work together, and how Steward Market uses values as searchable infrastructure so sellers can find a buyer by mission and hold period rather than valuation alone. HANNAH'S JOURNEY: Hannah grew up in Boise, Idaho, wanting to be a civil rights lawyer for the ACLU, studied political science, and came to see M&A as social and economic justice work because an ownership transition is a redistribution of power. She spent about 18 years in go-to-market and revenue roles before being asked in 2021 to run a corporate development team, where she learned that buying a company is just a different kind of sale. After that acquirer collapsed, she started her own firm expecting to do fractional sales work for B Corps. Instead, founders kept asking her to help them buy companies, and fractional corporate development was born. When she suggested that mission-driven founders could be acquirers too, they recoiled, which led her and her partner to launch Ethical Exits to explore what mission-driven M&A actually looks like. KEY INSIGHTS: Once you see the power of inorganic growth, you cannot unsee it as a lever. The real question is not whether acquisition is good or bad, but what you point it at. Values are a real deal variable. When a buyer and seller genuinely share goals and build trust, sellers become more open to seller financing and less fixated on all cash or the highest multiple. Employee ownership and acquisition can reinforce each other. Hannah points to a social work company that converted to an ESOP, acquired other firms, and began cutting checks north of a million dollars to retiring social workers. An ethical exit is not a partisan idea. Yvon Chouinard put Patagonia's purpose into a trust, and Eddie Smith turned down offers north of four hundred million dollars for Grady White because, as he put it, the company has a soul. The two men likely sit at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Real freedom is reciprocal. Wealth and ownership expand a person's power to make consequential decisions, and for Hannah that increases obligation rather than removing it. Perfect for founders weighing a sale, would-be buyers who assume the buy side is not for them, and advisors who want the deals they work on to protect more than price.

I can remember clearly going into the Canberra Scout Store as a teenager with a parent and purchasing my first real tent (nylon) and external frame aluminium and nylon pack for an upcoming week long trip. These days we have no end of purchasing options from nationally branded stores and well known standalone specialists. In addition over the past couple of years in particular we are seeing international branded stores entering the retail market including The North Face, Arcteryx, and Patagonia. These stores have come into existence for two main reasons. In this podcast episode we discuss the rise of outdoor gear as a fashion item and this means for the industry. www.australianhiker.com.au   Australian Hiker can also be found on our various social media platforms Australian Hiker Facebook Australian Hiker Instagram Australian Hiker Threads Australian Hiker Vimeo Australian Hiker Youtube

Doing the right things, for the right reasons.  Capitalism with a conscience, from Chocolate Wars to B Corporations like Patagonia.  The historic impacts of Quakers and the extraordinary story of Christopher after a journey on the London Underground.  The joy of everyday kindness.

“I look back on that moment as the single most important moment of my life.” Quite a thing to say about the day you died. On December 21, 2012, Greg Long suffered a three-wave hold-down at Cortez Bank and clinically drowned. Greg was wearing the first iteration of the flotation vest developed by Shane Dorian and Billabong. He yanked the trigger, but it didn't inflate. He tried again. And again. Nothing. No air came. The vest was faulty. His team found him, and he was brought back from the brink. The vest emerged around 2012, as paddle surfing began pushing into territory that had previously been reserved for tow surfing. Sion Milosky's death made the risks harder to dismiss. If the pursuit was going to continue, they needed a way out when things went bad. Greg eventually began working with Patagonia. After years of R&D, they released the first PSI vest to the public in 2017. Nobody has drowned while wearing one. Now, nearly a decade later, they're releasing its second iteration. Alongside the new vest, Patagonia and Stab are releasing Inflation Point, coming soon to Stab Premium. Greg joins us at the desk to talk about the new film, the experience of drowning, the importance of safety, and the paradox of the PSI vest: the safer you make something, the more tempting it can become to push further. Greg says more people are paddling out underprepared, convinced they're harder to kill than they are, with the vest as a kind of guardian angel. It was never meant to be used that way. We also hear from fellow big-wave surfer Izzi Gomez, who recently released Chrysalis, a film about her own journey with big-wave surfing and mental health. Thanks to our partners at Red Bull, Dome Dust, TurtleBox, Visit Dominican Republic, Devium, Yucca Fins, Roark and Vaer for making StabMic possible.

Ask Us A Question!Put Kelly Galloup and Charlie Craven in the same room, give them a few decades of experience in flyfishing to draw from, and there's no shortage of opinions. In this episode of Waypoints, two of the sport's most recognizable fly tyers, shop owners, teachers, personalities - and longtime friends - sit down for a wide-ranging and candid conversation about the current state of flyfishing. Rather than revisiting familiar biographies or diving into how-to tying techniques, Kelly and Charlie tackle the bigger questions: What has gotten better in flyfishing? What have we lost? What worries them about the future? And after spending most of their adult lives in this business, what have they learned along the way?The conversation covers the changing role of the independent fly shop, social media and the rise of the “flyfishing influencer,” conservation and access, industry economics, changing generations of anglers, and whether all the information and specialized gear available today are actually making us better fishermen. They also dig into the evolution of innovation in fly tying, the responsibility the industry has to protect fisheries, and what the next generation needs to get right. Along the way, Kelly and Charlie trade plenty of opinions, give each other a hard time, and reflect on what they hope their own contributions to flyfishing will ultimately be. It's a funny, thoughtful, occasionally irreverent conversation between two guys who have spent a lifetime inside the sport ... and who have earned the right to have a few opinions about where it's going.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions. The work is the guide, and Patagonia never tires of exploring, learning and improving. For the past two years, the Yellow Dog Flyfishing travel team has worked closely with Patagonia to test and refine the all-new Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots II in destinations ranging from New Zealand to the Seychelles. Featured throughout the Yellow Dog Field Reports series, these boots have become the go to choice for our team thanks to their Vibram® Megagrip soles, durable quick drying construction, speed to get on and off, and support built for both freshwater and saltwater environments.- Follow us on Instagram- Follow us on Facebook- Check out our YouTube Page- View the official Yellow Dog w...

Bernadette's most vulnerable talk yet started with a mistake she made on stage. Instead of burying it, she built an entire keynote around what opens up right after the "oh crap" moment. This episode walks through the CRAP Method, her framework for recovering out loud instead of performing your way past a mistake, and makes the case that perfectionism has never actually built trust on any team.Takeaways:Perfectionism isn't a flex. It never built trust on a team. Authenticity does.CRAP stands for something real: compassion, regulation, authenticity, and play, in that order.Recovery is a skill, not an instinct. Most of us were only ever taught to hide mistakes, not recover from them out loud.The reflection to sit with: what would change if your team saw you recover instead of just watching you perform?Connect with MeThe Newsletter: This week in the newsletter, I wrote about Patagonia turning voting into a team sport, a boxing gym that actually listened, grief getting time off in Britain, and more. http://www.theequalityinstitute.com/5-thingsWork with Me: https://www.bernadettesmith.comWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bernadettesmith Join thousands of readers by subscribing to the 5 Things newsletter.

En el marco de la carrera global por instalar cada vez más capacidad de cómputo para alimentar la inteligencia artificial, las grandes empresas tecnológicas planean instalan centros de datos en la Patagonia argentina. Esta región del sur del país cuenta con condiciones favorables para los data centers que, sin embargo, son cuestionados por sus impactos ambientales. Fue a través de un simple video con tono neutro, que Sam Altman, director de Open IA, la casa madre de ChatGPT, anunció en octubre de 2025 una inversión de 25 mil millones de dólares para construir centro de datos de gran escala en la Patagonia argentina. Open IA, no es la única empresa desarrolladora de inteligencia artificial que mira hacia esta vasta región del sur del país. De momento, Argentina solo cuenta con 13 centros de datos con una potencia de 32 megavatios. Pero grandes empresas como Open AI, Flex Doms, Green Capital o Tesla planean invertir miles de millones de dólares para instalar centros de datos de cientos de megavatios de capacidad eléctrica en las provincias de Chubut, Neuquén y también en Mendoza. Mientras en Estados Unidos, en Europa o México, crece el descontento por los impactos ambientales negativos que dejan los centros de datos que consumen cantidades enormes de energía y de agua, el presidente ultraliberal Javier Milei, busca inversiones extranjeras mediante regímenes impositivos preferenciales. Su gobierno estimula en particular la instalación de centros de datos "hyperscale" de gran escala que se multiplican en el mundo para responder al boom de la inteligencia artificial, con impactos a veces desastrosos para los recursos hídricos, canalizados para enfriar los servidores. ¿Por qué las empresas tecnológicas ven en estas mesetas de la Patagonia un paisaje ideal para instalar sus inmensos servidores informáticos? Esta semana en Vida en el planeta, conversamos Pía Mariani, directora adjunta de la Fundación Ambiente y Recursos Naturales Farn, una ONG medio ambiental argentina.

Wat als je bedrijf niet van aandeelhouders is, maar van zichzelf? Steward ownership heet dat. Bedrijven als de Efteling, Patagonia, Bosch en Carlsberg zijn al op deze manier georganiseerd en inmiddels zijn er ook steeds meer voorbeelden van mkb'ers die voor dit model kiezen.Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Hoe je zeggenschap en winst loskoppelt, zodat de missie van je bedrijf voor altijd geborgd is☑️ Toon Weijenborg verkocht zijn camping niet aan een grote keten, maar aan een stichting☑️ Kapitaal ophalen zonder stemrecht weg te gevenJe hebt jarenlang gebouwd aan je bedrijf en dan kloppen de kopers aan. Een grote keten of een investeringsfonds bijvoorbeeld. Maar wat gebeurt er daarna met je mensen, de klanten en je missie? Gijsbert Koren zag het als crowdfundingpionier keer op keer misgaan: goede bedoelingen die sneuvelden onder aandeelhoudersdruk. Dit ongemak werd de aanleiding voor We Are Stewards. Daarmee helpt hij ondernemers om zichzelf op een andere manier te organiseren.

Join us to celebrate our 300th episode! For anyone lucky enough to attend LambEx this year, Gus Balbontin was one of our favourite speakers. So, when he agreed to come on for our special 300th episode, we were beyond excited.The messages Gus shared during his talk have stuck with many. He challenged (and succeeded) in getting us to think differently and to question any long-standing assumptions we'd had. Gus grew up in sheep country in Patagonia before leaving Argentina at the age of 17 because of "a healthy disregard for the status quo". By 22, he'd dropped out of university, hitchhiked across South America, started his first business and landed his dream job at Lonely Planet, giving him a front-row seat to the disruption that came alongside the internet and ensuing technology boom. These days, Gus is an investor, founder, advisor, and speaker, working across startups, AI, robotics, 3D-printed wheelchairs, and climate technology. Gus doesn't claim to know exactly what the future will look like. Instead, he argues that we should be getting better at adapting to whatever comes next. He talks about why successful businesses and farms can become comfortable with systems that have worked for years, which is why disruption often looks ridiculous before it becomes obvious. His advice is to stop waiting for the future to become clear and start playing with it now. Try something unfamiliar. Follow a new idea down a rabbit hole. Make a small experiment. See what happens.We couldn't have asked for a better guest for our 300th episode. We hope this gives you a chance to think about staying relevant, challenging assumptions and being willing to rethink things that have worked well for a long time. Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited. We help livestock farmers get the most out of the genetics they farm with.

Episode OverviewGeorge Costa, manager of TCO Fly Shop in State College, Pennsylvania, returns to The Articulate Fly for another Central PA Fishing Report as the region shifts firmly into fall. Recent rain has pushed creeks across Central Pennsylvania's limestone country well above seasonal flows and off-color, but George reports everything is on the drop and should be fishable again this weekend, with cool water temperatures keeping trout active and comfortable. Fall hatch activity is picking up, with Isos (Isonychia), tan caddis and October caddis all showing well, and George notes a recent streamer bite that produced trout already colored up for fall. He and host Marvin Cash also flag a practical safety reminder: Pennsylvania's fall hunting seasons open October 1st, so anglers fishing shared public waters such as Spring Creek Canyon on state game lands should wear blaze orange. Away from the water, George runs down what's happening at TCO's shops heading into the off-season, including end-of-summer clearance pricing on Simms, Grundens and Patagonia gear, and a full slate of fall and winter fly tying and on-the-water classes across TCO's locations. Among the highlights is a class taught by Allen Rupp, Dave Whitlock's legacy tyer, covering streamer tying and the NearNuff Sculpin pattern. The conversation offers a quick, practical snapshot for anglers planning trips to Central Pennsylvania's limestone streams this fall: current conditions, what's hatching, where the fish are biting and how to gear up.Key TakeawaysHow to time a trip to Central PA limestone streams safely as high, off-color fall water drops back into shape this week.Why fall streamer fishing is heating up as cooling water temperatures push trout to feed aggressively ahead of the spawn.What to watch for on the hatch front, including Isos, tan caddis and October caddis activity as Central Pennsylvania moves deeper into fall.Why anglers should wear blaze orange on Pennsylvania state game lands like Spring Creek Canyon once hunting season opens October 1st.Techniques & Gear CoveredGeorge highlights a developing fall streamer bite on Central Pennsylvania's limestone streams, with trout already showing fall coloration as water temperatures cool. He also flags active Iso, tan caddis and October caddis hatch activity worth matching as conditions stabilize after recent high water. On the gear side, TCO Fly Shop is running end-of-summer clearance pricing on Simms, Grundens and Patagonia. TCO's fall and winter class schedule includes a streamer tying session and a NearNuff Sculpin class taught by Allen Rupp, Dave Whitlock's legacy tyer, alongside additional fly tying and on-the-water instruction across TCO's locations.Locations & SpeciesThis report centers on Central Pennsylvania's limestone stream country in and around State College, including public water on state game lands such as Spring Creek Canyon. Recent rain pushed local creeks well above seasonal flows and off-color, though George reports levels are dropping and the fishery should be fishable again this weekend. Trout are the focus of this fishery, and cooling water temperatures combined with fall hatch activity (Isos, tan caddis and October caddis) are setting up favorable conditions heading into peak fall streamer season. Anglers should expect high, off-color flows to continue to clear absent additional rain.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredAre Central Pennsylvania's limestone streams fishable right now?Yes, but use caution. Recent rain pushed creeks well above seasonal flows and off-color, but George Costa reports water levels are dropping and the fishery should be fishable again this weekend heading into the following few weeks.What fall hatches are active on Central PA streams right now?George reports good numbers of Isos (Isonychia), tan caddis and October caddis beginning to show, all typical fall hatch activity for late September into early October in Central Pennsylvania.Why is fall a good time for streamer fishing in Central PA?As water temperatures cool, trout become more aggressive and begin coloring up ahead of the fall spawn. George reports a recent streamer bite already producing colored-up fish, with more good streamer water expected over the next few weeks.Why should anglers wear orange on Pennsylvania state game lands this time of year?Pennsylvania's fall hunting seasons, including deer and pheasant seasons, open October 1st. Anglers fishing shared public water such as Spring Creek Canyon should wear blaze orange to stay visible to hunters using the same game lands.Where can anglers find fall and winter fly tying classes near State College, PA?TCO Fly Shop runs a full schedule of tying and on-the-water classes at its State College shop, including a streamer class and a NearNuff Sculpin class taught by Allen Rupp, Dave Whitlock's legacy tyer.

Matt Slayer sits down with Tiffani Time for a wildly meandering, hilariously unfiltered episode that moves from hiking shoes and road trip snacks to international travel,  industry realities. . Tiffani shares how her love of hiking evolved into a lifestyle-driven YouTube presence, why filming her adventures helps preserve memories from places like Iceland, Patagonia, Scotland, France, and the Dolomites, and how mountain towns often beat major cities for her ideal getaway. The conversation turns into a full-on travel philosophy debate as Matt champions cities, pubs, public transit, and local food scenes, while Tiffani makes the case for rental cars, remote trails, glacier views, and charcuterie at the top of a mountain. They swap stories about LA scams, Amsterdam plans, Spanish ham, Chicago pizza, Jersey Italian food, and the eternal disappointment of tourist traps. Things also get personal as Tiffani opens up about her attachment to her cat Zelda, her spiritual side, staying open to new ideas, and learning to appreciate the present rather than constantly chasing what's next. Matt and Tiffani also dig into the shifting  industry landscape, creator autonomy, conventions, testing standards, marketing, censorship, and how performers navigate being their own production companies. And yes, in true And Now We Drink fashion, the episode eventually barrels into concepts that can't be printed here , and the kind of absurd business ideas that could only happen on this show.

Dean Carter (Best-Selling Author, 4x CHRO, & CEO of Instill)  joined us on The Modern People Leader. We talked about the career pivots that shaped his life, what Patagonia taught him about purpose and play, and why trusting your gut, taking big swings, and doing the right thing can lead you somewhere better than the plan you originally had.----  Sponsor Links:

You don't have to build the biggest business. You have to build the right one. Kyle has spent nearly 30 years proving that. He built a career around fishing, adventure, travel, and some of the most remote places on the planet. He moved to Alaska without much of a plan, built his reputation as a guide and operator, traveled throughout Patagonia selling experiences he knew firsthand, started over more than once, and eventually found his way to leading Aleutian Adventures. And he did it without giving up the reason he chose this path in the first place. In this episode of Kenversations, Ken Okonek and Kyle Kolodziejski get into what it actually looks like to build a business around what you value. They talk about betting on yourself, taking calculated risks, hiring for character over credentials, controlling the things you can control, earning customer trust, and recognizing that more growth isn't always better growth. That last one is a big part of how Kyle runs Aleutian Adventures today. They already have demand. They already have waitlists. They could market harder and reach more people. They intentionally choose not to. Instead, the focus is on attracting the right people, protecting the experience, respecting the land and fisheries, and making sure growth doesn't destroy the exact thing people are coming to experience. Kyle also shares why some of the hardest moments in his life led to his biggest pivots, how being stranded in Argentina during COVID changed his path, and why he believes following passion instead of money has ultimately created a pretty rich life. And as AI and technology take up more of our lives, Ken and Kyle get into something that may become even more valuable: Places where you can actually get away from all of it. This one is about business, but it's also about having the guts to build a life that actually looks like yours. Subscribe to Kenversations for more conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, and people willing to do things differently. In This Episode: Kyle and Ken dig into building a career around adventure, taking calculated risks, hiring for character instead of technical skills, the business behind world-class outdoor experiences, building trust with customers, responsible marketing, intentional growth, protecting Alaska's wilderness, and why unplugged experiences could become even more valuable in an increasingly digital world.

Where should you actually retire abroad? Maybe you should stop vacationing there first.Seven days of hotels, restaurants, sightseeing and cocktails tells you whether you like a vacation destination. It doesn't tell you whether you'd enjoy buying groceries, finding a doctor, navigating public transportation and doing absolutely nothing on a Saturday there.And it definitely doesn't tell you what it feels like to live there as a gay person when Pride isn't happening.In this episode of Queer Money®, we're ranking the 5 best gay-friendly countries for slow travel, especially for Americans who may secretly be test-driving their future retirement.We started with more than 40 countries recommended by experienced slow travelers and put them through the Queer Money Slow Travel Test: LGBTQ+ friendliness, staying power, ease of everyday life, healthcare access and the ability to experience multiple potential retirement lifestyles.And our #2 country surprised even us.

Fitz Cahall is the creator of the legendary outdoor podcast The Dirtbag Diaries, co-founder of the creative agency Duct Tape Then Beer, and author of the excellent book States of Adventure. But most recently, he's gone from prolific creative mind to public lands advocate with the launch of Save Public Lands, a campaign that gives public land lovers of all stripes, from climbers to hunters, a way to go on the offense against the ongoing attacks on our public lands. The goal is a million signatures on a short letter with three clear demands: no more sell-offs, no more giveaways to foreign companies and billionaires, and no more backroom deals. Those signatures get delivered to DC and statehouses around Public Lands Day on September 26th. Partners include Outdoor Alliance, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, MeatEater, The Conservation Alliance, and The Wilderness Society. Fitz got his start in the mid-2000s scraping by as a freelance journalist, a job he refers to as "naked subsistence hunting." In 2007, he took a few stories that hadn't sold and turned them into a podcast. He emailed it to 30 friends. The next day 30 people had listened, then 300, then 3,000. Nearly 20 years later, he and his wife and creative partner Becca have built Duct Tape Then Beer into a story studio behind award-winning films and podcasts, all guided by one rule: the work has to strengthen people's connections to the natural world and to each other. We talked about how Save Public Lands came together, why Fitz chose offense over defense, and how a coalition this politically diverse—hunters, climbers, skiers, veterans, and legacy conservation groups—managed to find common ground and rally around a shared goal. Then we lightened it up and got into his creative life, including why he treats creative work like a band rather than a solo act, how he and Becca avoided chasing money for its own sake, what he does when his enthusiasm dips, and why he believes doubt and optimism are far more powerful together than either one alone. It's worth noting I consider Fitz a role model in a lot of ways, and I don't think Mountain & Prairie would exist without his example. I've been listening to The Dirtbag Diaries since the days when you had to download podcasts onto your computer, load them onto your iPod, then plug the iPod into the tape deck in your truck to listen. That's exactly what I was doing back then, driving around trying to sell real estate, and those stories cracked open a whole way of living and working that I didn't know was available to me. So thank you, Fitz, for all of it. There's a link below to sign the letter. It takes about 20 seconds, so there's no excuse not to do it. I loved this conversation, and I hope you enjoy. --- SAVE PUBLIC LANDS – Sign the Letter!

Ask Us A Question!Few people are as deeply connected to a river, a landscape, and a community as Darren Calhoun. A lifelong resident of Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation, Darren is an enrolled member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe, a descendant of the Eastern Shoshone, and someone whose family roots in the region stretch back generations. For more than three decades, he has worked as a guide, outfitter, business owner, conservationist, and advocate for the Wind River and the people who call it home. In this episode of Waypoints, we sit down with Darren to talk about growing up on the reservation, building Wind River Canyon Whitewater & Fly Fishing with his father, Pete, and the unlikely path that also led him to earn a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.But at its heart, this conversation is about something bigger than fishing. Darren has built his life and business around a remarkably simple philosophy: protect the resource first. We talk about his decision to intentionally limit guided fishing in the Wind River Canyon, the responsibilities outfitters have to the waters that sustain their livelihoods, and what the broader flyfishing world can learn from the conservation traditions and resource management of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes. Darren also talks about the evolution of the Wind River Canyon Lodge, his new fly shop in Thermopolis, and what more than 30 years on the same river have taught him about stewardship, restraint, and leaving special places better than we found them. It's a thoughtful conversation with someone who has spent a lifetime proving that sometimes the best way to build something is knowing when not to grow.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions. The work is the guide, and Patagonia never tires of exploring, learning and improving. For the past two years, the Yellow Dog Flyfishing travel team has worked closely with Patagonia to test and refine the all-new Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots II in destinations ranging from New Zealand to the Seychelles. Featured throughout the Yellow Dog Field Reports series, these boots have become the go to choice for our team thanks to their Vibram® Megagrip soles, durable quick drying construction, speed to get on and off, and support built for both freshwater and saltwater environments.- Follow us on Instagram- Follow us on Facebook- Check out our YouTube Page- View the official Yellow Dog w...

Diego Borgo helped bring Adidas into the NFT and metaverse world during one of the wildest moments in crypto history.In this episode, Diego takes us behind the scenes of Adidas' move into Web3 and reflects on whether the NFT boom was a failed experiment, a successful one, or simply too early.We also dive deep into branding and storytelling: why great products aren't enough, what tech founders get wrong when explaining what they build, and how brands like Patagonia, Salesforce and Tesla create stories people want to become part of.But the conversation eventually becomes much more personal. Diego opens up about faith, fatherhood, hope, leaving security behind, and the importance of showing your kids what's possible.He also shares the story of the wall of images he created during one of the hardest periods of his life — pictures representing the future he wanted — and what happened when he looked back years later and realized he was living it.

Con pocas provisiones, el hambre era un compañero constante.En: With few provisions, hunger was a constant companion.Es: A veces, debían desviar su camino para evitar grupos hostiles de sobrevivientes, que habían elegido mantenerse en la anarquía en lugar de buscar comunidad.En: Sometimes, they had to divert their path to avoid hostile groups of survivors who had chosen to remain in anarchy instead of seeking community.Es: Una mañana, mientras el rocío cubría el suelo, Andrés sugirió un atajo.En: One morning, while dew covered the ground, Andrés suggested a shortcut.Es: Dijo que había una ruta más corta a través de un antiguo bosque que recortaría el viaje por varios días.En: He said there was a shorter route through an ancient forest that would cut several days off the journey.Es: Santiago dudaba.En: Santiago hesitated.Es: El bosque era conocido por sus peligros.En: The forest was known for its dangers.Es: Sin embargo, la creciente necesidad de llegar al refugio lo hizo ceder.En: However, the growing need to reach the refuge made him relent.Es: La ruta elegida pronto reveló sus desafíos.En: The chosen route soon revealed its challenges.Es: Ramas caídas y caminos estrechos dificultaban el avance.En: Fallen branches and narrow paths made progress difficult.Es: De repente, el cielo se oscureció más, y una feroz tormenta se desató sobre ellos.En: Suddenly, the

otro grupo de sobrevivientes.En: There, against all odds, they found another group of survivors.Es: Sus intenciones eran ambiguas al principio.En: Their intentions were ambiguous at first.Es: Santiago

to light a fire, providing a respite from the tempest and the cold.Es: Santiago, por primera vez en mucho tiempo, sintió un atisbo de esperanza.En: Santiago, for the first time in a long while, felt a glimmer of hope.Es: Al día siguiente, la tormenta había pasado, y juntos, los dos grupos continuaron el viaje.En: The next day, the storm had passed, and together, the two groups continued the journey.Es: Había algo nuevo en Santiago, una sensación de familia no solo con Lucía y Andrés, sino también con estos nuevos compañeros.En: There was something new in Santiago, a sense of family not only with Lucía and Andrés, but also with these new companions.Es: Al fin, después de días de travesía y desafíos, el refugio apareció a la distancia.En: Finally, after days of travel and challenges, the refuge appeared in the distance.Es: Era un asentamiento protegido, un soplo de vida en medio del desierto patagónico.En: It was a protected settlement, a breath of life in the midst of the Patagonian desert.Es: Al cruzar las puertas, Santiago sintió que una parte del peso que cargaba comenzaba a disiparse.En: As he crossed the gates, Santiago felt that part of the weight he carried began to dissipate.Es: Entraron al refugio, y aunque las cicatrices de la pérdida aún estaban allí, Santiago encontró en sus nuevos amigos una comprensión y un perdón.En: They entered the refuge, and although the scars of loss were still there, Santiago found in his new friends understanding and forgiveness.Es: Aprendió que el camino hacia la redención era largo y, a veces, incierto, pero había valido cada paso.En: He learned that the path to redemption was long and sometimes uncertain, but it had been worth every step.Es: Esta nueva familia le enseñó que la esperanza no estaba en un destino final, sino en el viaje y en aquellos con quienes lo compartimos.En: This new family taught him that hope was not in a final destination, but in the journey and in those we share it with.Es: Y así, mientras la primavera empezaba a florecer incluso en las tierras más desoladas, Santiago comenzó a sanar, paso a paso.En: And so, as spring began to bloom even in the most desolate lands, Santiago began to heal, step by step.

Responsible innovation works best when it creates products people genuinely prefer, not when it asks them to accept a compromise.Rokas Peciulaitis, Founder and Managing Partner at Contrarian Ventures, argues that better products, longer lifecycles and stronger customer loyalty can make responsibility a competitive advantage. Using examples from Vinted, Patagonia and Mako, Rokas explores how founders can build companies around durability, reuse and purpose, and why he believes every euro spent is effectively a vote for the kind of future we want to create. HighlightsWhy “climate change” may be the wrong framingWhy responsible innovation has to win on productWhat Vinted, Patagonia and Mako get rightHow purpose can become a long-term moatWhy every euro spent is a voteTimestamps(01:00) The Titanic metaphor and why climate action is too slow(03:00) Why “climate change” may be the wrong framing(05:00) Why builders matter more than waiting for policy(07:00) Mako: giving materials another life(08:00) Vinted and making secondhand mainstream(09:20) Patagonia and killing a bestselling product(11:00) What responsible companies have in common(12:00) Why every euro spent is a vote(12:40) The climate worsens by default, but gets better by choiceThis session was recorded at the Love Tomorrow Summit, where EUVC curated the investor-focused programme.

What do you do when your father leaves behind an unfinished novel—and your father happens to be one of the most beloved and prolific storytellers in American literature? Do you finish it? And if you do, how do you make it his story while also making it your own? That's the fascinating challenge Beau L'Amour faced with Skyring Water, a new novel based on a partial manuscript by his late father, legendary author Louis L'Amour. The story takes us to 1961, when the Cold War is reaching a dangerous point. The Berlin Wall is dividing East and West. Nuclear tensions are escalating. Empires are crumbling. And then, in Barcelona, a rogue East German STASI officer sets off a chain of events involving struggling arms dealers, organized crime, intelligence agencies—and 30 tons of stolen gold hidden in an icebound wilderness at the end of the world. At the center are Mike Fowler, a former Navy salvage diver and OSS assassin, and Anton Voss, an expatriate German scientist whose mysterious past becomes increasingly dangerous. Once enemies, they've become inseparable friends. But when Mike discovers Anton standing over a midnight visitor with a gun, everything changes. Soon they're running from gangsters, the CIA, Israeli intelligence, and a mysterious organization intent on building an invisible empire. The trail stretches from Marseille to Caracas to Patagonia—and eventually leads straight into Anton's Nazi past. Today, I'm joined by Beau L'Amour to talk about Skyring Water, the extraordinary process of completing a story his father began, and what it means to collaborate with a writer who has been gone for years—but whose voice remains unmistakable.

With their excellent sense of smell, pigs are renowned for sniffing out truffles, a fungus that grows underground and is prized for its taste. But it turns out that some bird species can also find their way to a truffle treat. Researchers working in the Patagonia region of Chile had noticed truffles with little beak-sized bite marks, and even watched a bird eat a truffle. They found truffle DNA in the birds' droppings, suggesting that truffles are a staple of the birds' diet. Some of the fungi species eaten by the Patagonian birds look like berries that grow locally, which might help birds see them better. Listen to this show in Spanish here.

✨ "It's not that I gave up. I switched." – Carolina Lockwood Carolina Lockwood joins Rupert Isaacson from Bariloche, in the Patagonia region of Argentina, where she has spent more than 30 years building equine-assisted work from the ground up — first blending art therapy with horses, then training directly with Rupert in Texas, then running an intensive Horse Boy–style program, then coaching, and now facilitating horse-based energy healing.What makes Carolina's story distinctive is the environment she's built it in. In the areas around Bariloche, horse theft for meat is a real and recurring danger — over the years Carolina has lost five horses to thieves, including cases where stolen horses were found slaughtered. She talks candidly about tracking horses down with the police, the informal social protections that eventually stabilized her herd's safety, and the anxiety that never fully goes away even after 30 years without an incident.The conversation traces her full arc: building a team of six staff and 30 kids a week at the height of her program, learning to read burnout in both horses and herself, closing that chapter deliberately rather than abandoning the work altogether, and evolving into equine coaching (trained through Kathy Pike and the Linda Kohanov lineage), liberty work (with Jean-François Pignon and Celeste Solzenne), and now a year-plus training in horse-facilitated energy healing with Saskia Marroquin of Caballo Cósmico. Along the way, Rupert and Carolina dig into what "energy work" actually means in practical terms, and why practitioners shouldn't feel locked into one rigid model for life.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Paul Pritchard is one of the most significant figures in British climbing. He became one of Britain's leading rock climbers and mountaineers, with major first ascents across the UK, Patagonia, Baffin Island, Yosemite, Kyrgyzstan and the Karakoram. His first ascent of the West Face of Mount Asgard in 1994 remains one of his defining achievements.He was also the first author to have won the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature twice — for Deep Play, and later, The Totem Pole.In 1998, everything changed.While climbing Tasmania's Totem Pole, Paul was struck in the head by a falling rock, sustaining a near-fatal brain injury that left him with hemiplegia. He spent the next year in hospital and has described the decades since as his longest project: healing, adapting, and learning to live one moment at a time.And yet today, Paul says he gives thanks to the Totem Pole every morning.This is not simply a comeback story. It's a conversation about mortality, fear, acceptance, freedom, identity, and what happens when the life you expected disappears.We talk about why losing choices can sometimes make us freer, why fear doesn't need to disappear before we act, how aging changes the need to prove ourselves, and Paul's idea of the “dignity of risk.”If none of us knows how much time we have, what are we still postponing?REFERENCESPaul's excellent books:: Deep Play | The Totem Pole | The Longest Climb | The Mountain Path on his website at https://www.paulpritchard.com.au/booksPaul's Instagram: @paulpritchard

This week Clint and Dawson sit down with Beth Thomas. Beth grew up in Brownstown, a small town in southern Indiana. She went to IU undergrad, and IU school of Dentistry. She practiced dentistry for 14 years, during which time, her main hobby was training for long-distance triathlons. Not anticipating the dissolution of her business partnership, Beth opted for early retirement instead of starting a new dental practice. She sold everything she owned, invested it, and headed out on the road taking advantage of this unexpected freedom. One adventure simply led to the next. Beth's list of adventures are long and worldwide. This show we discuss her bikepacking trip through Patagonia down the famous The famous 700-mile gravel tour in South America referred to as the Carretera Austral (Route 7) in Chilean Patagonia. This legendary stretch of highway starts in Puerto Monttand winds south to Villa O'Higgins, taking cyclists through one of the most rugged, windswept, and pristine landscapes on earth.

In this episode, we sit down with Jamie Hanna, Amy Snitko, Chaseline Waldrup, and Bella Orr from Knox Girls Who Fly Fish to talk about what it takes to build a fly fishing community from the ground up. In less than a year, the group has grown from a handful of women fishing together to a thriving community with regular meetups, fishing days, an active social media presence, and a growing email list.We talk about the practical things that have helped them grow, including social media, word of mouth, local fly shop support, and creating events where people feel comfortable showing up even if they've never picked up a fly rod. We also get into fishing techniques, favorite waters, dream trips, local food stops, and a few painful stories about the fish that got away.Key Highlights:Social media and word of mouth helped Knox Girls Who Fly Fish grow quickly while keeping the community personal and welcoming.Local fly shops have played a big part in connecting women with the group, hosting events, providing speakers, and helping spread the word.Meetups aren't always about fishing. Fly box nights, brewery gatherings, speakers, food, and casual conversations give new anglers an easier way to get involved.Creating a comfortable place to ask questions helps remove some of the intimidation that can come with learning fly fishing.Dry-dropper rigs are a group favorite, with plenty of discussion about changing fly size, tippet length, leader setup, and experimenting until you find what works.Bow-and-arrow casting, Euro nymphing, and Tenkara all make an appearance as the group shares some of the techniques they enjoy using on East Tennessee waters.The conversation travels from small plunge pools in the Smokies to tailwaters like the Clinch and Hiwassee, along with dream fishing destinations including New Zealand, Patagonia, Belize, Italy, and Alaska.We finish with local places to eat after a day on the water and stories about big trout that came painfully close to the net.Whether you're thinking about starting a fly fishing club, trying to breathe some new life into an existing group, or simply looking for more people to fish with, there are plenty of ideas here worth borrowing.Share this episode with your fishing partners and anyone interested in building a stronger fly fishing community.

Ask Us A Question!Over the past two decades, film has fundamentally changed the world of flyfishing. It has introduced anglers to far-off destinations, inspired countless adventures, elevated conservation issues, created new fishing heroes, and transformed the way we see and experience the sport. From 1992's A River Runs Through It, to the early days of The Drake Video Awards and the Fly Fishing Film Tour, and now to YouTube, social media, and an endless stream of digital content, moving images have become one of the most powerful forces shaping modern flyfishing. Few people have had a better front-row seat to that evolution than filmmaker Chris Patterson.In this episode of Waypoints, Jim sits down with his longtime friend, traveling partner, and Confluence Films co-founder to explore the stories behind the stories — and the incredible career that shaped Chris as a filmmaker. From three decades shooting Warren Miller ski films and working on Hollywood productions like Inception, to creating the flyfishing classics Drift, Rise, Connect, Waypoints, and Providence, Chris has spent his career capturing people, places, and moments that make us want to explore. Together, Jim and Chris look back at the rise of flyfishing film, the adventures and personalities that defined an era, and the profound impact film has had on the sport — for better and for worse. It's a conversation about adventure, creativity, conservation, changing technology, and ultimately the power of a great story to make us see flyfishing — and the world around us — a little differently.Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions. The work is the guide, and Patagonia never tires of exploring, learning and improving. For the past two years, the Yellow Dog Flyfishing travel team has worked closely with Patagonia to test and refine the all-new Patagonia River Salt Wading Boots II in destinations ranging from New Zealand to the Seychelles.

A few years ago, a black Patagonia vest or a Timbuktu messenger bag were a telltale sign that a person might be from the Bay Area. Now, you might look for an Oaklandish hoodie, a water bottle covered in outdoorsy stickers, a t-shirt advertising a non-alcoholic beer or a Tesla with an Elon disclaimer on the bumper. We'll dive into the objects and accessories that are hella Bay Area and just how they became so ubiquitous. And, we want to hear from you, what are the items that define the Bay Area for you?

What is the trout fishing like in Patagonia? Is it worth the time and expense? Is it truly the trip of a lifetime? And what should you expect on a trip to this magical place? Will you catch the biggest trout of your life? Is it really uncrowded? My guest this week is long-time lodge owner and guide Eduardo Barrueto [42:05] of Magic Waters in Chile, and he gives a great overview of what to expect on your first trout-fishing trip to Patagonia. In the Fly Box this week, we have some particularly interesting questions that I think will be of interest to many of you, including: How can I read the water, and what is the best depth for finding trout in a river? Should I use tippet rings for bonefish? I have trouble with my knots when making fluorocarbon leaders for bass. What do you suggest? Should I be setting the hook more often when indicator nymphing? Is it true that New England fly fishers work a stream more rapidly? How long should I stay in one spot? How do I keep my foam bodies on dry flies from wrapping around the hook shank? I have high grass along the banks of my favorite stream. Would I be better with a Tenkara rod or a Euro rod? Is there really a difference between the various natural furs for fly tying? Can I substitute? Is it possible to build a fly rod with an interchangeable section that transforms a 9-foot rod to a 10-footer? What are the pros and cons of using a rope fly for gar?
