Episode Five Is Here! Activating ADVOCACY — The Purpose, Belief, and Power to Move Brands Forward in Burke's Relevance + Momentum® Series. In our series finale, hosts ⁠⁠⁠⁠Jeremy Cochran, PsyD⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠KelseySchmeckpeper⁠⁠⁠⁠ turn to ADVOCACY, the dimension of Relevance + Momentum® that reflects what brands stand for, how clearly they express their beliefs, and whether consumers see them taking meaningful action. Advocacy isn't about politics or performative messaging. It's about conviction, consistency, and credibility. Jeremy and Kelsey explore how brands earn trust by aligning belief with behavior, and what happens when that alignment breaks down.You'll learn: ➡️ What Advocacy means in the Relevance + Momentum® framework➡️ The two signals that define Advocacy: clear beliefs and visible action➡️ Why brands like Patagonia and Dove set the standard for authentic advocacy➡️ How inconsistency can erode trust, with lessons from Target's evolving advocacy story➡️ Six best practices for building advocacy that strengthen both brand and business From emotional capital and employee pride to long-term loyalty and resilience, this episode shows how Advocacy turns purpose into momentum, and why the brands that lead tomorrow will be the ones that stand for something today.For more information on how you can leverage the Relevance + Momentum® framework to move your brand forward, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Burke's ⁠⁠⁠Brand Strategy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Thanks for listening!

President's Day Weekend 2025 started like any other legendary Colorado ski day: fresh “pow,” bluebird vibes, and me—Skier Sof—feeling like the queen of Tucker Mountain. Copper locals know Tucker used to be snowcat- and hike-only, which gave it this mysterious backcountry allure. Now it's still expert terrain, but with lift access…and on Presidents Day, that means crowded.But hey, what's a little crowd when you're vibing on run #5, skiing powder next to Valentine's and Boulderado with a good friend, and life feels like a Patagonia commercial?Spoiler: It all goes downhill. Literally. And painfully.  The Scene: Fresh Powder, Bad Visibility, and One Very Unpredictable Skier (and no, the unpredictable skier was not me)My friend Ryan and I were shredding through some fantastic powder. We reached the bottom of Boulderado, where you have to cut hard left through a tree trail to avoid looping all the way back to the chair.Only two sketchy paths go through these trees. You need to keep up the speed, loosen your legs, and blast through bouncing along till you get to the chair. One dude was sitting in the absolute worst possible spot. Not moving. Not looking around. Not reading the room!I told Ryan, “Follow me, I'm going now!”And that's when the guy—out of nowhere—decides to stand up and slowly drift right into my line without looking uphill.PSA: ALWAYS look uphill before you move. Don't be a “Jerry.” Yield to the above skiers. These things matter.I tried to change my line to the lower track, but visibility was trash: I had my sun lenses on when I should have swapped to snow lenses (don't get lazy, ladies and gents!). I caught the top of a massive mogul, went flying, landed, but my feet were suddenly two feet apart—never a good sign when skiing trees.Then came mogul #2.The left leg slid down it.The right leg stayed at the top.My legs did a pretty epic split that nobody asked for.Cue: the pop of my ACL Fired off like a gunshot (I have the video to prove it). A full tear. I also partially tore my right MCL and my meniscus (just for funsies).  The Fall, the Flailing, and the Insta360 That Captured It AllI twisted, flew over the “do not cross” rope (10/10 do not recommend), and slammed into soft powder at the base of a tree. My left ski did NOT release—because my bindings weren't adjusted after losing weight—and my leg twisted way farther than human legs should.I screamed like an angry man who just lost a Mill in the stock market. It was not cute.Ryan came over the hill, saw me lying up with my heat against a tree, panicked, thinking I broke my neck or something like that, whipped off his snowboard, climbed down into the powder, and dug my buried leg out like a heroic golden retriever. “My Hero.” No, seriously, this guy is a great friend, especially since I just ruined his epic ski day. As I writhed in pain, I told him, “Find the camera,” because naturally that matters more… He found the Insta360.Another skier—who had literally followed my line earlier went to call ski patrol.Ski irony is alive and well.  Ski Patrol to the Rescue (Eventually)There's a patrol hut at the top of Tucker, but storms were rolling in, and it took about 45 minutes before they reached me. By then, I'd somehow crawled out of the trees (pain makes you feral) and tried to stand on that leg—nope.Once the full patrol team arrived, they loaded me into the rescue sled for the hour-long journey to Copper Mountain's Center Village. There were blizzard-like snow conditions that covered my face in about 5 minutes. It was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A full team of 5 was needed to get me out of the trees. They snowmobiled me up Copper Bowl and skied me down the front face of the mountain. At least I finally got to go snowmobiling!Crowds gasped like I was being transported post-avalanche. I could see nothing, and hear a whole lot, so I was desperately hoping no one T-boned the sled while the patrol kept yelling, “MOVE! LOOK UP! ON YOUR LEFT! YIELD!”It was like being royalty—if royalty were frozen, freaking out, and strapped to a tiny snow coffin. At least the ski patrol guy even kept checking on me to make sure I was still alive.  Diagnosis: Basically… Everything ToreUrgent Care X-rays said: “Good news, no broken bones!”MRI later said: “Bad news…everything else is broken.”Final injury roster:Full ACL tearPartial right MCL tearTorn meniscusMassive bone bruise on the left side of my kneeA whole lot of regret I stayed in Colorado for a month doing PT and trying to maintain dignity and not slip on the ice with crutches. Eventually, I flew home, got an MRI, and scheduled surgery for April 24.  ACL Surgery & the Recovery GrindSurgery went great, but recovery? OOF.Two weeks of sleeping in the braceCrutches for two monthsPT bending (which basically felt like they were breaking), my knee twice a weekPain meds (which my body hated), but I so needed because the pain was astronomicalAlmost fainted in PT twice because of the drugs and physical exhaustionI learned Advil was my friend after the first few weeks and ditched the nasty hydrocodoneLots of tears, lots of naps, lots of gratitude when I could A) not be in so much pain, B) get off the meds, C) walk again without crutches! By week six, pain finally chilled out, and the muscle-rebuilding process started. Every tiny improvement felt like winning Olympic gold. Its the little things in life.  What This Injury Taught Me (AKA: The Travel Brats Safety Sermon)1. People on the mountain are unpredictable.Even on expert runs, don't assume anyone knows what they're doing, or where they are going. And most likely they do not care about YIELDING!2. Altitude is no joke.Hydrate, acclimate, and don't push your body if you've been traveling or skiing hard and are feeling the fatigue from it.3. Train before ski trips.Strong quads save knees. Don't skip leg day. I repeat: don't skip leg day.4. Pace yourself.Take breaks. Take a day off on long trips. Ski easier runs when fatigue kicks in.5. Gear matters.Helmet alwaysProper lenses for conditionsRegular ski tuningCheck your bindings if your weight changes! 6. Ski with a buddy.Especially in trees, bowls, or sketchy conditions. My friend being there changed everything.7. Stay positive.This injury was rough. But it could've been so much worse. I'm grateful, healing, and counting the days until I'm back on snow—stronger, smarter, and maybe a little sassier.  Final Thoughts: Misadventure or Badge of Honor?At The Travel Brats, we believe travel isn't just beaches and cocktails—it's wipeouts, lessons learned, and stories that make you laugh later (like… much later).My ACL tear was painful, expensive, and humbling. But it taught me how resilient the human body (and spirit!) can be. And when I finally click back into my skis, I'll be ready—with sharpened edges, proper goggles, adjusted bindings, and a whole lot more patience for the unpredictable humans around me.Until then…Stay safe, stay adventurous, and ski smart, Brats. ❄️❤️⛷️

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Alan Dixon, better known in the backpacking world as Adventure Alan. Alan is a literal rocket scientist, a lifelong adventure junkie, and a foundational figure in the early days of ultralight backpacking, having co-founded Backpacking Light.  Alan shares some jaw dropping stories from his many routes, including a near-death experience in the Tetons, his philosophy for developing routes—most notably his popular Wind River High Route, the South Sierra High Route, and the Escalante Overland Route. We dig into how he's managed to bring his base weight down to as low as 2.4 lb., the small luxuries he now allows himself, some of his favorite cottage brands, and his overarching gear philosophies. We also talk about why he follows a ketogenic diet and how he maintains it on trail, his adventures with his wife of more than 20 years, and much more. We wrap the show with the triple crown of gifts for backpackers ($75 or less), a hill that we're willing to die on that everyone else thinks is ridiculous, some new AT stamps that have been out for a long time, and I talk fast.  Gossamer Gear: Check out the Type II collection at gossamergear.com.  [divider] Interview with Alan Dixon Adventure Alan Website Time stamps & Questions 00:02:00 - Reminders: Apply to vlog or blog for the Trek, apply to be a Trail Correspondent, subscribe to The Trek's Youtube, and listen to our episodes ad-free on Patreon! 00:06:49 - Introducing Alan 00:07:30 - So you're a rocket scientist? 00:10:55 - What did you do for the EPA? 00:17:13 - What are the top sources for toxicity in food? 00:23:00 - Are there any chemicals in the backpacking world you're skeptical of? 00:25:06 - What was your earliest mountaineering experience? 00:26:40 - Discussion about the current state of ultralight 00:29:45 - What ultralight products do you get? 00:31:40 - How did you get to a baseweight under 5 pounds? 00:39:30 - Do you recommend tracking your sleep? 00:44:55 - Why do you follow a keto diet? 00:49:52 - How do you maintain a keto diet on trail? 00;53:30 - Tell us about the early days of ultralight 00:58:50 - Why did you want to spread the gospel of ultralight? 01:03:20 - Discussion about the fiddle-factor 01:09:00 - What's your standard gear list now? 01:10:47 - Do you have practical tips for reducing fiddle time? 01:13:07 - Tell us about your trip in the Wind River Range 01:19:00 - Do you have a luxury item today? 01:20:04 - Tell us about selling your website 01:21:55 - What goes into designing a high route? 01:24:40 - Sell us on the Adventure Alan Wind River High Route 01:28:30 - Do you consider high routes to be more of a physical or intellectual challenge? 01:32:05 - Discussion about anxiety while hiking 01:34:45 - Tell us about adventuring with your wife 01:39:09 - Do you have any general marriage advice? 01:42:10 - How do you maintain your fitness into your 60s? 01:46:40 - Discussion about the definition of success 01:51:55 - What's something novel that you're excited about right now? 01:54:49 - Tell us about the Southern Sierra High Route 01:59:20 - Define "it goes" 02:00:05 - Tell us about the Escalante Overland Route 02:06:04 - Are you fully retired now? 02:07:00 - Discussion about fitness and training 02:09:50 - Tell us about the Southern Patagonia Ice Shelf 02:19:00 - Are you able to enjoy a regular trail? 02:22:10 - Tell us your near death experience in the Tetons 02:35:45 - Are you still making content?

Laverne Waddington discovered weaving by accident—bike accident, to be precise. Recuperating from a mountain biking crash in Utah, she discovered a book on Navajo weaving and was immediately intrigued. A local exhibit of Diné textiles enthralled her, and she set about learning to weave in the Navajo style. Returning to Patagonia, where she had been living, she built a simple loom and explored weaving on her own until it became clear that she would need to move north to satify her hunger for weaving knowledge, settling in Bolivia. Over the following decades, Laverne traveled in South and Central America, learning backstrap techniques from indigenous weavers. Her curiosity has led her to the Andean Highlands, Guatemala, and other regions to learn hand-manipulated and pick-up methods and patterns from skilled local weavers. Laverne loves to explore complex and intricate weaving styles, enjoying the way that each inch of warp and weft passes through her hands in a variety of pick-up techniques. Weaving on a backstrap loom, she sits inside each weaving project. Through videos, online classes, books, and ebooks, she teaches other weavers how to set up a backstrap loom for themselves and weave a variety of patterns. Teaching backstrap and pick-up techniques is as much a part of her practice as deepening her understanding of the weaving structures. In this episode, discover Laverne Waddington's passions and processes. Links Laverne has maintained a blog and weaving journal on her website (https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/) since 2009. Laverne's books (https://www.taprootvideo.com/instructorClasses.jsf?iid=3) are available from Taproot Video. Laverne offers a number of tutorials (https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/tutorials/) of techniques she practices as well as videos (https://backstrapweaving.wordpress.com/videos/) of a variety of weaving techniques and traditions.

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?

El salmón se ha convertido en el pescado estrella de la Navidad en todo el mundo y su producción global no deja de crecer. Chile es el segundo productor mundial de este pescado, solo por detrás de Noruega. Pero el auge de la industria salmonera tiene un alto coste medioambiental, según denuncian diversas ONG. Según un informe de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO, por sus siglas en inglés), en la primera mitad de 2025 la producción de salmón en Chile creció un 9,1 % con respecto al mismo período del año anterior. Se trata de uno de los principales productos no mineros que exporta el país, principalmente hacia Estados Unidos y Brasil, pero no ausente de críticas. En la Patagonia, el crecimiento de la industria de las granjas salmoneras está en el punto de mira de las ONG por su ubicación en zonas supuestamente protegidas, el abuso de antibióticos y su impacto medioambiental. “En Chile tenemos una real invasión de concesiones de la industria salmonicultura. Son más de 300 concesiones que están aprobadas. Estas instalaciones son realmente gigantescas, contaminan con diferentes tipos de materiales, como son tuberías plásticas, mallas que dejan abandonadas, estructuras metálicas y lo que nosotros hemos ido denunciando a lo largo de los años es que producen más del número que se les entrega para poder cumplir con medianamente un equilibrio ecológico en esta zona”, afirma a RFI La geógrafa de Greenpeace Chile, Silvana Espinoza. “Eso va generando mortalidades, residuos, o sea, acumulación de mayor materia orgánica. En el fondo, se va generando una secuencia de diferentes desequilibrios ecosistémicos que altera al resto de las poblaciones que tenemos en la Patagonia”, agrega. Greenpeace Chile tramitó hace un año las primeras querellas criminales contra la industria por la muerte de dos ballenas jorobadas en instalaciones salmoneras, según denuncia la ONG. La muerte de los dos cetáceos se habría producido en el interior del Parque Nacional San Rafael y de la Reserva Nacional Kawésqar, ambas áreas protegidas. “Estuvimos reunidos con el fiscal hace algunas semanas en Punta Arenas para poner a disposición nuevos antecedentes que nosotros hemos ido trabajando con los científicos y científicas de Greenpeace. Esto está en manos de ellos”, apunta Espinoza. “Esperamos tener una resolución pronto, porque en el fondo este año ya se cumplió un año de la tramitación de estas querellas, entonces nosotros también estamos a la espera de poder tener un resultado al respecto y que, por supuesto, quienes resulten responsables asuman esto frente a la ley”, concluye. Otras organizaciones, como Ecoceanos, denuncian la muerte de trabajadores en las granjas de salmón y las difíciles condiciones laborales de la industria.

Patagonia is worth billions. But founder Yvon Chouinard never wanted the title of billionaire. From his days as a dirtbag climber to his reluctant role as CEO, Chouinard built one of the world's most influential outdoor brands — then shocked the business world by giving it all away. Author David Gelles whose biography of Chouinard "Dirtbag Billionaire" is out now, joins The Excerpt to talk about Chouinard's unconventional life, his fight to align business with values, and what his legacy means for capitalism today.

Sobre los estilos de instalación como electo Presidente de Gabriel Boric y de José Antonio Kast; además del reciente hito histórico de conservación privada en la Patagonia chilena, Iván Valenzuela conversó con las editoras Paula Comandari y Paloma Ávila en una nueva edición del Rat Pack de Mesa Central.

By Fay Niewiadomski Today's leaders are faced with a multitude of disruptions, whether it's technological shifts from the acceleration of AI or global economic volatility brought on by events like the COVID-19 pandemic. In such a context, command-and-control styles of leadership reliant on predictable outcomes have become ineffective. Now is the time to reimagine leadership - redefining what intelligence looks like and how this distinguishes from simply 'knowledge'. How AI is redefining the future of leadership decisions How can leaders predict the unpredictable and lead effectively when they cannot see what's coming next? The answer lies in a powerful duality: establishing an unwavering strategic direction while empowering tactical discretion within clearly defined boundaries. This replaces predictability with transformative thinking, symbiosis with AI and new decision-making configurations. Transformation requires operational understanding: Human intelligence is the ability to understand context, use emotional intelligence and judgment of consequences to determine the best approach in specific situations. Intelligence is not to be confused with knowledge, the gathering and classification of facts, principles, theories and practices from various disciplines. Psychology Today describes "successful leaders as having high social intelligence, the ability to embrace change, inner resources such as self-awareness and self-mastery, and above all, the capacity to focus on the things that truly merit their attention." AI is not a substitute for human intelligence. AI is a tool to be used by humans for streamlining execution, accelerating decision making, empowering creativity and innovation and elevating team collaboration and impact. The examples below demonstrate human wisdom and good judgment. AI may or may not have been used as an accelerator or an enabler. Strategic Direction and "Red Lines" Strategic perspective is the destination. It is the "why" that exists beyond the immediate chaos. A specific quarterly goal like "increase sales by 10%," can be rendered meaningless by a sudden market crash. Strategic direction provides a filter for all decisions. "We need to remain both profitable and ethical within our industry", is an example of a non-negotiable pillar. In a crisis, a company guided by this might forgo a highly profitable but ethically dubious opportunity (e.g., price gouging during a shortage) because it violates a core "red line." Conversely, it might pursue an ethically sound but initially costly initiative (e.g., protecting employee health) because it aligns with being a sustainable and respected enterprise. Microsoft's Cloud-First Transformation When Satya Nadella took over as CEO in 2014, the tech landscape was uncertain. Microsoft's legacy Windows-centric model was under threat. Nadella didn't predict every new gadget or app; he established a new strategic direction: "to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more." More concretely, he bet the company on being a "cloud-first, mobile-first" provider. This strategic clarity meant divesting from businesses like Nokia that no longer fit this destination and making massive, unwavering investments in Azure cloud infrastructure. The destination was clear, even if the exact path to get there wasn't. Agile Tactical-Discretion If strategy is the destination, tactics are the daily choices of speed, direction, and route. In uncertainty, these must be agile, contextual, and often decentralized. Leaders cannot possibly have all the answers at the top. Instead, they must create boundaries within which their teams can make smart, rapid decisions. This means clearly communicating the "red lines" (what we never do) and the "guardrails" (the principles that guide what we should do). For a company like Patagonia, a red line might be "we will never source materials from suppliers that use forced labor." A guardrail might be "always prioritize product du...

Bob Breeden is a recreational backcountry Super Cub pilot that has been flaying for 38 years in Alaska and beyond. In this episode of the Coffee In A Hangar Podcast he shares how he has safely navigated the dangerous sport of off airport mountain flying. From landing on the moving surface of high mountain glaciers in Alaska to ridge lines in Patagonia and waterfalls in Iceland, he has done it all in a "sanitary" and safe way.

A larger than life figure in the creative world, Aaron Draplin has been designing everything from logos to posters since 1995. Few designers are as prolific as Aaron. He's the founder of Draplin Design Co. (DDC). Priding himself on craftsmanship and quality, the DDC has made stuff for Field Notes, Esquire, Nike, Red Wing, Burton Snowboards, Ford, and he's even designed a US stamp. Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/aaron-draplin We caught up with Aaron in person at The James Brand studio in Portland, Oregon, where he walked us through an origin story that begins with a meteor in Navajo country and winds through the skate parks of Michigan in the 80s, the snowboard culture of the 90s, and eventually to one of the most recognizable voices in American graphic design. But this isn't just a conversation about making cool stuff—though there's plenty of that. Aaron opens up about the work ethic he learned from his parents, and why being prolific isn't about perfection—it's about experimentation, and loving your work enough to show up every single day. We talk about collecting, organizing thousands of ideas, and what it means to run a design practice where you can still work on your own terms. And throughout it all, Aaron brings the humor, the heart, and the hard-won wisdom of someone who's never forgotten what it's like to work a crappy job—and who reminds himself every day just how cool a life in graphic design really is. Bio Aaron Draplin was born in Detroit in 1973 and raised in the small village of Central Lake in Northern Michigan—population 800. After a brief stint at Northwestern Michigan Community College, he moved west to Bend, Oregon at 19 to chase the snowboarding life, and started designing graphics for Solid Snowboards. To fund his winters, he worked summers as everything from a traveling fair pizza wagon cook, to a dishwasher in Anchorage, Alaska. He eventually returned to the Midwest to finish his design degree at Minneapolis College of Art and Design, before heading back west to become art director of Snowboarder Magazine in Southern California. In 2002, he moved to Portland to work as a senior designer at Cinco Design, where he worked on brands like Gravis, Helly Hansen, and Nixon. In 2004, Aaron founded Draplin Design Co., working with clients ranging from Nike and Patagonia to Sub Pop Records and the Obama Administration. In 2009, he co-founded Field Notes with Jim Coudal and Coudal Partners—a collaboration that would become one of the most successful and beloved stationery brands in America. That same year, he gave his first public talk, which spiraled into a speaking career that's now reached over 580 engagements worldwide. His book Pretty Much Everything was published by Abrams in 2016 and is now in its 13th printing. At 51, Aaron continues to run his fiercely independent design practice from a backyard shop in Portland, Oregon. *** This is a premium episode on Design Better.

Vitaliy is one of the most prolific and respected alpinists of his generation and has a reputation as a master of long, complex alpine objectives—including becoming the first person to complete The Goliath Traverse in the Eastern Sierra…which might be the longest ridge traverse in the western hemisphere…if not the world.. He's established more first ascents in the Eastern Sierra than any other person, authored a three-volume guidebook series to the Eastern Sierra, and spent years developing new routes around the world. He's summited all the peaks in the Fitz Skyline and only has one summit left to complete the Torre Skyline: the infamous Cerro Torre. Even with such an astounding list of achievements, Vitaliy's deep sense of empathy, humility, and curiosity keep him grounded, thoughtful, and heartfelt.Sean McLane is an American climber and alpinist with a knack for hard ice climbing. He blends curiosity, adventure, and a commitment to exploring terrain that few others pursue. One of his life goals is to complete Guy Lacelle's Favorite 135 Ice Climbs—a notorious list of iconic, hard, and bold routes. Sean has currently completed 71 of the 135 and soloed 61 of them. That's an insane amount of soloing on hard ice routes. Along with several other first ascents, Sean recently put up The Penitent Path, a 12-pitch M9 considered one of the longest routes at the grade in the U.S. Beyond his technical prowess, Sean is a deeply thoughtful and introspective human—and this is his first time ever sharing his story.We start with Sean's background and how he was introduced to climbing while living abroad in China. We then explore a deeply personal and traumatic story from Sean's past involving a tragic ice climbing accident that took the life of Meg O'Neill and left Sean with a broken back. We use this story to expand on grief and loss, and learn how Sean processed these deep emotions and reintroduced climbing into his life. We then pivot to Vitaliy's background—a wildly unique story checkered with unbelievable suffering, uncertainty, and struggle, but also resilience, empathy, grit, and growth. Next, we dive into Vitaliy and Sean's recent climbing trip to India—an adventure that tested their commitment, focus, determination, and humility. We then contrast their India trip with a wildly successful and spontaneous trip to Patagonia. Finally, we close by diving into deeper topics around work-life balance, the sacrifices we make for success, unmitigatable risk justification, the concepts of faith, luck and self-reliance, and mastery versus complacency.Watch The Climbing Majority on YoutubeGiveaway Details HERE---Thanks to our sponsors!LIVSN DesignsCheckout their Ecotrek Trail Pants HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for an extra 15% OFF Your OrderHot Chillys Performance Base LayersCheckout their Micro Elite Chamois Base Layer Systems HEREUse Code "TCM15" At Checkout for 15% OFF Your OrderGet Access to Exclusive Episodes, Unlock Ad-Free Podcast, & MORE!ResourcesThe Shooting Star ScholarshipGuy Lacelle's 135 Ice ClimbsVitaliy's IGSeans's IG

How is Spatial.ai mapping real retail demand?In this episode of Retail Retold, host Chris Ressa gets inside the mind of Lÿden Foust, the CEO and founder of Spatial.ai—the company turning real human behavior into a map retailers can actually use. If you think location strategy is still built on income bands and census data, this conversation flips that idea on its head.Foust explains how Persona Live Segmentation blends social signals, credit card trends, demographic nuance, and movement patterns to reveal who your customer really is—and where they live in the physical world. It's the engine behind brands like Patagonia and Lululemon choosing sites, growing market share, and targeting high-value segments others miss.Ressa and Foust dig into the elephant in the room: AI isn't spatial (yet). The technology can write decks and draw buildings, but it can't feel the difference between half a mile and a trade area boundary. The fundamentals still matter—and boots on the ground beat bots on the map.The two break down how value just overtook quality in consumer preference, why Dutch Bros is winning by going after unexpected segments, and how landlords can use psychographics to land better tenants and build smarter merchandising mixes.What You'll Hear:Why psychographic segmentation, not demographics, drives retail market shareHow Patagonia, Lululemon, and others use Persona Live Segmentation to find their best customersThe four data sources behind Spatial.ai's models: social, purchasing, demographics, movementWhy AI is not yet spatially aware enough to replace human site selectionWhat mobile data gets wrong and right about trade areasHow Dutch Bros disrupted the “crowded” coffee category by targeting unexpected segmentsWhy value is now outperforming quality in consumer decision-makingHow property owners can use psychographics to land the right anchor tenantWhere demographic trends are shifting: birth rates, immigration, Gen Z, and Gen AlphaThe surprising role of franchising as a growth engine for retail real estateChapters00:00 — Who Is Lÿden FoustChris introduces Lÿden and the origin story of Spatial.ai's Persona Live Segmentation platform.01:13 — Why Psychographics MatterLÿden explains why real behavior beats demographics when retailers choose locations.02:15 — The Data Behind Persona SegmentationSpatial.ai blends social signals, spending patterns, demographics, and movement to map customer segments.06:38 — Retailers Using It TodayPatagonia, Lululemon, and others use psychographics to find top customer groups and guide site selection.10:58 — AI's Limits in Real EstateChris and Lÿden debate why AI isn't spatial yet—and why human context still wins for site selection.12:41 — Mobile Data: Good and BadThey break down what mobile visitation data reveals, and where it misrepresents certain customer groups.14:27 — Building Trade Areas SmarterLÿden explains how mobile data reshaped trade area analysis and unlocked competitive insight.18:40 — Value Now Beats QualityThey explore why “value” just surpassed “quality” in consumer preference and what retailers should do about...

About The Guest:Ron Morehead has been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. He is an author, researcher, lecturer, experiencer, and producer of the Sierra Sounds. To date, he comes closer than any other researcher to having a complete body of evidence. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time-tested and accredited as genuine.Ron has documented his personal interactions with these giant beings and produced his story on a CD and also in a book, “Voices in the Wilderness.” In order to try and understand the enigmas associated with these giants, he began to delve into Quantum Physics for the scientific answers that he and his hunting friends experienced, and as a result he wrote another thought-provoking book,” The Quantum Bigfoot.” Ron now resides with his partner, Keri, in North Carolina, but has traveled from Alaska to Patagonia and from North America to Siberia in search of the truth to how these beings are able to stay so hidden from Classical science. Besides being the keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs and TV documentaries such as the Learning Channel and Travel Channel.WEBSITE: http://www.ronmorehead.com/

In this bonus episode Amy interviews dear friend, fellow podcaster, and talented author Kyle Thiermann all about his new book One Last Question Before You Go. Kyle shares everything from why we should all do this to strategies for interviewing and asking great questions that will not only change your connection to your parents, but also all of your relationships whether romantic, strictly platonic, or even in the professional world. This book will inspire you and change your life. Tune in to learn why. More about Kyle: An award-winning journalist, pro big wave surfer, and podcast host with over 400 episodes, Kyle Thiermann is curiosity in motion. His podcast guests include longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia, 3x Surfing World Champion Mick Fanning, and his own dad—where the idea for his first book began.  Blending witty narrative with practical advice, One Last Question Before You Go explores the art of interviewing our parents. As Thiermann writes, “Questions are invitations to see our parents in the present tense, and a declaration that we care about the wisdom of elders in a culture obsessed with youth.” Kyle has written for Outside, SURFER, and Discovery Channel, covering indigenous conflicts in Chile and exposing how Hawaii's wild pigs are killing coral. A cultural provocateur at heart, Kyle has spearheaded national advertising campaigns for cult brands including MUDWTR, Yeti, and Patagonia, crafting billboards above LAX and viral commercials seen by over 100 million people.
