Mushing has always been about the relationship between human and dog: trust, communication, and a team that can go places neither could go alone. This episode opens with a Foundation program built on that same idea.The Team and Trail Foundation's Lead Dog Access Program uses dog partnership to help people gain independence and get outside. It is not a race-team announcement. Selected participants receive the full Lead Dog training curriculum at $9,600, paid to the Foundation. The Foundation selects up to six people each year.Priority goes to veterans and people living with PTSD, people with mobility, psychiatric, or autism-related disabilities, and applicants from rural Alaska and other underserved communities.Apply: https://teamandtrail.com/lead-dog-access-program/Questions: explore@teamandtrail.orgDonate: https://donorbox.org/team-and-trail-foundation-ldapSupport our WorkLike this episode?

In this special re-air from The Dog Driver Show archives, the tables are turned as Dr. Robert Forto interviews his longtime co-host, Kourosh “KP” Partow, about a life spent training, racing, breeding, and learning from sled dogs.KP traces his journey back to 1987, when an energetic Siberian Husky named Crimson led him to a sled dog club in France. What started with one dog and dryland racing quickly became a way of life. He eventually moved to the United States, began racing Alaskan Huskies in Wisconsin, traveled north to compete in Alaska, and became deeply involved in the highly competitive world of sprint mushing.The conversation explores the evolution of sprint racing, the influence of European dogs and bloodlines, the glory days of major racing circuits, and KP's progression from four- and six-dog teams to eight-dog and eventually open-class competition.But some of the most important lessons come near the end of the conversation. KP talks about why the sport needs to bring back the fun, friendships, meet-and-greets, new events, and sense of community that once surrounded sled dog racing. He also offers a simple piece of advice for anyone entering the sport: find a mentor who takes good care of their dogs, respects the animals, and is passionate about mushing.This episode is more than one musher's story. It's a look at how sprint mushing has changed over several decades and what may be needed to carry it forward.Support our WorkLike this episode? Share it with your mushing friends!Love the show?

In this special re-air from The Dog Driver Show archives, Dr. Robert Forto and Kourosh Partow sit down with musher Ron Hayden for a conversation about racing, building a team, dryland mushing, and the future of sled dog sports.Ron also talks about the possibility of traveling to Alaska with Mandy Collins to experience the state's racing circuit firsthand. It's a trip that could put them on some legendary Alaska trails and introduce them to a racing community known for welcoming mushers from outside the state.The conversation turns toward where mushing may be headed over the next five to ten years. Ron sees continued growth in dryland racing, particularly smaller classes and mono-sports. These events offer a more accessible entry into mushing for people who may not have the ability or desire to maintain a kennel of ten, fifteen, or twenty dogs.Originally heard on The Dog Driver Show, this episode offers an interesting look back at a conversation about a part of the sport that continues to introduce new people to working with dogs.Support our WorkLike this episode?

What if science class felt less like studying out of a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former-NASA-engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossibly fun. In conversation with TED's Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Rober shares how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way kids learn ... and gives a peek inside his plan to bring magic to every classroom in America. (This conversation was part of an exclusive TED Membership event. TED Membership is the best way to support and engage with the big ideas you love from TED. To learn more, visit ted.com/membership.)

In this episode, we pull the September 2006 issue of Team & Trail off the shelf and discover just how much of its wisdom still holds up nearly 20 years later.From Susan Butcher's sense of belonging in Alaska and her remarkable comeback after the 1985 Iditarod to her role as one of mushing's greatest ambassadors, this issue captures a pivotal era in sled dog history. We also revisit lessons on organizational leadership and the sport's survival, along with a young Lance Mackey boldly declaring that the coming season would be his year.The names and races may change, but the questions about perseverance, leadership, belonging, and believing in your team remain remarkably familiar.Join us as we head From the Archives and rediscover the stories preserved in more than 60 years of Team & Trail.Support our WorkLike this episode?

The future of one of Norway's most important sled dog training areas is at risk.On this episode of the Mushing Podcast, Dr. Robert Forto and co-host Kourosh Partow sit down with Blanka Csizmadia to discuss the fight surrounding Hamar Sled Dog Club and the trail system that has become an important training destination for sprint and mid-distance mushers in Norway and across Europe.For decades, volunteers have maintained an extensive network of groomed trails, a clubhouse, equipment, and an arena that has hosted European and world championship competition. But years of disputes involving the privately owned land have left the club facing major legal costs and a financial crisis that could threaten its ability to continue operating.Blanka explains how the dispute developed, why the club is now raising money, and what losing the facility could mean for sled dog sports throughout the region. She also shares why support from mushers around the world matters, even for those who may never run a team on these trails.This episode is about more than saving one sled dog club. It is about volunteerism, access to trails, preserving mushing infrastructure, and what can happen when the larger sled dog community comes together to protect the places that keep the sport alive.Learn more about the world of dog-powered sports at Mushing.com.Support our WorkLike this episode?

Generar ingresos en internet ya no depende únicamente de crear una marca propia o invertir miles de dólares en inventario. Hoy Amazon está abriendo una nueva oportunidad para personas que quieren monetizar contenido recomendando productos dentro de la plataforma. Rober Perna, emprendedor y fundador de una academia donde ha ayudado a miles de alumnos a crecer en e-commerce, asegura que este modelo está transformando la manera en que muchos comienzan a generar dinero online. Todo parte de un cambio importante dentro de Amazon: "Amazon ha empezado a competir con TikTok Shop y se ha abierto una barrera de entrada que antes no estaba". La plataforma entendió que los consumidores ya no compran solamente leyendo descripciones o viendo fotos, sino consumiendo contenido más dinámico y cercano. Y ahí es donde aparecen los creadores. El punto interesante es que Amazon no necesita más productos, sino más contenido alrededor de esos productos. "Amazon tiene millones de productos en su plataforma. Lo que les falta a esos productos es contenido", afirma nuestro invitado. Por eso, dentro de su programa de influencers, la empresa comenzó a pagar comisiones a quienes generen videos que ayuden a vender artículos dentro de la plataforma. Ese contenido aparece directamente dentro de las fichas de producto. "Cuando un cliente va a la página de un producto, hay unos videos al final… esos son los videos que generan los influencers", describe nuestro experto. Si una persona ve ese contenido y termina comprando, el creador recibe una comisión. Antes, esas ganancias rondaban entre "el 1 y el 5 por ciento", pero ahora Amazon amplió las posibilidades con Creator Connections, un sistema donde las propias marcas pueden aumentar las comisiones para incentivar más contenido. "Eso puede aumentar la comisión al 20 o 40 por ciento", atestigua Rober. Uno de los mayores mitos es pensar que este modelo funciona solo para influencers masivos. Rober lo desmiente completamente: "Hay personas que sólo tienen 70 seguidores en TikTok". Lo importante no es tener millones de vistas, sino demostrar actividad real y constancia en redes sociales. "Debes generar contenido antes de aplicar a este programa", advierte nuestro invitado. Muchas personas fracasan en el intento porque aplican sin tener publicaciones, interacción o movimiento en sus perfiles. A medida que el sistema evoluciona, también aparecen oportunidades de colaboración directa con marcas. El intercambio muchas veces es simple: el creador genera contenido honesto y la marca envía el producto gratuitamente. Esto abre una puerta enorme para quienes quieren comenzar sin inversión. "Siempre a los influencers hubo que pagarles mucho dinero… pero ahora se han abierto las puertas para cualquier persona", celebra nuestro experto. De hecho, uno de los puntos más atractivos de este modelo es justamente la baja barrera de entrada: "No necesitas nada de inversión para empezar este modelo de negocio". A diferencia de otros negocios de e-commerce donde hay que comprar inventario o asumir costos logísticos, aquí el foco está en desarrollar una estrategia de contenido que funcione de manera consistente. Incluso, el modelo puede generar ingresos de distintas maneras. Rober explica que muchos de los productos enviados por las marcas terminan acumulándose: "Si yo revendo todos los productos que me llegan, fácil puedo llegar a los 10K dólares al mes". Es decir, no solo existen ganancias por comisiones, sino también oportunidades indirectas que nacen del mismo ecosistema de contenido. Sin embargo, como ocurre en cualquier negocio digital, la diferencia no está únicamente en entrar, sino en mantenerse. "Ser aprobado por Amazon no significa que vas a tener buenos resultados", alerta nuestro experto. Lo que realmente marca la diferencia es la constancia: "Debes tener una estrategia y método de trabajo y aplicarlos de manera consistente". El crecimiento de este modelo demuestra que el e-commerce ya no se trata solo de vender productos, sino también de influir en la decisión de compra. Y en un contexto donde Amazon busca competir cada vez más con las redes sociales, quienes entiendan cómo crear contenido útil y auténtico tendrán una oportunidad enorme para generar ingresos online sin necesidad de construir una marca desde cero.

There is a moment on the trail when plans stop working. Conditions shift, pressure builds, and every decision carries weight. That is where leadership shows up.In this episode of the Team & Trail Podcast, we officially introduce the Team & Trail Expedition: Leadership Through Adventure. In March 2027, we will travel the Iditarod Trail from Willow to Nome, not simply as an endurance effort, but as a real-time leadership environment.This project is built around a central idea. Leadership is not a concept or a checklist. It is something that happens when responsibility and uncertainty meet.At the core of the expedition is the Leadership Fellowship, designed for college students who want more than theory. Participants will follow the journey, analyze real scenarios, and engage with leadership decisions as they happen. This creates a rare opportunity to observe leadership in conditions where outcomes are not guaranteed.This episode explains:What the expedition is and why it mattersHow the Leadership Fellowship worksWhy real-world leadership experience is different from traditional instructionHow organizations can get involved as partnersThis is not just a single expedition. It is the beginning of something designed to grow, reach more people, and create a lasting model for experiential leadership development.Support our WorkLike this episode?

In this episode of the Mushing Podcast, host Robert Forto sits down with Iditarod finisher Sydnie Bahl, a physical therapist based in the Mat-Su Valley who recently completed her first successful run to Nome. Just days removed from the trail, Sydnie reflects on the transition back to everyday life and the reality of what it takes to finish one of the most demanding endurance races in the world.Sydnie's path into mushing was not something she had planned from childhood. After moving to Alaska in search of adventure, she was introduced to the sport through local community connections and quickly immersed herself in kennel life. What began as a willingness to help soon turned into a full commitment, leading her through qualifying races and eventually to the Iditarod start line.The conversation dives into the realities of racing the traditional Northern Route, including difficult terrain, high winds, and unpredictable trail conditions. Sydnie shares detailed stories from the race, including a series of equipment failures that forced her to rely on multiple sleds just to stay in competition. Her experience highlights not only the physical demands of the race but also the importance of the broader mushing community, where fellow competitors and race officials play a critical role in helping mushers continue forward.One of the most compelling parts of the episode centers on the final stretch into Nome, where Sydnie describes the emotional shift from survival mode to realization. After more than a thousand miles on the trail, the sound of the finish line siren and the presence of a crowd waiting at the arch marked a moment that is difficult to put into words but impossible to forget.Listeners will also hear about the dogs behind the effort, including her lead dog, Flue, and the bond that develops over years of training and racing together. The episode closes with reflections on recovery, future racing plans, and what it means to be part of the mushing community going forward.This episode offers a grounded look at the Iditarod through the lens of a first-time finisher who experienced both the highs and the setbacks that define the race.Support our WorkLike this episode?
