Tom Austen is the founder of Pelotan, the world's first sun performance brand, and co-founder of Chance, a trail running apparel brand he's building with pro athlete and serial entrepreneur Christian Meier. Both brands are based in Girona, Spain — a two-square-kilometer pocket of world-class endurance athletes, cafes, and startups that's become the Boulder of Europe. In this conversation, Tom walks through how Pelotan went from a sunburn problem on training rides to winning two Tour de Frances with Team Sky in its first year, and how the brand is now pioneering something entirely new: treating the sun as a performance variable rather than just a health risk. He also gets into the Chance origin story, why cross-pollination across categories is the key to building something original, and what it's like to run two high-growth startups at the same time from a city of 100,000 people.

Steve Holmberg is one of our favorite recurring guests, and this time, he showed up with something nobody expected. Over the holidays, Steve went from zero coding experience to a fully functional AI-powered app called Field Check, built using the vibe coding platform Lovable. The app connects retail store associates directly to brand product and marketing teams through AI-driven chats that go deeper than any survey can — and he built the whole thing in about a month. In this conversation, Steve walks through exactly how he did it, what he wishes he'd known before starting, and why AI is "a tool masquerading as a solution." He also deployed Field Check live on the Second Nature Slack channel to surface what the audience actually wants — and the results are fascinating. Plus: a halftime check-in on Second Nature's 2026 predictions, what happened at Sea Otter with Chinese bike brands, why Adidas is having a moment, and the 32-inch wheel debate that nobody asked for.

Maren Hamilton ran global social at The North Face — building and executing a strategy for 5.5 million followers, integrating athletes and creators, and navigating every platform shift from the follow graph to the discovery graph. Then she left to help build Popfly, the creator platform built specifically for the outdoor industry. In this conversation, Maren shares the playbook she developed at TNF for running brand social at scale, including how to say no to the hundreds of internal requests that flood every social team, why the outdoor buying journey is fundamentally different from fashion and beauty, and what brands still get wrong about TikTok, Threads, and Facebook. Plus: Why Head of Social to CMO is now a real career path, what makes a creator pitch actually land with a brand, and the Adidas sub-two-hour marathon moment that might be the greatest brand activation of the decade. Second Nature is supported by Popfly.

Matt Trappe is a photographer, filmmaker, creative strategist, and the voice behind the Matter of Brand newsletter: one of the most consistently sharp reads on brand building in the outdoor space. In this conversation, Matt and Aaron dig into why leading with innovation and tech has become table stakes rather than a differentiator, the three elements that make a brand story actually stick, and why the most powerful thing a brand can do right now is invest in longer attention channels rather than chasing short-form reach.

Most outdoor brands have a YouTube problem. They're just not talking about it. Jeff Pelletier is a filmmaker, trail running creator, and one of the most thoughtful students of YouTube strategy and in the outdoor space. In this episode he breaks down why most brand channels are underperforming and what to actually do about it. We cover the difference between consistency and familiarity, why athlete-led channels outperform brand channels, the Marvel cinematic universe framework for building an audience around characters, and how YouTube's new collaboration feature changes the game for brand-creator partnerships. If you work at a brand, or if you're a creator who wants to bring more value to the brands that back you, this episode is required listening.

We hosted a Second Nature meetup with everyone at the Sea Otter Classic, and pulled a handful of friends up to the microphone to have conversations about everything happening in the industry and in their world at large.  Jeremy Dunn, Braydon Bringhurst, Eric Porter, Tom Austen, Rachel Fussell, Steve Blick and Yuri Hauswald joined Aaron on the stage to chat through the lessons they've learned and the things that they're working hard to accomplish in 2026.

150 episodes. Two years. No shortage of stuff happening. On this milestone bro pod, we take stock of where Second Nature has been — and where things are heading. Digging into what's actually changed in 2026: what we've removed, working with an executive coach, launching a live weekly show, and opening the first mountain bike retail store in Shenzhen, China. Plus a real conversation about the grind before the momentum, why the irons are finally heating up, and what it feels like when years of consistent work starts clicking into place.

This episode dives back into the issue of food waste, why it matters, and what you can do about it. But it's also a behind-the-scenes conversation about reporting on the topic. Katelan Cunningham, the host of the Second Nature podcast, talks about why she pursued this story, what the biggest obstacles to her reporting were, and what you do when failing on food waste makes you feel guilty. 

The Evolution of Brands, Athletes and Creators If there's one thing for certain, it's that nothing ever stays the same - doubly so if you're a brand in the outdoor space or an athlete or creator. Over the past year, we've had so many discussions about what's working, the right way to approach it, and how it has evolved.

Uplifting Talent In The Outdoor Industry Rachael Burnside saw an opportunity to build a stronger community of women in the bike industry by connecting experienced mentors with mentees, which would help build and retain top talent. The fifth round of the Uplift mentorship program is now underway, and in our conversation, Rachael breaks down the playbook of what it took to build this program - and how any other industry can adapt and benefit from making these connections.

Das zweite Album der Luzerner Musikerin Lea Mathis ist vom Reisen und den verschiedenen Orten geprägt, an denen die neun Songs entstanden sind. Oh, und ein Tipp von Brian Eno war auch noch ziemlich wertvoll. Welcher Tipp das war, erzählt Mathis heute im exklusiven Sounds!-Interview – zusammen mit weiteren Geschichten zu ihren neuen Songs, die von Mitskis dynamischem Songwriting oder der neuen dänischen Songwriter:innen-Szene rund um ML Buch und Astrid Sonne inspiriert wurden.

Second Nature by Chaun Ballard by Poets & Writers

A third of the food Americans produce goes to waste, and a shocking amount of that waste happens in our own homes. But reducing food waste is possible, if we make a few simple changes. In this episode, which comes to REAP/SOW courtesy of Second Nature, reporter Katelan Cunnigham talks to plastic-free, low-waste chef Anne-Marie Bonneau about how she limits food waste. Surprise: food delivery isn't as bad as you thought when it comes to waste.

We see greenwashing everywhere — from product labels to fossil fuel ads. But it goes even deeper than that. Greenwashing gets in the way of climate policy changes too!On this episode of Second Nature, we're hearing how our community dodges greenwashing, talking through 4 questions to ask yourself to see if a brand is greenwashing, and we're talking to Dr. Mara Einstein about how greenwashing has evolved with the rise of social media.   

For the past three seasons of the Second Nature, hundreds of you have shared climate actions you take in our own homes — composting, avoiding overconsumption, eating less meat. These practices give us a strong foundation for what comes next. ‍This season, we're focusing our energy outward and making our efforts bigger by proxy with the help of community. This first episode serves as a mission statement for our season of community and connection, and we are extremely honored to have our first guest of the season be the one and only Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson.‍Be sure to listen to the end of the episode to hear our first-ever Community Classifieds — an audio bulletin board of community climate efforts to join around the world. Want to submit your Community Classified? We'd love to hear from you!

It's a Thanksgiving feast of football takes this week as Caleb and Derek break down a wild slate of headlines—including Chip Kelly getting the Vegas boot, the Giants sending another coach packing, and Oklahoma State rolling the dice on Eric Morris.Then it's time to build the Thanksgiving NFL Plates: Caleb and Derek each draft their Turkey, sides, and desserts from around the league, with some teams getting seated at the kids' table whether they like it or not.The Eliminations roll on as more teams get carved up, Playoff Tickets get stamped, and the Stockwatch delivers spicy buys and ruthless sells (sorry, Bears fans). The Game of the Week—Bills at Steelers—comes with X-factors that could swing the whole AFC picture, and the Brodie Bets return with another round of Meacham Magic, Vitamin B12, SECond Nature, Baker's Delights, Bo-liever Picks, and all the chaos the handshake standings can handle.Stuff your plate.

We're one week out from a new season of Second Nature! Before our season 4 launch, we wanted to bring it back to one of the community's favorite episodes from last season: Why Don't We Fix Things Anymore?Planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence have us in a disposable consumption cycle. But it hasn't always been this way. When and why did we stop thinking things were worth fixing?In this episode, we get a history lesson in planned obsolescence, visit Adrienne Ferre, who is helping run a Makers Hub in LA, complete with a tool library and repair cafes. And we catch up on Right to Repair legislation with Commons' founder and CEO Sanchali Seth Pal.

Jonny and Heather start out the show reveling in some new media that shows representations of queer and trans identities are still prevalent in popular culture. Even where books and professors have been silenced, there are signs of successful resistance. In the back half of the show they discuss the recent No Kings protest and how the Trump Administration's and GOP's responses to it reveal how weak they really are. 

Kyle Siegel, founder of Raide Research, appeared on the Second Nature podcast one year ago - just as he was finalizing the brand's first entry into trail running with the LF 2L belt. We've been following Raide closely since then, and brought Kyle (and his newest hire) back on the podcast to check in. It's safe to say, quite a bit has changed since the last time we had Kyle on the podcast.

What if swim lessons could be fun, safe, and welcoming for every age and stage? This week on What's Up Waco, I chatted with Ashley Major, Director of Operations for SafeSplash Swim School, about how they're helping families build confident, capable swimmers. SafeSplash is already making waves in Temple and is bringing that same energy to Woodway with a brand-new location opening in November 2025. What I love most is that they start as young as four months, teaching littles not just to float but to actually get to the edge of a pool or body of water—giving them real, practical safety skills. They also provide space for competitive swimmers to grow and for adults to finally learn in a comfortable, non-judgmental environment. In this episode, we talk about why water safety is more than floating, how lessons build confidence from babies through adulthood, why adults love the program, and what families can expect at the new Woodway location. If you're a parent who wants your kids to develop lifelong water safety skills, an adult ready to feel confident in the water, or just curious about what SafeSplash brings to Central Texas, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways: Water safety is about more than floating—kids learn to reach the edge and stay safe in real situations Lessons start as early as 4 months and go through adult programs Competitive swimmers get the training and confidence they need to grow Adults have a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space to learn and improve Website: safesplash.com Facebook: SafeSplash Swim School Instagram: @safesplashswimschool Connect with SafeSplash:Hit play and get inspired to make water safety a part of your family's life—because it's never too early or too late to feel confident in the water.

Breakfast Club is a massive phenomenon coming out of Austin, Texas. They host group rides of over 800 riders on a monthly basis, dwarfing any other group ride. Beyond the organization of monthly rides, they also maintain an annual membership, an app, and brand partnerships to support the cause - which is necessary when you're providing amenities like police escorts on road rides. In this conversation with Grant Rogers and Jordie Ammons, we learn more about the origins, the experience, and where we might see Breakfast Club heading in the future.

Nights in Stereo isn't just a band—it's a story nearly two decades in the making. The LA-based trio, made up of 9-1-1: Lone Star's Ronen Rubinstein, Jonny Shoer, and Rodrigo Rodarte, recently released their debut EP Second Nature—a collection that fuses retro-grunge, shoegaze, and indie pop into something cinematic, emotional, and timeless. In this episode, the band opens up about the friendships and chance encounters that shaped their path, how the pandemic sparked a new creative era, and the process of reimagining old demos into something fresh and powerful. We also dive into Ronen's balance between acting and music, the unique universe the band has built for their fans, and what lies ahead now that Second Nature is out in the world. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering their lo-fi late-night sound, this conversation pulls you straight into the heart of Nights in Stereo's journey.

Jonathan Levitt is back on Second Nature for his second appearance, this time to dive deep into the world of partnerships. We almost titled this episode "You're Probably Doing Affiliate Marketing The Wrong Way" because Jonathan dropped an incredible amount of knowledge about best practices for structuring, onboarding and executing partnerships. His first podcast appearance is the most referenced conversation in our library, and we think this episode is going to be right up there.

"Customers don't want three different dashboards — they want one pane of glass." — Adam Derkey, Product Architect, Unimax At Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Adam Derkey of Unimax to explore Sentinel, the company's cloud-native, multi-vendor CDR (Call Detail Record) and analytics tool. Sentinel, now live for nearly a year, provides a single interface for monitoring call data across Cisco, Microsoft Teams, Avaya, and other platforms — eliminating the need for disparate reporting tools. Designed from the ground up as a cloud-first solution in Microsoft Azure, Sentinel simplifies the overwhelming volume of CDR data generated by modern UC systems, offering standardized dashboards, visualizations, and actionable insights. “You don't have to understand how a Teams call record works versus a Cisco record. We normalize all of it so you can focus on what matters,” said Derkey, who led the product's design. Unlike Unimax's flagship Second Nature, which streamlines MACD (Moves, Adds, Changes, and Deletes) management, Sentinel provides deep analytics on system performance and usage. Together, the two solutions create a powerful lifecycle platform: one for UC system control, the other for operational intelligence. Key Features of Sentinel: Multi-vendor CDR normalization (Cisco, Avaya, Teams, etc.) Unified dashboards and visual analytics Rapid cloud deployment (in as little as a week) Open availability to both existing and new Unimax customers Unimax is already seeing strong demand — from both long-time customers and net-new prospects — especially among enterprises seeking simplified UC reporting and resellers who want to offer bundled visibility solutions. Sentinel is also helping channel partners open new conversations with Cisco users and decision-makers. “It's a door-opener,” said Derkey, “especially for those who want to consolidate UC analytics without adding another vendor.” To learn more, visit unimax.com.

May 14, 2025 Join host Pete Neubig as he talks with Thad Tarkington, CEO and Co-Founder of Second Nature, about the challenges and insights of building and leading a global team. Thad shares his journey from lifeguard to tech entrepreneur, the critical role of alignment and communication in scaling a business, and his company's strategies to reinforce core values across a 300+ person organization. Whether you're an early-stage founder or a seasoned executive, this episode is packed with practical advice on culture, leadership, and growth.

This episode is a little different than what you're used to, as it's a special swap with Commons and their Second Nature podcast. It's an amazing listen and I'm stoked to share it with y'all! “I think this is inspiring people to move away from being passive consumers to instead becoming stewards of their belongings and have that sense of responsibility and it goes beyond this individual action…For us, democratizing repair isn't just a luxury or a trend, it's something essential to creating this future where sustainability and equity guide the way forward.” -Sumaq Alvarado del Aguida, Suay Sew Shop This month's theme is – HOW TOXINS FROM OUR CLOTHES MOVE AROUND THE WORLD. This episode by Second Nature gets into the layers around donated clothing, how BIG of an issue it is, and how global it truly is. From talking about the recent devastating fire in Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, to the onslaught of clothing donations that overwhelmed facilities in Los Angeles after the wildfires in January this year, this episode explores some interested parallels and disturbing realities around the low quality of so much of the clothing that ends up in the donation cycle, as well as the harmful impacts that toxins within those clothes can have on the communities where they land. You'll hear from Sumaq of Suay Sew Shop in LA on the excess of crappy clothing that was donated to them amidst the wildfires, and how they are working to get creative with those textiles. One thing I want to highlight is how Sumaq shares that we need to become “stewards of our belongings”. Passing it over to Katelan, the host of Second Nature, who will share more with you in this special episode!  Second Nature Episode Follow Second Nature on Instagram

This episode originally aired on June 12, 2024. Becoming more conscious consumers is a pivotal step in building a more sustainable economy, but how do we deconsume in a consumerist world? When we buy less, we save money, cut down on clutter, and lower our emissions. This collective shift has another big impact — helping us to steer the economy away from disposable products, unsustainable resource use, and dangerous supply chains.On this episode of Second Nature, we hear listeners' take on overconsumption and their tips for deconsumption. We also chat with climate activist and educator Lauren Bash about Buy Nothing groups, Repair Cafes, and her own deconsumption journey. Plus, we find out who's doing all this overconsuming and the impact it's having on the rest of the world.

Now, Aaron and I co-host another podcast called Second Nature where we talk about the Outdoor Industry, endeavoring to help people build brands, businesses, and careers in the space.    In this conversation, we talk about the past and present of athlete partnerships, the reasons brands sponsor athletes, the value of creating longform content, audience vs. community, the future of athlete partnerships, and a lot more!   LISTEN TO SECOND NATURE   SIGNUP FOR SECOND NATURE NEWSLETTER   FOLLOW SECOND NATURE ON LINKEDIN   SIGNUP FOR THE FREETRAIL NEWSLETTER   Sponsors: Use code freetrail10 for 10% off Speedland Footwear Use code freetrail15 for 15% off Gnarly Nutrition Get 30% off your first subscription of Ketone IQ at HVMN.com/FREETRAIL30 Freetrail Links: Website | Freetrail Pro | Patreon | Instagram | YouTube | Freetrail Experts   Dylan Links: Instagram | Twitter | LinkedIn | Strava
