In this episode, Nicole and Sarah sit down with Rhonda Swenson, founder and creative director of Krimson Klover, a women's outdoor lifestyle brand known for its vintage-inspired illustrated base layers and bold, colorful knitwear. Rhonda shares her journey from Texas ski slopes to building a successful Boulder-based company, emphasizing her commitment to slow fashion, ethical manufacturing, and sustainable practices. With a 15-person team (plus up to eight dogs in the office!), she's built a brand that takes 18-24 months to bring products to market, working with renowned international artists and maintaining 20-year relationships with factory partners.The conversation covers Rhonda's entrepreneurial path—from flight attendant to ski industry rep to serial founder—and her philosophy on work-life balance, with no one working more than 40 hours per week. As an avid backcountry skier who calls Vail her home mountain, Rhonda embodies the outdoor lifestyle her brand represents. She shares practical advice for ski moms building their wardrobes, highlighting the bestselling Switchback jacket and the versatile Carving Skirt. For aspiring entrepreneurs, her message is clear: "Go for it. What have you got to lose?" You can find Krimson Klover at www.KrimsonKlover.com, on Instagram @krimsonklover, and in ski shops nationwide.Memorable QuotesOn entrepreneurship: "I always just say, go for it. What have you got to lose? You'll have regret if you don't go for it. I think fear drives people's hesitation to jump in and do something new."On failure: "Failure wasn't an option for me. I had to pick myself up and keep on going. I've made a lot of mistakes along the way, but you learn from them."On work-life balanceParticipating destinations include:

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by Nathan Wright, known on trail as Switchback. Nathan is an ambassador for the Pinhoti Trail and Alabama trails more broadly, wearing almost too many hats to count. He is the co-founder of the Pinhoti Outdoor Center - a hostel he runs with his wife, President of the Alabama Hiking Trail Society, Vice President of the Alabama Pinhoti Trail Association, Chairman of the Board of the Pinhoti Experience Foundation, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Alabama Trails Commission.  In this conversation, we go deep on everything to do with the Pinhoti Trail and Nathan's many roles in supporting it. We cover the best time of year to hike it, what to expect in terms of wildlife, resupply, water, and logistics, as well as the standout physical features of the trail. Nathan also shares why the trail's surrounding community makes it so special, the can't-miss town stops and restaurants, and why he believes it's the best off-season thru-hike in the US. We wrap the show with a FREE STUFF alert for 2025 PCT Thru-Hikers, how to get college credit for thru-hiking the AT, how our lives would be totally different if our first names were spelled differently, the triple crown of thru-hiker fads, a shortest day of the year of the week, and a listener shares some intel on Texas' most underrated trail.

Preserve or protect? After falling in love with driving to the sun, a road is built to nowhere in the 1960s. Mobility for some is restricting for others. Have National Parks become national parking lots? Glacier Conservancy: https://glacier.org/headwaters Frank Waln music: https://www.instagram.com/frankwaln/ Stella Nall art: https://www.instagram.com/stella.nall/

This season of Headwaters is a six-episode exploration of the 20th century history of Glacier National Park—asking what it really means to belong here.

Uncertainty and imagination. A history of fire management in Glacier and beyond, told through three 20th century fires and a visit to the Missoula Fire Sciences Lab. To what extent can we—or should we—control nature? Glacier Conservancy: https://glacier.org/headwaters Frank Waln music: https://www.instagram.com/frankwaln/ Stella Nall art: https://www.instagram.com/stella.nall/

Switchback is a 20th century history of Glacier National Park. A collection of turning points in the American story as seen from Glacier National Park. The series explores moments when perspectives changed and when people reconsidered who, and what, belongs in a national park.

Conviction and compromise. Two anti-war movements converge in Glacier National Park in the 1940s. Does moderation belong in the middle of World War II? Glacier Conservancy: https://glacier.org/headwaters Frank Waln music: https://www.instagram.com/frankwaln/ Stella Nall art: https://www.instagram.com/stella.nall/

Migration and belonging. A convergence of non-native species helps save, and then scatter, iconic bald eagles. Belonging is not just a feeling: it's something we build together. What does it mean to be from somewhere? Glacier Conservancy: https://glacier.org/headwaters Frank Waln music: https://www.instagram.com/frankwaln/ Stella Nall art: https://www.instagram.com/stella.nall/

Pressure and release. Down into the Hungry Horse Dam in the 1950s and back up through the SKQ Dam in the 2010s. Dams create power, but unequally. This is a history of rivers told through three dams.

Today on The Rock Fight our normal Monday crew of Producer Dave and outdoor industry insider Eoin Comerford join Colin to run through the following topics!We already have the dates and location for next year's Switchback Spring. With the show staying June, will there be a public pushback by brands? (07:28)It's The Rock Fight Lightning Round where we hit a couple of industry news stories: Moody's has downgraded VF due to the poor performance of Vans and Dickies. How does this news impact the broader outdoor industry? (15:40)Solo Brands makes some moves that will help them avoid bankruptcy. (18:02)Today's main topic peels back a key takeaway from last weeks OIA Trends presentation that took place at Switchback, namely that the casual outdoor consumer is growing and outdoor retailers should be luring those consumers into their stores. We ponder how that should be done and wonder if the outdoor industry as a whole has a genuine marketing problem.

Times Have Changed for CEO's...Get Switched On! In high-pressure moments, are you truly in control of your decisions, or is your brain just reacting? The truth is, when stress kicks in, most of us default to old patterns stored in the back of our brains—patterns that often lead to bad choices. That's why Steven R. Falk, author of The Switched On CEO, is joining A New Direction to reveal how leaders can retrain their brains to think strategically—even in the heat of the moment. We like to believe we're rational decision-makers, but when the stakes are high, our survival instincts take over. Falk's Switchback System is designed to help leaders recognize when they're slipping into reactive thinking and switch back to the rational, problem-solving part of the brain. If you're leading a business, a team, or even just your own career, mastering this skill is a game-changer. Great leaders don't just survive under pressure—they thrive because they know how to take control of their own minds. Falk will share how the best CEOs, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers override fear-based thinking, break free from unproductive mental loops, and make smarter choices—no matter the circumstances. If you've ever felt stuck or frustrated by the way you react in high-stress situations, you don't want to miss this conversation. This isn't just another leadership talk—it's a chance to rewire the way you think, lead, and make decisions when it matters most. Invite your colleagues, and get ready to flip the switch on your leadership! Steven Falk's Book, "The Switched-On CEO: How to Think Like a World-Class Leader" is one of the most insightful looks at the psychology of the CEO you will find. The book is a rediscovery of who we are, not just as CEO's, but people.  How we are so easily triggered by past thoughts in the back of our brain that we lose control of ourselves and our decision-making processes. As soon as something happens in our life, or the wrong person says the wrong thing, the next thing you know, our rational/logical thinking front brain is taken over by escalating emotion and irrationality.  And hence, we become "predictably irrational". This book is a look at how our thinking betrays us.  How we can move those past negative memories that trigger us (which Steven Falk calls our "Xs"), move them into the front of our brain, deal with them and move on. The key to all of this...A growth mindset. We must have the willingness and firm belief that we can change! But not only us, but that others can change as well. Steven then adapts the Switchback process to the concept of TEAM. He digs into "The 3-Lane conversation" where he will even discuss how to deal with the difficult conversation that CEO's must have. The book is a "how-to" guide for anyone who wants to move themselves, their TEAM, and their entire company to a "world-class" level.  The Switched-On CEO, is truly a powerful, practical book.  Get your copy by clicking here!
