With the show staying June, will there be a public pushback by brands?

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.

After sharing the story about my son's pink sparkly Vans, I thought I was done talking about it—but turns out, I'm not. In this follow-up, I dive deeper into where all this fear around colors and self-expression really comes from. I talk about protection, insecurity, parenting, and the moments that still mess with me as a dad. And yeah, I bring up those pastors and dude bros who keep pushing the same tired messages. But more than anything, this is about choosing presence over fear, and building kids up from the inside. Especially with Father's Day around the corner, it felt right to keep this conversation going. If today's conversation stirred something in you—whether you're a parent, a former kid who got teased for wearing the wrong color, or someone just trying to unlearn the fear you were handed—just know you're not alone. These stories matter. Your story matters. And I'm grateful you're here, doing the work with me.

To kick off a new cycle featuring musicians turned actors, Julian, Madeline and Emilio rewatch 'Licorice Pizza', Paul Thomas Anderson's 2021 film and love letter to the San Fernando Valley circa 1973.  Populated with memorable turns from Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Skylar Gisondo, Benny Safdie and others, the film is anchored by the performances of newcomers Cooper Hoffman (son of late great PTA favorite Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and Alana Haim, the youngest of three musician sisters that make up the band HAIM.  The group discusses their own personal histories with HAIM, as well as the band's many collaborations with PTA, who directed several of their music videos,  They then dig into the unusual friendship dynamic between Gary and Alana, discuss several of the reoccurring motifs, praise the film's visual aesthetic, the many great needle drops, and weigh in the film's polarizing final note. And stick around to the end for an Unlikely Shared Universe first! Would you rather go into business with Gary Valentine or Max Fischer?

A good honest conversation never hurt anyone!! Fols Forever, Mr Vans & Chrissy are back for another week of podding!! On the agenda……

This episode starts with a viral Instagram reel that's been stuck in my head for days. In it, a pastor watches a video of a mom sharing how her son—just four or five years old—picked out a pink backpack. You hear the dad in the background, upset about it, saying he needs something more “boyish.” The pastor looks at the camera and says, “This is why we need dads.” But what does that really mean? Because when I hear that line, I don't just hear a statement—I hear an old, familiar fear. A fear I've felt myself. A fear that showed up one day in a shoe store, when my own son reached for a pair of pink sparkly Vans and I almost steered him away. In this episode, I'm wrestling with that fear—the one that tells us to shrink, to hide, to protect our kids from the world instead of protecting what's good in them. I'm talking about what color really means, how it's never just about a backpack or a pair of shoes, and what kind of dad I actually want to be. It's a conversation about masculinity, shame, freedom—and the healing we're still called to do. If today's conversation stirred something in you—whether you're a parent, a former kid who got teased for wearing the wrong color, or someone just trying to unlearn the fear you were handed—just know you're not alone. These stories matter. Your story matters. And I'm grateful you're here, doing the work with me.

 If you're anything like me, you've likely longed for a time when you could leave everything behind and hit the road, actually live the van life. I've got you covered. This episode is for you. Today, I'm speaking with Brent and Alan Klein from VanDoit, who take travelers to better places through trustworthy, modular van designs tailored to each story. Facebook   Twitter   Instagram Love the show? Subscribe,  rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter  HERE I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here:  rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com   What Happened: I used to think van life meant dropping everything, quitting your job, and driving off into the sunset with a dog and a dream. You know, the stuff Instagram makes look effortless. But then I met people who lived something different—more real. Like hauling their kids to soccer in the same van they use for weekend mountain biking trips. Or using it as a mobile showroom by day, then a cozy crash pad by night. It hit me: this isn't about escaping life—it's about expanding it. Making your van fit your life, not the other way around. That's when I realized... van life doesn't have to be all or nothing. It can be everything. Principle: The best adventure vehicles don't just take you places—they evolve with your life. From hauling mulch to hauling mountain bikes to hauling kids, they meet you wherever you are. Van life isn't about living out of your van. It's about living more fully because of it. Transition: But here's the thing… Most people think van life means going all-in, Instagram-ready sunsets and full-time nomadism. And that belief? It's holding them back. They either think it's “not for them” or they try to DIY their way into it and end up elbow-deep in wiring they should've never touched. That's why: That's why we dropped this episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast—to show you a more authentic path. One that's rooted in decades of experience, real-life usage, and a design philosophy that's more about living than it is about lifestyle labels. Call to Action: Still dreaming of freedom but stuck thinking you're “not the van type”? Listen to this episode. Discover how modular design is changing what van life really means—no sanding, wiring, or duct-taped dreams required. #van life, #modular vans, #outdoor adventure, #camper van, #road trip, #RV conversion, #family travel, #adventure travel, #mobile medical vans, #commercial vans, #remote work, #van customization, #outdoor gear, #motorsports, #mountain biking, #camping, #van storage solutions, #modular design, #custom interiors, #everyday van use, #wellness vans, #crisis units, #versatility, #adventure gear, #van community, #DIY van conversion, #van durability, #overlanding

Señoras, señores, me alegro, buenos días. Es lunes, son las 8 de la mañana, son las 7 en Canarias, lunes 19 de mayo del 2005, ha iniciado su pontificado con una misa. Ayer el Papa León XIV, llamamiento a la unidad de la Iglesia y a la paz en el mundo.

Today's guest is writer/director Natalia Leite. This director is one of the bravest filmmakers I've ever met. Her work on the VICE documentary ‘Life as a Truck-Stop Stripper was breathtaking. Not only did she direct the piece but one of the subjects in the film as well. Take a look below at her amazing work.Everyone knows what charming places strip clubs can be, but perhaps there is no club so charming as one in Moriarty, New Mexico—a truck stop with taxidermy and the bras of former employees on the walls, a few poles, a shitload of black light, and plenty of titties. Never mind that The Ultimate Strip Club List website describes it as the place “where strippers go to die.” Natalia Leite and Alexandra Roxo go Gonzo as they pose as strippers and experience something that can be best described as a Marina Abramovic performance crossed with a bizarro episode of Wife Swap directed by David Lynch's daughters, set in the type of place where a one-eyed guy who shot himself in the head dispenses meditation advice to two naked women.Natalia Leiteis a Brazilian writer/director. Her work has been described as having “a bracing, assertive style” (Variety), “emotional intelligence and sensitivity” (LA Times), and as “cementing the reign over highly stylized, sexually progressive dramas” (Slant).Her feature film “M.F.A.”, a psychological thriller centered around rape crimes in a university, premiered at SXSW 2017 and was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. The film stars Francesca Eastwood and was released in theaters October 2017. Her feature film debut, “Bare,” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015, starring Dianna Agron.The film was released by IFC Films and Paramount Pictures. Natalia has created original content for Vice Media, most notably the provocative Vice show “Every Woman” which has garnered over 11 million views. She co-created and starred in the series “Be Here Nowish,” and has directed and shot documentaries internationally.Natalia is a contributing writer for Talk House and has been a featured speaker for NY Women In Film & Television, Apple Store Talks, IFP Filmmaker Conference, and numerous Universities. She also directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, Nasty Gal, and other companies. She recently signed with bicoastal production company Humble, her first commercial representation, and directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, and other companies.Enjoy my conversation with Natalia Leite.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

"The total editorial media value plus the media assets created around the teams are superior to pure advertising expenditures."(2:30) "It is a must to believe in one's product. If this were just a marketing gimmick, it would never work."(5:00) He doesn't place a premium on collecting friends or socializing: "I don't believe in 50 friends. I believe in a smaller number. Nor do I care about society events. It's the most senseless use of time. When I do go out, from time to time, it's just to convince myself again that I'm not missing a lot."(7:30) The most dangerous thing for a branded product is low interest. (Edwin Land: The test of an invention is the power of an inventor to push it through in the face of the staunch-not opposition, but indifference-in society.

To Mateschitz, it's just one big image campaign with many manifestations.(12:00) He has no plans to sell or take Red Bull public. "It's not a question of money. It's a question of fun. Can you imagine me in a shareholders' meeting?”(13:00) Red Bull's Billionaire Maniac https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-05-19/red-bulls-billionaire-maniac(16:00) He is universally described as a person with great charisma.(16:30) The Invisible Billionaire: Daniel Ludwig by Jerry Shields. (Founders 292)(17:00) He has a fierce desire for privacy. He buys a society magazine to make sure he never appears in it.(22:00) There is no market for Red Bull.

Red Bull consistently took the opposite route: It outsourced production and distribution and takes care of sales and advertising itself.(40:00) Charlie Munger and John Collison on Invest Like The Best #355 Rolex: Timeless Excellence on Invest Like The Best (41:00) If you are making a physical product make it look different from its competitors from the start.(43:00) Everything is marketing.(45:00) Never do anything that compromises your survival.(46:00) He keeps his empire constantly in motion(46:00) All corporate projects like Formula 1, football, Air Race, and media serve the core business: the sale of the energy drink.(47:00) This is a battle for attention.(49:00) Red Bull owns their events.

Have you ever wanted to visit Eden?  Listen in as I chat with author Dell Vans about her YA fantasy series where siblings Josh and Judy find a portal... to Eden. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Portal fantasy is a particular favorite of mine, and going to Eden? Sign me up and gimme a few hours to read it, and... bliss. Right? Add to that all the best of fantastical and mythical characters from folklore the world over, and yeah. WOOT!  The Harrowing Adventures of New Eden  by Dell Vans Judy is a quiet young girl who tries to avoid her father's frequent outbursts. After a particularly abusive episode, her brother Josh reveals a secret: he's been communicating with their older brother, Danny, through a special rock outside their neighbor's home. Danny also sent Josh a map to a location in the woods outside their home, which he is gung-ho at finding. But the woods are supposed to be off-limits! What should Judy do? Eager to see their brother again, Judy reluctantly agrees to follow Josh to the location, if only as an escape from their home. Upon leaving the next morning, their father chases after them. When they arrive at the location, Danny is nowhere to be found. Instead, they find a hole. To escape their father once and for all, they jump into the hole, only to realize it's actually a portal to Eden. Yes, that Eden! Luckily, Josh and Judy run into a couple of elves named Robin and Joralf. Judy and Robin are excited to meet each other, but Josh has his doubts. Meanwhile, Joralf feels the children's sudden appearance will have dire effects throughout the land. Evil threatens to enter the land and cause an imbalance throughout the garden, which would lead to Eden's complete destruction. Joralf encourages the children to return home immediately, but Judy doesn't want to go home. However, she doesn't want to be what kills all of Eden's inhabitants-mermaids, jackalopes, kalavinkas, Nephilim, and so much more-either. There's a problem, though: Judy accidentally broke the crystal that operates the portal! There's only one other option; the group must find the Archangel Uriel before Eden collapses. It's going to take a lot of determination and resolve to fight through roaring rivers, major lightning storms, deception, killer birds, and mutinies to get there. Can Josh and Judy find Uriel before the building natural disasters tear Eden apart? Follow Judy through the portal and find out!

Checking off a critical bucket list item: Colonial Outcasts officially coronates its alliance with Irish resistance against colonialism and imperialism via an unapologetic scattershot harangue with Jake, lead the singer of The Shan Vans, a Belfast-based Irish-language rock band blending high-energy sound with a radical political message. Rooted in anti-imperialism and Irish resistance, their music champions decolonization, cultural revival, and international solidarity.Released last month, their third and latest single The Shan Van, a powerful anti-genocide anthem, forms the centerpiece of Unite Against Genocide, their Ireland-Palestine solidarity project which involved over 100 artists and contributors worldwide.Jake draws on themes of resistance, decolonization, and cultural memory, influenced by his upbringing in the early OOs in one of the most politically active communities in Ireland, Ballymurphy. Singing in Irish, Jake blends personal and political narratives, often weaving together themes of decolonization, Irish mythology, radical poetry, and contemporary global struggles.www.instagram.com/theshanvans www.x.com/theshanvanshttps://awkwardvoicebl... #music #kneecap #ireland #irish #war #politics #coachella #punk #rock #genz #belfast
