Ross McGraw has had one of the more interesting career arcs in the outdoor industry — from Nike's NYC Run program to Vice Media and Viacom, to helping build Hammerhead through its acquisition by SRAM, and now leading commercial efforts at CORE, the company changing how elite athletes think about heat. In this conversation, Ross breaks down the science of heat training in plain language — why 80% of the energy athletes generate is thermal, how heat zones work, and why the world's best cyclists and runners are training in heat suits before major races. He also gets into what it felt like to go from being a cog in a media machine to betting on himself in sports tech, why triathlon taught him more about business than any corporate job, and how to know when you're doing the "social run" version of your career.

First Grizzly Bear of 2026 Spotted in Yellowstone National Park On March 9, Yellowstone biologists working in the northern part of the park reported seeing the first grizzly bear of the spring season. The bear was observed in the backcountry scavenging on a bull bison carcass. The first reported grizzly bear sighting of 2025 occurred on March 14. In 2024, it occurred on March 3, and in 2022 and 2023, March 7. When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Bears may react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses. Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May. All of Yellowstone is grizzly and black bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks and parking lots around Old Faithful. Protect yourself and bears by following our safety guidelines: Prepare for a bear encounter by carrying bear spray, knowing how to use it and making sure it's accessible. Stay alert. Hike or ski in groups of three or more, stay on maintained trails and make noise. Avoid hiking at dusk, dawn or at night. Do not run if you encounter a bear. Stay 100 yards (91 m) away from black and grizzly bears. Approaching bears within 100 yards is prohibited. Use binoculars, a telescope or telephoto lens to get a closer look. Store food, garbage, barbecue grills and other attractants in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof food storage boxes. Report bear sightings and encounters to a park ranger immediately.

Officials with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department say Curtis Lee Daniels entered a Largemouth Bass in a tournament at Lake Fork that was later found to contain three three-quarter-ounce fishing weights inside its stomach. According to an affidavit obtained by KLTV, investigators also reported finding the same type of weights in Daniels' boat. The fishing tournament offered an overall prize of 11-thousand, five-hundred dollars. Daniels was arrested Sunday and booked into the Wood County Jail. He is being held on a 20-thousand-dollar bond on a charge of violating a fishing tournament law, which is considered a third-degree felony in Texas. If convicted, Daniels could face up to ten years in prison and fines of up to ten thousand dollars. Officials say other possible penalties include losing his fishing license and paying civil restitution.

The disqualifications happened during the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Oman. Veterinary inspectors found evidence that some camels had been given cosmetic injections and other enhancements. According to reports from Vice Media and Forbes, the procedures included hyaluronic acid injections in the lips, dermal fillers, silicone around the nose, Botox to soften facial features, and silicone wax used to inflate the animals' humps. Those treatments violate competition rules, which require that camels be judged only on their natural physical traits. Camel beauty contests are popular across the Gulf region, where prized animals compete for prestige and sometimes large prize money. Judges typically evaluate features like the camel's  coat, neck, head, and hump—traits meant to reflect selective breeding rather than cosmetic enhancement. Organizers, including the Camel Club and the Oman Camel Racing Federation, say they're committed to preventing manipulation in the competitions and plan to enforce strict penalties for breeders who break the rules. The incident has also renewed debate about how far some competitors are willing to go in pursuit of victory—especially when a camel looks, as officials put it, “too good to be true.” Reference: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/03/06/camels-disqualified-beauty-pageant-cosmetic-injections-oman/89023631007/ OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Nic McKinley is a former military special operator and ex-CIA operative who founded and led two multimillion-dollar tech companies. A pioneer in building technical solutions to protect society from predators, Nic is passionate about solving society's most pressing issues through cost-effective technical solutions. Nic grew up in Montana but left to join US military special operations as a US Air Force Pararescueman. After more than a decade in Pararescue, Nic worked in private intelligence start-ups before being recruited into a specialized unit at the Central Intelligence Agency that provided unique capabilities and expertise in response to the critical operational needs of the Intelligence Community. With 30 combat deployments under his belt in both Special Operations and the CIA, Nic experienced the power of technology during the Global War on Terror and set out to use his skills and training with that experience to combat modern slavery. In 2014, Nic founded DeliverFund, the only donor-funded solution to human trafficking that delivers proprietary data and technology to law enforcement, allowing them to take down human traffickers effectively. Along with DeliverFund, Nic founded a venture capital-backed software company and has a technology leadership consulting practice.

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.

In this powerful episode, David Chambers sits down with men's leadership expert Peter to unpack the hidden reasons why so many men feel disconnected, lost, and stuck in their lives, relationships, and careers. We dive deep into the father wound, mother wound, and how childhood conditioning silently blocks men from accessing true power and emotional confidence. Peter shares his own story of transformation — from self-medicating and emotional suppression to becoming a leader who helps men reclaim their purpose, presence, and self-expression.   Peter Eugène Bennett, Born in London, grown in Bangladesh, raised in Glastonbury - my multicultural upbringing taught me to navigate different worlds. Through personal struggles with family tragedy and my own journey with burnout, I discovered that our deepest wounds often become our greatest gifts. I never faced my own shadows of self-doubt, self-harm and self-hate. I hid the pain, suppressing emotions through various escapes, until a near-fatal street fight and arrest became my wake-up call. Yet with struggle comes freedom. I was stuck in my head, and now guide others back home to their hearts. For those who sense there's more to life and are ready to take the leap - I invite you to discover your full expression. My superpower is authenticity. From living with Shipibos in the Amazon to training in Flowstate, each experience has deepened my initiation into leadership. With a colourful 10+ year career in fast paced and creative roles, I found success as a TV presenter, “won” 3 dating shows and worked with brands such as MTV, Vice Media and TimeOut - still my heart yearned for more.. Everything changed when I attended my first men's circle in 2019. Recognising the profound impact of this work, I trained as a facilitator and began leading my own groups, witnessing the power of connection. Now, as Director of Sacred Sons Europe, I guide transformational experiences across the world, whilst offering 1-2-1 coaching and conscious leadership and wellbeing consultancy.

Proud Boys - Who are they? What do they want?Mar 21, 2023Ed Opperman interviews 'former Proud Boy' about the group, it's ethos and exactly why they are such a threat to the way of life in America.From wikipediaThe Proud Boys is an exclusively male North American far-right neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.It has been called a street gang and was designated as a terrorist group in Canada and New Zealand. The Proud Boys are known for their opposition to left-wing and progressive groups and their support for former U.S. President Donald Trump.The group originated in the far-right Taki's Magazine in 2016 under the leadership of Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes, taking its name from the song "Proud of Your Boy" from the 2011 Disney musical Aladdin.Although the Proud Boys initially emerged as part of the alt-right, McInnes distanced himself from this movement in early 2017, saying the Proud Boys were alt-lite while the alt-right's focus was on race. Donald Trump's comment, "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by," during the October 2020 presidential debates are credited with greatly increasing interest and recruitment. Enrique Tarrio, an Afro-Cuban Cuban-American, has been the chairman of the Proud Boys since late 2018. According to a former federal prosecutor and the transcripts of a 2014 federal court proceeding, Tarrio had previously served as an informant to both federal and local law enforcement.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
