In this episode, we explore the incredible journey of Jimmy Smith, who is an extremely versatile & passionate cyclist. From growing up on the big island of Hawaii & relocating to the mainland as a teenager in Springfield, MO & spending summers in Colorado, where he had the tough choice of choosing to pursue BMX or baseball. After making the choice to go all in on BMX, Jimmy realized that he could build a career for himself on the bicycle & began to fully apply himself through competing where he quickly made a name for himself in the BMX industry after a handful of promising results as contests around the country. Jimmy's transition to mountain biking led him to win the IMBA National Enduro Series in 2017 & has allowed him to ride for top bike brands like Fuji, Specialized, & now Yeti Cycles. Not just a cyclist; Jimmy has full-on embraced content creation, which helped him gain more versatile support & sponsorships. He has helped produce unique content for some of the largest brands in cycling, while also starring in the content. As he's grown in his cycling career, his interest in other cycling disciplines has also grown to include gravel & cross country riding which showcases his newfound love for long endurance challenges.We had a blast sitting down with Jimmy as he shared his inspiring story, lessons learned, & advice for aspiring athletes. He's always had such a rad 'if you want it, go get it' attitude & it's really cool to learn more about what makes him tick & what drives him to achieve his goals. Tap into this episode & Jimmy's infectious positive attitude for a dope story & some solid motivation to help you get out there & follow your dreams. Keep up with Jimmy at:https://www.instagram.com/its_jimmyorhttp://jimmysmithmtb.com_________________Enjoying the podcast?

This season on "Decoded," presented by BigCommerce, we'll delve into the intricate processes behind successful brands. Discover how they conceptualize and debut new products, set their objectives, make pivotal decisions, and foster seamless collaboration across their teams to breathe life into a new product.Ever wondered how customer service evolved from merely addressing post-purchase issues to shaping the broader, more influential customer experience? How has this shift transformed our interactions and relationships with customers? And how is customer experience becoming more proactive rather than just reactive? Dive in to uncover these insights and more. Tune in now!“You can't spell retail without AI.”{00:08:42} - “Ultimately we want those shops who we heavily rely on to sell our bikes to have that same passion, that same understanding about our bikes. And also to know, this is why the price point is where it's at too. They need to understand that.” - Matt{00:16:03} - “All these different manufacturers were rushing to get this e-bike out on the market because they wanted to capture that right off the bat. We took five years to develop that e-bike. Five years, 25 custom molds. And then we also created six different prototypes or mules, what we call them, in order to ride them, test them, try to blow them up, and see what we can do with them. And then ultimately we started racing them to see how they work and perform on the racetrack.” - Matt{00:22:06} - “How do we get people to buy something in the midst of replacing a product? That's what the AI-driven solution is for SaaS in your customer experience team. But it's not going to make your support team fanatical about the product.” - Phillip{00:26:01} - “The website is the gateway, whether it be chats, whether it be calls, whether it be emails. As recently as when I started 8 to 10 years ago at Industry West, we were still taking faxes, and so it is multichannel, but it all starts and ends with the website.” - Ian{00:32:28} - “Marketing is not any longer where you're just figuring out who your target demographic is and how you're going to communicate to them and then which media you're going to use. Marketing now is every single touchpoint that the consumer has. All of that needs to live under the marketing function.” - Ingrid{00:42:00} - “Customer experience directly is probably not involved until we are in the prototyping stage. But I say that because everything we prototype is built with the customer service team in mind.” - Kabeer{00:49:42} - “Maybe the age of AI does help you create this media with the team you already have and the insights you already have into your relationship with your customer.” - PhillipAssociated Links:Learn more about Matt Hicks and Yeti CyclesLearn more about Ian Leslie and Industry WestLearn more about Ingrid Milman Cordy and Nestle Health ScienceLearn more about Kabeer Chopra and BurrowGrab your copy of The Multiplayer Brand hereHave you checked out our YouTube channel yet?Subscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

“We've got to be the market for mountain bikers… what do WE want to ride?” Chris Conroy, President, Yeti Cycles I like mountain biking and I have a bike that when it was new, was pretty good.  My friends who are serious about mountain biking a) tease me about my bike now, and b) are super jealous that I had the President of Yeti Cycles in the studio with me! HA!  Chris Conroy and the Yeti team are passionate about building bikes for racing.  We talk about that, about differentiating the brand (racing), about marketing – and, I couldn't NOT ask him about e-bikes!  Secret: want to know the truth about whether if there's a connection between YETI bikes and YETI coolers?

This week Clint and I sat down with Justin Reiter. Justin (born February 2, 1981) is an American snowboard coach and former snowboarder. He won a silver medal in the parallel slalom at the 2013 FIS Snowboarding World Championships. He is also a ten-time national champion and was selected for the 2014 Winter Olympics, where he was the only American male to compete in the parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom. He had 100 starts in the FIS Snowboard World Cup and scored four podium finishes, including one win in Moscow in 2015 - the first win by an American in a parallel competition for a decade. Reiter also finished third in the overall parallel standings for the 2014-15 season. In September 2017 he announced his retirement. Subsequently he took up coaching: among the snowboarders he trains are Michael Trapp, Robby Burns and Ester Ledecká. Justin is also an ambassador for Yeti Cycles and Big Agnes. https://yeticycles.com/ambassadors/justin-reiter https://www.bigagnes.com/ambassadors-justin-reiter Thanks for listening!

In season two of TYTM, we're introducing The Fast Take — unfiltered and semi-spur of the moment interviews with the the Yeti Cycles race team Riche, Shawn, Kasper,  Damion and the infamous Polar Bear. And in this first installment, Marty gets to the roots of what it means to the team to be back in Europe, between the tape and pinning it for what they hope to be is another season atop of the box.

In this episode of TYTM, Marty talks with world-renowned photo documentarian Dan Milner about the niche he's carved capturing the rich social and cultural journeys that accompany his punishingly long epic rides. Dan has a unique ability to garner amazingly vivid images in an array of consequential environments and self admits to relishing in the pain cave. He’s a prime example of how to immerse yourself in culture and dive headfirst into a new environment.

Laura Slavin's journey from chemist to cyclist started on a basic commuter bike as she tried to be more environmentally conscience as her way to get to and from work. That was in 2013. Now, Laura is hucking it with the best on her home trails at Mountain Creek, New Jersey. In this episode, Marty and Laura talk about her drive to be a better person, her passion for riding and just how committed she is to the art of progression.

Marty's back with Season 02 of Talk Yeti to Me after talking with eight Yeti athletes about what it's like to live life on a bike in Season 01. Season 02 kicks off with Shawn Neer! So, as Marty Says, let's get at it and keep 'er pinned!

Yeti / FOX Factory team rider, Shawn Neer, has steadily risen towards the top of the mountain biking world earning his first Factory ride role at 27. In this episode, Marty and Shawn talk about how the perfect elbow angle, a single cup of coffee, and then a trip to Green River with a demo SB6 lead to spraying champagne on the EWS Trophy of Nations podium in Italy.

When you get down to it, Richie is not like everyone else. Quiet by most accounts, he’s loudest when riding fast. In the final episode of the inaugural season of Talk Yeti To Me, Marty chats with Richie about what it takes to win, how it feels to lose, and his race-day mindset that keeps him calm, cool, and collected. Suffice to say, he loves biking and lives life at race pace.

What a great time at the Colorado League Decade of Dirt Kickoff party at Yeti Cycles! We talked with too many interesting individuals to fit them all into one program - here's Part 1 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome mountain bikers.Sometimes things don’t always go as planned. I was lucky to spend an hour and a half with Chris Conroy and Steve Hoogendorn at the sea otter classic to knock out an Inside Line. if those names aren’t familiar to you, they’re the owners of Yeti Cycles.We posted up at a Sea Otter campsite on a gorgeous, sunny day to record the episode. Away from the crowds and chaos of the venue, without any shade, we battled sweaty armpits, were interrupted by various aircraft and walked away with a little sunburn. Despite the struggles, we had a great conversation about the Yeti brand, past, present and future.Well, it turns out that technology and blazing California sunshine don’t always get along. About 45 minutes in to our interview, the electronics started acting up, and by 55-minutes in, the laptop said, “this is too hot, i’m done,” and cut off the last 20 minutes of our conversation. Gutted.Fast forward a few weeks and an aircraft that may have been background noise and a cause of frustration in the original interview, had transported me to Golden, Colorado, and the home of Yeti Cycles.Conroy and Hoog graciously stepped up for Inside Line 2.0. While there, I was able to talk with Sarah Rawley about women in mountain biking, as well as Damien Smith, who is responsible for some of the iconic racer selections on the Yeti team over the years.I’d like to give a big thanks to Jenson USA for supporting The Inside Line. Jenson is a Yeti Cycles dealer and a great place to shop online for all things cycling-related. Use coupon code InsideLine at checkout and get 10% off qualifying items.Maxxis Tires also graciously supports this podcast, and they make the tires that you’ll find on Yeti’s line of mountain bikes. Hit up maxxis.com and make sure you have some fresh rubber this riding season.Last but not least, thank you listeners. Without your stoke, what’s the point? Enjoy the show. -gordo

I wanted to have Janette on the show because she has come up in conversation about three previous episodes, all by guests mentioning Janette as a huge influence on them. For example, that's Ash Bocast of Roam Events in the teaser quote at the top of the episode. Before even talking to her, it was clear she subscribes to the idea of women supporting each other and lifting each other up. Although we look at this through the lens of the mountain bike industry, it’s a great metaphor for life in general.  Janette is the marketing manager for Yeti Cycles, a high-end boutique mt bike brand. She has served as a mentor in the industry and is what a self-proclaimed semi-nerd, kind of in the vein of our recent show with Brendan Leonard of Semi-Rad, we will only slightly nerd out on bikes. Last year, we did a whole episode exploring if a better bike will make you a better rider and you better bet your ass it will. Janette is going to tell us how bike geometry and technology has evolved to make us better riders. I’d equate it to the advent of shape skis.  We talk about:  The culture and positioning at Yeti Cycles. Janette's own career path - and how she, like so many other Gear Show guests, has made choices based on fulfillment and happiness rather than money.  Bike geometry and technology - the evolution in the past decade. Bikes and how to choose the one for you.  So let’s listen in and gear up for what’s next.    Where to find Janette: Yeti Cycles Facebook on Instagram  BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are enjoying the shows, I hope you’ll subscribe, rate, review and share with your friends!  About Lisa Gerber: Lisa advises CEOs and senior level management on how to use the power of storytelling and effective communication to influence action and bring ideas to life.  She guides companies through the digital maze of constantly changing tools to build discovery, loyalty, and ultimately help them achieve their own big leaps.  When she is not in her office, she might be out skiing or trail running. This is where she does her best creative pproblem-solving.   To learn more about booking Lisa for consulting, speaking or workshops, visit www.bigleapcreative.com.

In this episode we catch up with Shaun Hughes – a.k.a. Polar Bear. Polar Bear has essentially been one of the silent soldiers behind the scenes, aiding several of the world's fastest mountain bike racers to victory over the last several years in downhill, enduro, and even four-cross. Shaun and I met up in Snowmass, Colorado, leading into the Whistler Enduro World Series. We chatted about how quickly he can build a wheel, got some incredible insight into the world of racing, learned a little bit of Team Yeti strategy, got some pro bike setup tips, queued into the big toolbox wars, the community of wrenches, and what Yeti Cycles means when they say something is "Race Bred." Enjoy the show! -Brandon Turman Keep up with Shaun's latest travels, race insights, and his two pups on Instagram @yetipolarbear

Brandon Turman hosts The Inside Line this week with special guest, Joey Schusler. Brandon says, "I had the pleasure of catching up with a long-time friend of mine, Joey Schusler. In recent years Joey has played a big role as a rider, director, filmer, and photographer in some truly incredible films and features that you've no doubt laid eyes on. This was recorded in Snowmass, Colorado at the 17th Annual Yeti Tribe Gathering, a multi-day get together of Yeti owners and fans in a rad location, riding bikes and having a great time. Snowmass is a place where Joey has a lot of history as a race winner, so it was only fitting that we touch on his journey from local grom to US hopeful, World Cups, World Champs, enduro racing, and how they have helped fuel the adventures he's up to today. Enjoy the show!"

Yeti Cycles should have failed and shut down. A few years ago, it was struggling… but today it’s an award-winning mountain bike brand. Plus, it’s grown 30% year over year five years in a row. In this episode, I talk to co-founder Chris Conroy about how he built the brand into a success, his tips for others, and more. Full show notes at http://okdork.com/podcast/61

Hilary Oliver is a writer, editor and filmmaker. She makes outdoor films for brands such as REI, Outdoor Research and Yeti Cycles.

Her work includes Above the Fray with Beth Rodden and How to Run 100 miles with Brandon Leonard for REI. She loves filmmaking and is driven to do it but the thing is, it doesn’t pay the bills. Don’t get me wrong, she makes money but it’s not her bread and butter. What is? Her work as a  freelance writer and editor of the Outdoor Research blog.  Today, we’re going to talk about doing your craft because you love it, not because it pays the bills. How fulfilling it is to be involved in something you love and removing the pressure of making money doing it - how that impacts the experience of making it and the outcome. Hilary will share how she broke into freelance writing and then parlayed that into film making.  But we’ll also talk about finding stories and giving voice to women in the outdoors. I hope today’s episode will inspire you if you to pursue things because you want to, not because you want to get rich doing it.
