Built on Passion

Josh sits down with Coalition Snow co-founder Jennifer Gurecki. Although women's skis and snowboards have been available for quite sometime, rarely has a brand ever taken such a large leap passed the shrink it and pink it approach to building women's skis and snowboards; until Coalition Snow was born. With the spark of a simple conversation during a backcountry ski trip Jen was given the idea to start a ski company to fill in a serious gap in the snow industry and, absolutely ran with it! Join us as Jen walks us through Coalition’s humble beginnings to their beginings of rocking the boat of the ski and snowboard industry.

To find out more behind how BLDG Active got its start and what’s in store for the future, Josh interviews BLDG Active founder, Justin Gardner. BLDG Active is NOT your average skin repair or first aid product but, it is certainly something that everyone should have. Before officially starting BLDG, Justin had been working on getting what we now recognize as BLDG into hospitals and specifically for hospital use. After frequently taking home some samples for personal use and as a supplemental first aid product during his outdoor excursions he began to completely rethink whose hands his product should truly be in. Now BLDG isn’t just something that can be exclusively found in hospitals but something Justin hopes will be in every home and on every adventure.

Josh sits down with Butora Co-Owner Bradley Hilbert. Bradley was bitten by the travel bug long before he was bitten by the climbing bug once he moved to South Korea. It would be halfway around the world when he would meet up with his partners and the founder of what is now known as Butora. In this episode of the ReddyYeti Podcast we follow along as Brad shares his journey with us and gives us a play-by-play of one of the most revolutionary and comfortable climbing shoes we’ve seen in awhile.

Josh sits down with Ansel founder Christian McLeod. Christian’s journey towards starting a horizontal growth company, Ansel was by no means linear. Starting as a photographer, Christian was able to go on a great deal of adventures and journeys before the idea of Ansel would come anywhere near his radar. It wasn’t until he  had his gear stolen that he would begin his journey to starting his own company and developing a brand. In this week's episode, Christian gives sits down and shares with us how a simple gofundme project became the spark that would plunge him into building Ansel and how his amazing outlook on work/life balance has kept him smiling the entire time.
