Dead last. First mountain bike race series. Everyone else is gone. Philip Tavell stayed in it — and kept climbing. That determination built a career: VP of Outdoor and Ski at Helly Hansen, now Director of Brand at Dynafit.

Today we're not talking kit. We're talking about what it actually takes to stay in the game when it's hard — in sport, in business, in parenting.

Philip, welcome to Light the Fuse.
