Out of Collective Podcast – E17 – Revel Bikes w/ Adam Miller

Adam Miller is the founder and CEO of Revel Bikes, and his journey is quite fascinating. In this episode, we discuss how Adam started the company, sold it, and then, just a short time later, bought it back to save it from foreclosure. It was a lot of fun to dive into the business side of the bike industry, contrasting it with the more glamorous aspects we usually cover.  Adam also reveals a little secret coming (back) to Revel bikes…

Out Of Collective Podcast – EP13 – ENCORE: Hank Stowers

This is an ENCORE presentation of an episode previously recorded in December 2024.

Hank Stowers is a professional skier, athlete, and advocate who’s breaking barriers both on and off the slopes. Known for their fearless approach to skiing, Hank’s career has often been defined by his adventures on Mount Hood, a playground for freestyle skiing and big mountain lines. But it’s their impact off the mountain that’s truly setting them apart.

A passionate advocate for diversity, sustainability, and inclusivity in the ski world, Hank is actively working to reshape the industry and culture surrounding the sport. They’re a strong voice for underrepresented communities in skiing and are helping to shift the narrative to one that values people, the environment, and the culture as much as the adrenaline rush.

As an innovator in ski media, Hank is changing the way we experience and engage with skiing content. Through their own media projects, collaborations, and a commitment to authentic storytelling, they’re creating new opportunities for diverse perspectives and fresh voices in the ski world. Hank’s approach to ski media reflects their belief that the sport is about more than just the thrill – it’s a lifestyle, a community, and a powerful platform for positive change.

Whether they’re carving down a mountain or challenging the status quo, Hank Stowers is a true pioneer of the ski industry, constantly evolving the conversation around skiing, media, and culture.

Sponsors: Diamant Skiing – Diamant Skiing was born with a bold vision: to redefine the very essence of winter travel. We firmly hold that the adventure to the mountains commences not upon arrival, but from the moment the choice is made to go. Our gear stands as a constant companion, accompanying you from the airplane to the slopes and every step in between, ensuring every adventure is seamless and unforgettable.

Out of Collective Podcast – E10 – Journalism will never Die w/ Izzy Lidsky

The way we cover events is changing rapidly and fundamentally. Traditional, scheduled news cycles have been replaced by continuous, real-time updates across social media and digital platforms. Journalists are no longer the sole narrators—citizens, influencers, and eyewitnesses often break stories first. Visual and interactive formats like short videos, livestreams, and infographics are overtaking text-based reporting, while emotional storytelling and viral potential now shape how stories are framed. Artificial intelligence is increasingly woven into the news process, assisting with writing, fact-checking, and even content generation. With a global, always-on audience and growing concerns about misinformation and deepfakes, media coverage today is faster, more democratized, and more complex than ever before. (THIS WAS WRITTEN WITH AI) … But Izzy Lidsky and I chat IRL about what events look like, what the coverage will be and what we hope it will look like in the future.
