On the season two finale episode, we chat with Discrete Clothing and Cirque Series Founder Julian Carr. An accomplished skier, Carr owns a world record for doing a front-flip off a 210-foot cliff in Switzerland and sending a 140-foot cliff in a competition at Snowbird Resort. When he is not in an inverted free fall, Carr serves as an ambassador for Protect Our Winters (POW) as well as The Climate Reality Project. Born in Salt Lake City, Carr created a name for himself by skiing in seven Warren Miller films. Carr is joined by runner and copywriter Kendall Tingey to chat about personal and professional branding. Inside this episode, we hear from Carr about his background in skiing, his many accomplishments and of course, branding.
