This week we have Mallory Ottariano, founder of Youer, an apparel company Based out of Missoula, Montana. Youer is more than a clothing company though. They are on a mission to change the industry and the way people believe in themselves. The Youer team believes that confident people go out and change the world and it’s their job to provide you with the tools to do so!

Mallory shares her journey from architecture and design to starting her own, hand-made apparel company, and traveling all over the country slanging her clothes at events. She always had a passion for fashion and being unique by putting her own spin on trends. We talk about clothing as a form of self-expression and the power it holds in making us feel incredible or terrible about ourselves.

We also chat about the need for mindful consumerism and the impact of clothing on the environment. Mallory highlights the challenges and advantages of manufacturing in the US, including the ability to maintain quality control and support local communities. All of Youer’s pieces are printed, cut, and sewn in the U.S.A. and many of their fabrics are made here as well. In fact, a majority of their product is made in Missoula at the Youniverse, their very own factory! They just opened a brand new spot, if you are in Missoula, you have to check it out!

Heather Kelly of Heather’s Choice is back with Tarin, this time, IN PERSON! It was such a cool experience to get to record in person and to have Heather back to give us an update since her first episode in February. A lot has happened for her and the business since then, like an appearance on Shark Tank! Heather’s Choice is continuing to grow and we dive into the challenges small businesses face with raising capital, fundraising, cash flow, and simply staying afloat.

Heather has been boots to the ground since day 1 of her company. She is full of grit and perseverance. Her soul is wild and she is not willing to compromise her true value to make a buck. Heather is one of the more inspiring businesswomen I have had the pleasure to meet. She makes you believe that if you follow your heart and try your damnedest, it will be worth it in the end. We hope this episode inspires you to do just that ❤️

Hey there! Welcome to…we don’t really know yet, but it will be fun! Join us for our new podcast ride as two clumsy besties shoot the shit, aim for a few laughs, and try to not destroy everything in our paths. Tune in weekly

Today we have a great conversation with fellow outdoor enthusiast, Allison Deschaine. Tarin and Allison discuss their very similar paths with exploring “non-traditional” job options after college. In fact, both were in Alaska the same year working in the same industry as one of their first gigs in the outdoor industry!

We talk about taking these “alternative” paths and how even in your mid-thirties (or any age!), it’s ok to change it up and try something new. Especially if something isn’t working for you, even if it was/is the business you built. The outdoor industry is talked about a lot, specifically repping and buying as Allison has experience through both those realms. Through this conversation we hope to relate to anyone feeling like they aren’t on the traditional path and are unsure about what their “forever” career is, or if that even exists. We also hope to encourage supporting small businesses and women in the industry!

This week gets deeeep with our guest, Sam Ryan. We met Sam at the Sturdy Dirty and hit it off instantly. Our conversation covers so many topics from raising kiddos to experiencing the best bike party in the desert, Roam Fest.

Sam gets incredibly vulnerable sharing her story of realizing her late-in-life lesbian identity. Her realization of this and the changes she made take incredible courage. We hope that this convo can relate to anyone out there who is at a point in life of feeling a major change happening, or one that needs to happen. This can range from change in relationships – friends, family, romantic – to career changes. It’s not all about the courage in coming out, it’s about the courage to change a piece of your identity. Many of us often identify too much with external things that are not actual a piece of us. They don’t change or make who we are at our core. It’s ok to change your path in life. It’s not always easy, but it is ok.

Today’s episode talks about the tiny steps it takes to make a leap of faith. It’s not always a blind jump off of a cliff and it’s perfectly fine to take time to find your footing and change direction. Anastasia Allison, founder of Kula Cloth, shares how when she was younger and looking for validation from the outside, she did what she thought she “should”. Limiting beliefs kept her dreams dormant until looking the biggest fear, or what should have been, straight in the eyes.

This moment impacted her for a long time and eventually helped her take small steps to discover what she truly wanted to do in life. Her vision became clearer and she started to see things differently and have new doors open. Kula Cloth was born out of passion, a true need, and love for the outdoors.

Hello you fine & fancy folks! This week we catch up on life since the Sturdy and announce the start of our 3rd annual August Strava challenge! We don’t look at this as a “challenge” but more as an accountability group to get out and have as many adventures possible in this last full month of summer. How many miles can you stack up doing literally any activity you want!?
