Breaking Trail

Breaking Trail. Every other week, Lisa Gerber talks to people who are working to make the world more habitable, more humane, and more loving. In the words of author and environmentalist David Orr, they are the “peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind” that this world needs so desperately. Through their stories, we cover themes of hope, courage, and action. This is a show for people who want to contribute to the world rather than take from it. We are living life on our own terms, defining our own version of success. We are breaking trail. Interested in being a guest?

I have some year- end/year-beginning inspiration for you today!

Ash started Roam Events with her savings and retirement plan. She was literally all in. And she took some calculated risks along the way to bring something new to the market - women specific bike events held around the country partnering with the top outdoor and bicycle brands. We’re going to take a peek into how she thought creatively to make things happen, what goes into creating and managing events, and building no BS, values-driven business along with a pretty rich and fulfilling life. 

 

Life lessons in today’s conversation:

  • Unique companies bring a unique combination of experiences to them. 
  • Say yes to adventure
  • Come from a genuine place in business in whatever you do - seriously, the good guys (gals) do come out on top. 

 

You can find Ash at Roam Events.

Want to do me a huge favor?

Reviewing and sharing are the most helpful ways to get this in front of new listeners.

Also, I really want to hear from you – questions, topic and guest suggestions, anything.

 

Thanks!

Mark Paulsen took an NFL career and evolved it into a passion - nutrition to not only improve athletic performance, but so we can all have a long and productive life. He founded The Wilderness Athlete, the authority on Outdoor Performance Nutrition®, to accomplish this mission and he has a great deal of wisdom to drop on us today. 

We start by going behind the scenes in launching a nutrition and supplements products company from scratch and what that looks like, get a peek into the good and bad in that industry and what to look for. He’s going to talk about muscle management and throwing the scale away. Wait for the discount code for listeners of this podcast - he wants to give all gear show fans a 20% discount. ok, i won’t make you wait. The code is GEARSHOW. After our conversation, he sent me a few things - the green infusion which tastes really good and makes me feel like I’m getting tons of nutrients. The hydrate and recover drink is strawberry pomegranate and is awesome. 

One last thing, I wanted to thank our mutual friend Steve Mckee for introducing us - if you have a guest or topic suggestion, please visit me at www.thegearshow.com

Let’s listen on and gear up for what’s next

Listen, the first thing when it comes to comfort zones are your feet. Because if you don't have happy feet, how can you possible be happy?

Today due to some technical difficulties but far from being a “backup plan,” we are rerunning one the very first episodes of The Gear Show, a nice chat with friend and former Exum mountain guide Brian Harder about backcountry skiing, exiting out of the comfort zone and the most brutal of all tasks, finding the right alpine touring boots -

What features should you look for given your objectives? Do number of buckles matter? What about weight? He also shares some trusted resources and great boot shops.

 

We’ll also discuss:

  • More on weird feet and what to do.
  • Skiing ability and objectives
  • Features like buckles, weight, warmth
  • Favorite shop and resources to discuss boots

 

This is part one in a series of three so if you like it, scroll back to episode 2 and 3 for discussions on skis and bindings.

With that, let’s listen up and gear up for what’s next.
