How Outdoor Entrepreneurs Find Community And Support
And the countdown to TrailCon is on! Less than a week!
Starting Line
TrailCon is less than a week away! We can’t wait to see so many of you there, please don’t be shy - let’s throw some high fives and talk about the business of the outdoor industry in real life!
If you’re not already in our Slack channel, there are some great conversations going on this week - but also a handful of full-time jobs and contract gigs being offered directly to those looking. If you’re not already in there, it could be the move.
How Outdoor Entrepreneurs Find Community And Support
Katie Doherty and Emily Holland have created something special with Founded Outdoors - a place for entrepreneurs in the outdoor industry to connect, learn, and grow. With a front row seat to the journeys of outdoor founders and entrepreneurs, Katie and Emily shared plenty of insight, stories, and inspiration during this conversation.
Article Of The Week
This week’s Semi-Rad article was just what we needed:
Show Notes
BPC - Brand, Product, Content
👉 Coalition Snow Newsletter: Katie shared her favorite newsletter (other than this one, right?) in the industry. Jen Gurecki, the CEO of Coalition, interviews other entrepreneurs in the outdoor space, shares news and opinions, and plenty more!
🏄♂️ The Surf Bag: Waterproof bags (for surfing and other submerged activities) made from discarded life vests, check these out - these look rad!
🤣 HT Hayes Reaction Videos: Not every BPC needs to be serious business, sometimes we need to have a laugh. Emily shared a fun pop-culture reaction video channel, which begs the question: when are we going to see the reaction video trend appear in the outdoor industry?
🎥 Reel Rock Film Festival: One of the best - and longest running - outdoor film festivals is on! Check out the link for more information on this year’s offerings.
🏆 Momentous Sleep Pouch: Aaron scored a 35% discount link for Second Nature listeners if you want to test out his sleep protocol (or stock up on protein, creatine, or anything else in their lineup). The sleep pouches made a HUGE difference in the quality of his sleep, boosting his Oura Ring sleep stats through the roof!
Thank You
We’re looking forward to seeing many of you next week at TrailCon - and can’t wait to share next week’s podcast conversation with the one and only Mario Fraioli with you. Stay tuned!
