The Future Of Race Teams
The Future Of Race Teams
Galaxy Brain ideas about how a new factory racing team might be formed. Plus, insights from a product wizard who makes an impact on the movement of millions.
Starting Line
We covered quite a bit this week, between an in-depth discussion with Maris Jameson from Oura and a Bro Pod from the sunny shores of Hawaii. Dylan and Aaron had a great Galaxy Brain session around how a new factory race team might come together - and how the goals could be completely redefined for the future of team structures.
Compassionate Product Design
Maris Jameson joins us on the pod to talk about her north star and how the idea of making movement accessible to everyone fits into product design. As the lead for some of the most groundbreaking features at Oura Ring (and other movement apps that you may have used in the past), her insight is fascinating. This is a look “behind the scenes” of product design worth checking out.
Factory vs Privateer: Evolving Team Models
On this week’s “Bro Pod”, Dylan and Aaron run through the latest news from Arc’Teryx and then dig into the differences between Factory and Privateer race setups - and what a Freetrail Factory Team might look like in the future. While exchanging ideas for the Galaxy Brain segment, they build out a vision of what could be the future of factory sponsorship beyond the race course.

SEEQ - Protein Mix That Tastes Like Kool-Aid Tired of choking down protein milkshakes after a workout? Aaron found this solution and has been using it for the past year with good results. Protein mixes with the consistency (and flavor) of Kool-Aid. Highly recommended.
