The Outdoor Industry's Biggest Emerging Market
And behind the scenes of the adventure travel industry...
Starting Line
We were extremely overdue for another BroPod, the past few months have been absolute mayhem for both Dylan and Aaron, and the list of topics to catch up on had gotten too long. Perfect opportunity to share our experiences in China, hosting the WSER livestream, and plenty more. Building on that, we welcomed Leigh Barnes on the pod to chat through the industry of adventure travel. We hope you love both conversations this week as much as we did!

Dylan and Aaron get back together for a catch-up after Aaron's latest trip to China. Outdoor sports are booming over there and brands are taking notice. In this conversation, Aaron shares all of his notes from everything he saw over there - and a glimpse into the future.

Imagine running a travel agency in the year 2020 - and not only surviving, but finding new ways to continue growing the business. Travel is something that connects everyone in the outdoor industry (and beyond), and in this conversation, Leigh gives us a behind-the-scenes look at one of the largest adventure travel agencies in the world.
