Second Nature Turns 50!
A big milestone for the podcast, plus a discussion with the Founder of SENDY and the future of Outdoor Gear.
50 Kilometers, 50 Miles, 50 Episodes
I realized today that Dylan and I have celebrated 50 kilometers (my first trail race), 50 miles (my most recent ultra) and now…50 episodes of the Second Nature podcast. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who has joined us so far on this journey. We are just getting started and we are so grateful that you’re here with us. - Aaron
How SENDY Is Closing The Loop On Outdoor Gear
Ian deQueiroz founded SENDY with action sports icons Travis Rice and Cameron Zink, and it's a platform where outdoor enthusiasts can buy or rent gear for nearly every outdoor activity imaginable. But there is so much more to this process than just posting up a buy/sell forum with gear, and Ian shares a mountain of insights about finding the right partners, technical stack, and maintaining community.
Second Nature Turns 50!
We made it! 50 episodes deep and we are just getting started. To celebrate this milestone, Dylan and Aaron fielded 10 questions from the Slack Channel for this special edition "Ask Me Anything" episode.
