When you can't find the community you're searching for, you create it yourself. We're joined this week by Perry Cohen, Executive Director and Founder of The Venture Out Project. Perry talks about providing a safe community for TVOP participants, how outdoor brands can move beyond the gender binary, and how nature helped him feel comfortable in his body for the first time.

That’s what Amelia Leme did when she launched @manathreads, and she tells her story on the show this week. Amelia talks about making a change in the textile industry, building her business network from scratch, and “MANAfesting” her way to success. Amelia’s positive energy shines through in this episode and she’ll leave you inspired to crush your goals.

Uri discusses fueling with real food, how to properly recover from a day shredding or shooting, and her thoughts on the new word of the month, manifestation.

Life as a professional athlete looks a lot different than it did 20 years ago. In conjunction with last week's interview with photographer Andrew Chad, this week's guest has experience on the other side of the lens - professional big mountain skier Corey Seemann. Corey shares his perspective on being an athlete in the social media age, what he looks for in athlete-photographer relationships, and living a life of risk. Corey doesn't hold back and gives us a glimpse into the importance of negotiation when beginning new creative relationships.
