Eric Larsen travels to wild and specifically cold places to cast a spotlight on climate change and the melting Arctic. Today, we will have a bigger conversation about adventure.
Breaking Trail
Every other week, Lisa Gerber talks to people who are working to make the world more habitable, more humane, and more loving. In the words of author and environmentalist David Orr, they are the “peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind” that this world needs so desperately. Through their stories, we cover themes of hope, courage, and action. This is a show for people who want to contribute to the world rather than take from it. We are living life on our own terms, defining our own version of success. We are breaking trail.

Charlotte Massey is Dismantling the Pant Patriarchy
Charlotte Massey, Georgia Grace, and Bianca Gonzalez are redesigning pants so they work for women’s bodies. It sounds silly that no one has addressed this issue before. Why not? Charlotte Massey joins today, and she’s going to walk us through a little fashion history, something we don’t often discuss here at the Gear Show. We’ll discover how three women in college have come together to solve a problem and take an essential step in making the outdoors more inclusive by making it easier for women to “go to the bathroom.”
Jeannine Anders | Mountain Biking as Panacea
Jeannine Anders followed “The Call” to Colorado 15 years ago where she settled in the Vail Valley. Many of us have heard a similar call – one to the mountains, right? She held a career in sales while pursuing her passion for cycling. She’s competed in over 20 ultra-endurance mountain bike races including multiple 100-mile, 12- and 25-hour solo races as well as a multi-day stage race through the Swiss Alps. She eventually joined the board for the non-profit, Sacred Cycle, while managing their race team and helping to spread their mission which is to empower survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault through therapy and mountain biking, creating a sacred cycle of recovery, personal development, and community impact.

Shelley knew she wanted to be a writer at a young age but how could she make a living doing it? She found a way and today is all about making dreams happen.
She quit her job as a medical journalist, moved to France for a short period and wrote a book. By the way, she had never written a book of fiction before and had no idea how to do it.
