  • TPM Episode 458: Matt Reardon, Pro skier, Musician, Part 2

  • TPM Episode 457: Matt Reardon, Pro Skier, Rockstar
    Matt Reardon was born and raised in Louisiana, not the place you'd expect a longtime pro skier to grow up. But Matt isn't just a skier; he's a talented musician, a onetime frontman, who toured the world to shred his guitar and fresh powder.  The crazy thing is, Matt can trace his life and times today back to two events that happened prior to high school: seeing Van Halen live and then seeing "Hot Dog, The Movie". Those two things changed Matt's life. On part 1 of his podcast we talk about those events, getting into skiing, Tahoe, Europe, and so much more. Chris "Uncle E" Ernst asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • TPM Episode 456: Simon Hillis, Pro Skier
    Simon Hillis is the best Indonesian skier to ever slide on snow and has been sponsored since he was 4 years old. While both of those things are crazy to think about, Simon also had his first cover at 7, he's never paid for anything ski-wise, and while skiing isn't totally paying his bills these days, they have over the past 20 plus years of his sponsored skier career.  From winning contests to filming with Warren Miller and TGR, Simon is where he is because of his insane talent that he developed at Red Mountain, not marketing or flashiness.  Simon Hillis Show Notes: 4:00: Marko Shapiro, sponsored at 4, his recent cover shot, the pressure of being the best Indonesian skier ever born, Red Mountain, video inspiration, a bad Pettit comparison 19:00: Therm-ic Heated Socks: The branded that invented Heated Socks Stanley:  The brand that invented the category!

  • TPM Episode 455: Jess Hotter, Pro Skier FWT World Champion
    Jess Hotter is the 2022 Freeride World Tour Champion and a fixture in ski movies but Jess wasn't a ski prodigy or anything like that when she was coming up. She had a ski life and future that screamed "liftie" but Jess wasn't going to settle for that. An initial push from her parents for a post high school gap year in Canada, created a ski journey that has had Jess living in more world class resorts than almost anyone on the podcast...All before she achieved her pro ski success. Jess played the long game, surrounded herself with what she loved, and it all worked out in the end. Yes, life can be that easy if you're as hard working and passionate as Jess. Australian legend Anna Segal asks the Inappropriate Questions.

  • TPM Episode 454: Shawn Robertson, Legendary Skater
    Shawn Robertson is up there with the most naturally gifted athletes I've ever worked with. At 13, he was throwing an 80 mph fastball and dominating team sports, then he found inline and rode that rocketship. By the time he was 15, he left Texas on his first plane ever and within months, he was traveling the world, winning contests and putting out incredible street parts all in the name of skating. Now, the poor kid from Texas had all the things thanks to a Levis Sponsorship, working with GAP, plus all the core skate brands. Shawn had "it" and could do anything and still command respect. But an injury, combined with no insurance, forced Shawn to pivot to professional frisbee golf among other things. Fellow wild Texas skater, Ryan Dawes asks the Inappropriate Questions. This is one of my favorite people and episodes.  Shawn Robertson Show Notes: 4:00: Willie Nelscon's Tour Bus, growing up around substances, family of athletes, not having money, rollerblading, older kids, Hoax 2, and Jon Julio 22:00: Liquid Force, Feel the Pull and get 15% off your LF Purchase by using the code Powell15 at checkout Stanley:  The brand that invented the category!
