• TPM Episode 347: Cameron Talbott, Pro Skater

  Cameron Talbott is getting his first pro skate this week. What’s crazy is that Cam is 37 years old, and while he was a sponsored am for a long time, he didn’t achieve pro status until he was 25. While that’s impressive, what’s even more impressive are the hammers and creativity that define his skating. Not too bad for a kid who came up with nothing in Missoula, Montana. On the podcast, we talk about growing up with less, his badass mom, finding community in skating, SF, Valo, and so much more. It’s a good one, with a double dose of Inappropriate Questions featuring Erick Garcia and Tom Hyser. Cameron Talbott Show Notes: 4:00:  Being related to the Marlboro Man, snowboarding, his family situation, his badass mom, abuse, getting inline, community, California, and getting in Daily Bread at 15 21:00:   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!

• TPM Episode 434: Klaus Obermeyer, Inventor, Entrepreneur, Legend

  Klaus Obermeyer has had a bigger impact on skiing than any man alive, and when he wasn’t innovating the sport, he was in Aspen or traveling the world to ski. He was often found surrounded by a harem of beautiful women.  Klaus’s incredible story started 105 years ago in Hitler’s Germany where he was shot by Nazis trying to escape on his skis. From there, he came to America with nothing and eventually became one of the biggest business moguls in skiing. In part 1 of the pod-cast, we talk about making his skis, life in Nazi Germany, moving to the US with $10, Sun Valley, Warren Miller, and much more. This is mandatory listening with a wise man who’s lived more than almost anyone.  Klaus Obermeyer Show Notes: 4:00:  Being surrounded by beautiful women, skiing, and yodeling 16:00:  Liquid Force: Feel the Pull with the 2025 line and get 15% off with the code Powell15 Stanley:  The brand that invented the category!

• TPM Episode 433: Garrett McNamara, Big Wave Surfer

  Garrett McNamara is a world record-breaking big wave surfer and one of the pioneers of sport. What’s crazy about Garrett’s story is that while he achieved pro surfer status early on, his career didn’t take off until his mid to late 30's when he became infatuated with riding giant waves. And then it exploded to the point where now, at 55, he’s launching his 3rd Season of  his “100 Foot Wave” series with HBO. On the podcast, we talk about growing up in cults, Hawaii, being there for the beginning of tow-in surfing, being big in Japan, Northshore (the movie) his HBO series, and much more. It’s another interesting one with a legend.
