    Outsider to Insider: Rachael Burnside on Bikes, Belonging & Finding Your People

    Rachael Burnside has spent nearly a decade in cycling marketing, and she still remembers the moment she showed up to her first industry ride and realized she didn't know what she was doing. She had the kit. She had the job. She just didn't feel like a cyclist yet. This one's for anyone who's ever stood on the outside of a group and wondered if they belong. Rachael heads PR and Social at Shift Active Media, a UK-based agency working with 25 cycling and outdoor brands across the globe, and she's also the founder of Uplift, a mentoring program for women in the cycling industry. We recorded this one live at Sea Otter, and it went a lot of places: the magic (and expense) of in-person events, what it actually feels like to get dropped on a "no-drop" ride, why solo riding is underrated, and how creating community from scratch can change everything. Highlights: 🚲 Why Sea Otter is one of the few events that bridges industry and everyday riders — and why in-person still matters 🌍 How Rachael built a career in cycling PR from Scotland to England to Sea Otter, working with 25 brands across the globe 😅 The no-drop ride that wasn't — and why calling a ride "no-drop" when it isn't sets everyone up for a bad time 🤝 Creating Uplift, a mentoring program connecting women in the cycling industry who didn't have women to look up to 🪩 On solo riding, needing alone time, and letting go of the pressure to always do things with people 💬 The freedom that comes from knowing yourself well enough to say "this one's not for me" Links & Love Follow the podcast: @tarin.it.up.podcast Newsletter: tarinitup.myflodesk.com Support the pod: buymeacoffee.com/tarinitup

    The Ride That Redefined: Mountain Biking, Spinal Cord Injury & Resilience with Annijke

    In this episode, I sit down, literally, in a hospitality room at Sea Otter Classic, with adaptive mountain biker Annijke Wade for a raw and inspiring conversation. Annijke didn't touch trails until her 30s, went pro, and then had a life-altering spinal cord injury that could have ended everything. Spoiler: it didn't. 🙌 Episode highlights: 🌄 How Annijke found mountain biking in her 30s and became a pro racer realtively quickly after🏥 The crash at Angel Fire that changed everything, and what went through her mind in those first hours🚴 Getting her adaptive Bowhead bike while still in the hospital (thanks, Pearl Izumi 🙏)🌲 The real barriers of adaptive trail access — and how that's evolved over five years🏁 Racing gravel, enduro, AND downhill this season (she's not slowing down)💪 Dirt Bound, her organization empowering para off-road cyclistsLinks & Love Follow Annijke: @geodesicdome Follow the podcast: @tarin.it.up.podcast Newsletter: tarinitup.myflodesk.com Support the pod: buymeacoffee.com/tarinitup And special shout outs to Annijke's partners: @dirtbound.cycling @paracollective.cc @bowheadcorp @untappedmaple @dharcoclothing @ergonbike

    Roots & Reinvention: Building What Fills You Up

    Allison Deschaine is back, and a lot has happened since she last joined the pod a year and a half ago. She's moved from northern Michigan to Kalamazoo, made the leap from the independent rep world into a corporate Key Account Executive role, and has now launched her own consulting business, AD Outdoor Consulting, on May 1st! In this episode, Allison breaks down the gap she identified in the outdoor industry: the space between a small emerging brand going direct-to-consumer and being ready for a sales rep agency. Her consulting business is designed to bridge that gap — helping purpose-led and women-owned brands understand their margins, build killer line sheets, navigate trade shows, develop CRM systems, and actually get (and keep) shelf space in specialty retail. We also get into the big stuff: the untraditional paths we've both taken through the outdoor industry, why a non-linear resume isn't a liability, the real ROI of paying for expertise before you make costly mistakes, and how self-discovery keeps leading us somewhere better than we planned. Plus, Allison shares how she's staying grounded going into a busy season, and spoiler, it involves a garden with five beds and a lot of yoga. If you're a small brand trying to figure out your wholesale strategy, this one is for you. And if you're someone who's ever wondered whether you're supposed to do just one thing forever — yeah, this one's for you too. In This Episode We Talk About: Why Allison is launching AD Outdoor Consulting and what inspired itHow her career paths through the outdoor industry — from Alaska to floor sales to corporate — gave her a multi-lens view most people don't haveWhy a non-linear resume looks like chaos on paper but is actually a superpower How Allison is balancing a full-time job, a new business, a garden, and her sanityBuilding a slow burn instead of chasing an explosionThe therapy, yoga, journaling, and self-reflection that led Allison to this momentThe missing step between DTC and hiring a sales rep — and why it matters so much for emerging brandsWhat reps actually need from a brand to be successful (and why brands don't always know)Helping music industry clients too — because small bands and small brands have more in common than you'd thinkLinks & Love Allison: Website: adoutdoorconsulting.comInstagram: @adoutdoorconsulting LinkedIn: Allison DeschaineThe Pod: Follow the podcast: @tarin.it.up.podcast Newsletter: tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup)Support the pod: buymeacoffee.com/tarinitup

    Rock Bottom on Kilimanjaro: How S****y Leggings Built a Brand

    Arwen Turner and Kara Hardman of Thicket Adventure are back on the pod for a full conversation after their first appearance in the Title Nine PitchFest series. These two Vermont-based founders are on a mission to make plus-size outdoor apparel that actually performs, and the conversation goes way beyond pants. We get into the real story behind Thicket: Kara signing up to climb Kilimanjaro with 19 other plus-size adventurers before she even knew where it was on a map, Arwen's "feral dirt child" upbringing in the Sierra Nevada and her journey back to feeling like the outdoors was for her, and the four years of R&D it took to engineer the Brecken Pant — their flagship product built specifically for plus-size bodies. We also talk about the frustrating reality of shopping for outdoor gear at any size, body grief and the changes that happen throughout our lives, and why brands extending sizes without actually designing for them is just checking a box. In This Episode: What "plus size" means in the apparel world and the midsize gapHow Thicket sizes to match Lane Bryant and Torrid so online ordering is less of a guessing gameThe 4-year design process behind the Brecken Pant — yoga waistband, dual fabric weights, four pockets, roll tabs, and moreThe Booty Fit vs. the Belly Fit and how to know which one is yoursWhat's coming next: the Joey Pant, a wider-calf fit option, and hiking/mountain biking shortsTwo new colors dropping in July: Off Grid (black) and a sage greenTheir crowdsourced approach to color naming and community buildingComing Soon from Thicket: Joey Pant — lighter, one-fabric, day hike to brunch versatilityWide-calf fit optionShorts Links & Love Thicket Adventures: Website: thicketadventure.comInstagram: @thicketadventurePod Connections Follow the podcast: ⁠@tarin.it.up.podcast⁠Newsletter: ⁠tarinitup.myflodesk.com⁠Support the pod: ⁠buymeacoffee.com/tarinitup

    Boulder Breaks & Baby Naps: Freelancing, Motherhood & Making It Work

    What does it actually look like to build a career when nothing fits in a clean, perfect box? In this episode, I’m chatting with Lauren, writer, marketer, climber, and mom. who’s pieced together a career in the outdoor industry on her own terms. From freelancing right out of college to working in climbing gyms, writing for brands, and now balancing it all with motherhood, her path is anything but linear. We get into imposter syndrome, starting later than you think you should, and why not having a “traditional” background in the outdoors doesn’t mean you don’t belong. We also talk about the reality of freelancing, multiple income streams, inconsistent work, and figuring it out as you go, and what it looks like to make that sustainable over time. On top of that, we talk about the mental side of it all: creative burnout, trying to force productivity when it’s just not there, and learning how to actually take time for yourself without guilt. Highlights 🧗‍♀️ Getting into the outdoor industry without growing up in it 🧠 Imposter syndrome and feeling “behind” (even when you’re not) 💻 Freelancing right out of college—and what it really takes 🧩 Piecing together multiple income streams to make a career 👶 Balancing creative work and motherhood (without losing yourself) ⏰ Why “free time” doesn’t always mean productive time 🤝 Making friends as an adult (and why it’s harder than it should be) 🔄 When your passion becomes work—and how to avoid burnout Follow Lauren: Website: laurenloria.com Instagram: @laurenloriacreative Follow the pod: IG: https://www.instagram.com/tarin.it.up.podcast/ Newsletter: https://tarinitup.myflodesk.com/tarinitup

    Reclaiming My Expertise: Why I'm Done Outsourcing My Authority

    Full disclosure — I almost didn't post this because I was worried it would come across as arrogant. And then I realized that hesitation is literally what this episode is about. Tips & Tiddybits is back — and this first one is personal. After years of being the connector, the interviewer, the one who amplifies everyone else, I realized I'd been quietly outsourcing my own authority. Deferring to others. Undercounting what I've actually built and lived. This episode is about reclaiming that, and why you probably need to hear it too. If you didn't know, now you know. Highlights 🎙️ Why Tips & Tiddybits is back and what to expect going forward 🤫 What outsourcing your authority actually looks like — and why it feels like humility 💭 The difference between genuinely learning from others and hiding behind them 🏔️ My background across the outdoor industry — guide, sales, marketing, training, and more 🏅 Reclaiming the athlete identity after team sports ends 📱 The real reason I've held back on social — and why I'm done letting it stop me 🗺️ Why a non-linear resume isn't a liability — it's a through line ✅ Three questions to help you reclaim your own expertise Links & Love Follow the podcast: @tarin.it.up.podcast Newsletter: tarinitup.myflodesk.com Support the pod: buymeacoffee.com/tarinitup

    Starting Before Your Ready: Second Chances on the Trail

    This one isn’t just about gear. Jess and I got into everything from trail running gear (and why it’s not as cheap as people think) to what it actually looks like to take an idea and run with it, even when you don’t have it all dialed. Jess is the founder of Take Two Trail, a platform focused on keeping trail running gear out of landfills and making the sport more accessible. But this goes way beyond buying and selling used gear. It’s about how we use what we have, how we move through outdoor spaces, and how we take action instead of waiting until everything feels “ready.” We talked about gear trial and error, the reality of starting something from scratch, and how one idea turned into something real. Highlights 💸 Why trail running isn’t actually a “cheap” sport ♻️ Where gear actually ends up (and why that matters) 👟 How Take Two Trail is making the sport more accessible 🧠 “You don’t need to know everything to start” 🔁 The trial-and-error of finding gear that actually works 🚀 What it looked like to build this from the ground up 🏃‍♀️ Staying connected to a sport as your role evolves 💩 Trail running realities…including bathroom logistics 🔗 Connect with Jess + Take Two Trail Website: https://taketwotrail.com Instagram: @take2trail Jes: @jesrunsalot Buy gear.
