    Greg Lutzka, Pro Skateboarder, Entrepreneur

    Greg Lutzka has had a long skateboarding career that has taken him worldwide, but Greg is so much more than just a skateboarder.

    DEC 9

    McKenna Peterson, Pro Skier, Commercial Fishing Captain

    McKenna Peterson is a pro skier, that’s rad, but being the captain of the Atlantis and an Alaskan Commercial Fisherman is what separates her badassery from the rest of the pro ski world. Born into a ski bum family, McKenna had early Olympic dreams, but racing never materialized for her. Neither did big mountain contests, but they helped McKenna find her tribe, and she was able to parlay that into a 15-year career of pro skiing in the winter and Captain in the summer. On the podcast, we talk Sun Valley, racing, partying, opportunities, Crazy Karl, and so much more. Amie Engerbretson asks the ‘Inappropriate Questions’. McKenna Peterson Show Notes: 4:00:  Cell phones, Knee injury, telling sponsors, contracts and money, sexism in the water and on the mountain and her ski bum parents. 21:00:  Insta360 Video Cameras: Buy the X4, at checkout, use the code Powell and get a free ski pole or snowboard split board pole mount Stanley:  The brand that invented the category!

    Branden Steineckert, Drummer, Rancid, The Used

    Branden Steineckert was a founding member of The Used and the driving force behind the band until the guitarist kicked him out for being sober in 2006. While that could crush a man, Branden dove onto wakesurfing for a couple of months and came out the other side as the drummer for Rancid, which has been his job for the past 18 years. While that’s worthy of its own podcast, we spend a lot of time talking about his heavy childhood in Utah and using skateboarding as an escape. On the podcast, we talk about Ken Block, Tony Hawk, music, his Ghost Pickleball brand, and much more.

    TPM Episode 406: Lou Dawson, Legendary Ski Mountaineer, Author

    Lou Dawson is one of the most accomplished ski mountaineers in the US, but he’s so much more than that.
