What's up y'all!
Since my time at TGR, I've been mostly out of the content game, and have been really missing that process of starting and maintaining a conversation with y'all and others about the outdoor experience. Also since leaving TGR, I started working at a fairly progressive non profit doing a lot of work around equity and inclusion, and also got married, and then divorced, all while #MeToo and Trump was going on. As I'm sure many of you are experiencing, it's an interesting/trying time to be a man in America.
So I decided to take that conversation public. I've started a podcast, Man:age, whose aim it is to explore what a new philosophy for American masculinity might look like in the 21st century.
I just put out the third episode, which is an interview with my friend Colin Boyd, former Freeride World Tour podium snowboarder, about our shared experiences at vipassana meditation retreats.
The first episode is with Jon Desabris, and talks about the trauma he experienced from being the first responder to Sam Smoothy's horrible crash in the TGR Winterland film last season, in which he came up on a non-responsive Sam that he was certain was dead.
I've already heard from a number of mags over Facebook, Instagram, and even LinkedIn (some of you ARE respectable working professionals after all, I'm impressed haha) about their excitement for this conversation, so thank you.
If you haven't tuned in already, you can check it out at manage.podbean.com or find it on iTunes, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher.
LMK what you think! Mag who does the best flaming in this thread wins a free audio recording from yours truly of your choice.... happy birthday voicemail, a more professional-sounding voicemail message since your voice is high-pitched and nasily, whatever!

Kill all the telemarkers
But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

This is pretty well written IMO.

That's masculinity for old people. While it's great to be disciplined, creative, and all that, it's also tired trope on what a man is and puts us in a box. That's not 'wisdom', as that guys ego claims it to be, that's just stereotypes rehashed. I couldn't finish it. When I lived in MT people in the 90's so many people lived that way to be manly, most were not 'authentic' at all, they were following and doing what everyone else did. How can you be #1 and follow the rest when that shit doesn't come naturally? You learn to do the rest to fit in, which negates #1. Originally Posted by powpig
That said, those are some good building blocks of life for anyone, but people are more complicated and nuanced that that, and I think that's where younger people are sick of the trope and seeing what masculinity can be through podcasts or whatever. Good for them.

Isn’t talking about masculinity the antithesis of being masculine?
Talking about stuff is for chicks man.
