TPM Episode 453: Jamie Starr, Ski Industry Marketing Leader/Lawyer

Jamie Starr has had more great jobs in the ski industry than most guests I've had on the show. Really, he was born to be a part of this industry. Growing up in Crested Butte taught Jamie a love of the mountains and understanding of what it takes to make non-traditional athletes tick, which all helped him in his later endeavors.  But what drove Jamie was a passion to not only be the best, but to do good and really make a difference in the world.  On the podcast we talk about law school, his incredible career with brands like The North Face, Spyder, DPS, Pomoca, how to handle athlete loss, and more.  It's a business episode with one of the few lawyers I've had on the podcast.
