from Sports + Outdoor Mentors · host Dan Trapp

From challenging the dominance of other sports brands to building authentic values in a world of marketing hype, ex-Campers, Sito reveals the uncomfortable truths about brand building that most executives won't admit. Discover why being "normal" is actually radical, how trail running shaped a business philosophy, and the unexpected influence of ultra-running legend Kylian Jornet on building a disruptive outdoor brand. Plus, the strategic moves behind launching a company that refuses to play by industry rules. This isn't your typical founder story; it's a masterclass in disruption from someone who's betting everything on doing things differently.
