Building Relationships in Action Sports

Why We Ride Podcast ·

2022/12/01

I believe one of the most overlooked opportunities in an Action Sports career is relationship building. I have fallen short so many times in my career with relationships. From missed opportunities because I didn't believe (at the time) there was value in spending my time with individuals to completely leaving a door wide open and not stepping through because I didn't know how to overcome a personal challenge.Today my hope is that this episode will help move the needle in your life. I KNOW

"I always knew I was going to be doing some things, in a specific niche". We all have a passion for the industry. We absolutely love doing what we do.

2022/11/03

"Someone recommended I try riding a Snowbike in 2011 and I laughed in their face!" It's funny to see what happens when we say one thing and then later in our life it ends up happening anyways! If we could just short cut the journey, I think we'd find ourselves more successful quicker! However, without learning how to pivot and make changes I don't believe we'd learn and grow. So watching JT's life continue to unfold and change each year has been awesome. Becoming

"I did wheelie a Harley". Now that is not something most have ever seen let alone done in their lifetime! Greg though is not the typical MX rider either. A drive of passion and love for the industry has helped Greg shape his current career. Today you can see him blowing it up on social media with his content around bike builds, primarily 2-strokes. A bunch of us older guys and gals remember when 2-strokes were the only bikes you would consider buying. However, with demand in our economy

In this episode I decided to break apart 5 athletes and their perspectives when it comes to landing sponsorships. This episode has Brett Turcotte, Mat Cox, Cody McNolty, Cody Webb, and Colby Crapo. Each one of these athletes have different perspectives when it comes to landing sponsors, but at the same time, you can see there is

How soon do dreams come true?Or maybe you feel that dreams are too far away?Are you even dreaming at all?I constantly wonder about athletes and their dreams and goals in life. So many find themselves in positions of notoriety and fame but that is not typically what they were wanting to achieve. Most are like everyone else. Just want to ride each day and enjoy their lives. I believe what separates these athletes from the rest is being relentlessly pushing for what they want, never entertaining a Plan

Why do dealerships have race teams?Is it because race teams are rad? (YES THEY ARE!)Or is it to just give free stuff out to racers?I've wondered for years on the topic of race teams or sponsorships. Why they would give gear and machines to these individuals and watch them race in a completely different location. I didn't see how that would make sense or why anybody would travel miles or kilometers to get to a dealership. And then some dealerships would create race teams and dump thousands

We've all had ideas and thoughts that could fix an issue that we come across on a regular basis.
