While Corey Smith is the mastermind behind the shape changing snowboard brand Spring Break Snowboards, it’s not snowboarding that defines him. Corey is an artist first and foremost and he’s responsible for creating religions, spoof snowboard brands and some of the most popular snowboard graphics of the past decade. If that’s not enough, he was a also a pro rider who played in bands and lived the rockstar life….. This all makes for a great podcast.

While Matt Peterson is the current VP of Woodward Tahoe, Boreal and Soda Springs, he’s done it all in the world of snowboarding. During his pro riding days, he competed in the X Games, filmed with Warren Miller and others, had the sponsors, and did the travel. He then went on to help start Academy Snowboards and used his marketing genius to help make the brand an instant success. And while Matt keeps moving up to bigger and better corporate jobs--in his heart, he will always be that passionate rider, fighting to build meaningful community and he’s doing just that—with Woodward budgets.

Jack Mitrani is truly a Jack of all trades when it comes to great gigs in snowboarding. He was a pro rider who always had a chance of making the finals, he was part of an all-time snowboard crew, he had a headphone brand, he created content for a music festival, and today, he’s the face of the X Games. On the podcast we talk about moving to Mammoth young, the Frends Crew, Shaun White, going from athlete to talent, and a lot more…It’s a good one.

Bob Klein is one of the rare first wavers of snowboarders that I’ve had on the podcast. He is that first-generation when everything was being figured out—he was an early Burton team rider, he had a Sessions store, he worked with athletes like Palmer, Holmes, and Kass…He’s done so much. We talk about a lot of it on the podcast and it’s a snowboard history lesson with a good dude who’s not afraid to admit his mistakes. Brad Holmes asks the Inappropriate Questions.

Keir Dillon was a fixture on the snowboard scene for over a decade. You saw him in halfpipes, on podiums, on the mic and traveling the world with his “Frends” crew. There is so much to Keir’s story and on the podcast we talk about a lot of snowboard success, the letdown of not making the Olympics, starting a snowboard technology business with friends, taking that company and making it a brand that focuses on women, how the friends reacted to that, why he had to sell the business, drugs, and a lot more. It’s a good one.
