Special thanks goes out to The North Face for sponsoring a new podcast series on SNEWS® Live. We're piecing together several stories that recount the career paths of key outdoor professionals. Featuring new music from independent artists courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network these conversations delve into the lessons that people in the active lifestyle business have learned over the last 40 years.

We're looking for more subjects to profile. So if you have any suggestions drop us a note at snewslive@snewsnet.com.

And thanks to the folks at KEEN for awarding The Outdoor Professional a grant to continue the Adventures In Outreach series. This new generation of active lifestyle enthusiasts is dedicating its love of the outdoors to several philanthropic causes. In this series I’m connecting with a few passionate individuals and telling their stories.
