    Andrew Onermaa: Doom
    May 28 2026
    What does it take to organize a 400-mile unsupported bikepacking race through some of the most unforgiving terrain in the country? In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Onermaa, the mastermind and race director behind Doom, an epic self-supported bikepacking race through the Ozarks. Andrew takes us behind the scenes of the event's history, the inspiration behind the Doom documentary, and the brutal logistical challenges of managing a multi-day race in such harsh conditions. We also dive into the unique and often difficult business model of hosting unsupported ultra-endurance events. It’s an awesome conversation packed with grit, behind-the-scenes insights, and pure passion for the sport. Tune in and enjoy the ride!

  • Building (and Rebuilding) GP-81 with Cliff Simanski

    Building (and Rebuilding) GP-81 with Cliff Simanski
    Mar 4 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Cliff Simanski, the founder of GP-81, to go behind the scenes of one of the country’s most respected climbing gyms. While the broader industry pivots toward "fitness-center" models and mass-market appeal, Cliff has doubled down on a business built specifically for the dedicated climber. We dive into the history of the gym, the risky but rewarding business model of prioritizing "true" climbers over beginners, and the unique challenges of staying profitable while maintaining a no-frills, high-intensity brand. It’s a candid look at the business of climbing and what it takes to build a community that values the craft of the sport above all else.
