Is it such a crime to want outdoor gear for EVERYONE that looks cute, feels comfy, keeps us safe, and is actually functional?
In this episode, I sat down with Maria Baker, the founder of Nobody’s Princess, a groundbreaking snow apparel brand empowering women through inclusivity and innovation. Maria shares her journey from growing up in Australia to creating a brand that challenges the norms of the snow sports industry.
We discuss the barriers women face in outdoor sports, the importance of size-inclusive and technical gear, and how brands can do better to support all body types. Because everyone deserves safe and functional outdoor apparel.
If you've ever felt excluded from outdoor activities, this episode is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
