  • TPM Episode 420: "Sick" Rick Armstrong, Pro Skier, Entrepreneur
    Feb 3 2025

    "Sick" Rick Armstrong is a living legend. Known for his film segments, pioneering Alaska with Doug Coombs and crew, and being part of the second wave of the Jackson Hole Airforce. But what's really amazing about Rick is how huge he sends things: on the hill, in the bar, in the boardroom, or just about anywhere, Rick seems like one of those guys that appreciates and maximizes every experience he can. In part 1 of his podcast, we talk about his current trip to South Africa, coming up, expanding your mind, going huge, the Jackson Hole Airforce, and a lot more. Lhotse Hawk and Harro ask the Inappropriate Questions.

  • TPM Episode 419: Nick Baumgartner, Pro Snowboarder, Olympic Gold Medalist
    Jan 27 2025

    Nick Baumgartner’s life is the definition of out-working everyone and never giving up. This product of northern Michigan grew up with a traditional ”Yooper” work ethic and an enthusiasm you can’t coach. While Nick’s original passion was football and he played at the collegiate level, that didn't last and snowboarding took over. While he started with slopestyle, Nick became a force on the boardercross circuit and had to battle through four Olympics before he finally earned his Gold Medal. It's an incredible story, and US Snowboard Teammate Jonathan Cheever asks Inappropriate Questions.
