Today on THE ROCK FIGHT (an outdoor podcast that aims for the head) we're taking a look at one of the founding pillars of the outdoor industry: innovation.
Ever since the material, design and textile boom of the 1970's and 1980's the outdoors has been an example of how innovation could solve problems and fuel commerce.
But over the past 20 years there haven't been that many innovative breakthroughs even though outdoor brands continue to tell us every season that they have the next great thing.
Today on THE ROCK FIGHT Barry McGeough, who's career has been defined by leading innovation teams at brands like The North Face, PVH and Wolverine sits down with Colin to talk about the state of innovation in the outdoor industry and why we need to make more stuff, not less stuff.
