Hey everybody, welcome back to the Blister podcast. I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, the founder of Blister,

0:07.6

and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.

Today's episode is presented by Spot Injury Insurance. Spot provides injury insurance that is actually affordable.

0:24.6

It starts at $25 a month and covers you up to $20,000 each time you're injured, and that is

0:32.7

whether you get hurt doing something really rad or whether you trip over your friend's pet Chihuahua and

0:40.6

still need to go get stitches or something. Furthermore, your spot plan works whether you have

0:47.1

health insurance or not, and since so many of us have crazy high deductibles of $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 or more.

Well, the great news here is that your spot injury coverage kicks in right away

1:58.0

Owen and I also discuss the origins of Moose Jaw, what Moose Jaw's objectives

2:03.3

are today, and how those objectives are informed by Moose Jaw's parent company, Walmart.

2:11.0

We also talk about the Moose Jaw Outdoor Accelerator, which is an exciting opportunity to increase both diversity and

2:20.2

innovation in the outdoor industry. And I hope that a number of you listening to this will in fact
