Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track Podcast.

I'm your host Finn Melanson and in this episode we welcome Lindsay Dakota, who is one of the co-founders of Naked Sports Innovations to the podcast.

You are probably familiar with their running bands but maybe not as familiar with their vests or the shoe that they have coming up.

Also maybe you saw athletes

like Camille Heron and Adam Peterman crossing the finish line at this year's Western

States wearing their gear. Anyways, if you are an OG listener of single track, you know that

our first love on this show is chatting with the entrepreneurs or building on top of and around

the world of trail and

arch running.

And yeah, we return to those roots in this episode.

Lindsay and I talk about what it's like being a business owner in our sport, the opportunities

he saw early on to innovate on the existing trail running gear.

We talk about the outside influences he brings to our world, general

commentary on building and marketing of vision from zero to one, and all sorts of banter

around naked's current and future lines of products. I hope you enjoy. But before we get

started, this episode is brought to you by Kodiak Kakes and Inside Tracker. For Kodiak cakes, use Single Track 15 to get 15% off your next order.

With Kodiac Kakes, I am super stoked, as you know, about this sponsorship.

I have often referenced that I'm just as stoked, maybe more stoked than Chris Mocko,

when he secured a similar sponsorship with them back in the famous Mako show days.

I hope that show returns, by the way.

But seriously, if you are like me, your weekend long run is followed up with a big stack of pancakes.
