Summary

Todd Jones has defined what action sports looks like to the masses and, more importantly, to the core of these sports in the most authentic way. He’s been doing it for 30 years, and his baby, Teton Gravity Research, continues to reinvent itself with new product categories, a network of retail stores, the community they’ve built online since ’96, and their movies featuring the greatest athletes. In Part 2 of the podcast, we pick up where we left off and talk about the movies, the athletes, and the stories. Greg Stump asks the Inappropriate Questions.

0:00.0	Have a seat on your porcelain throne.
0:02.3	It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement.
0:13.5	Welcome to the Powell Movement.
0:17.1	I'm your host Mike Powell, and life is starting to get back to normal.
0:22.8	My COVID is gone. We're getting our new to us car tomorrow. I put the Christmas lights up even though I'm Jewish and other than
0:27.7	Ange's cancer, life feels okay. The only other buzzkill I'm experiencing is that my mom left
0:33.7	town. She and her husband Tom were here for a month, and it really was great to see family
0:38.6	every day. If you're tight with your family, spend some time with them. I promise you won't regret it.
0:44.3	So thank you for everything Mom and Tom. We miss you already and we love you. I should also tell my
0:49.0	dad I love him as well. He was out here for a week, but I only got to see him for a day because I had COVID. The only other news on our end is that we have a big cat scan on Monday that will let us know
0:58.3	how the new drugs are working. This is so exciting and scary all at the same time. If things are
1:03.7	working, well, we keep at it for a while while we wait for a cure to be developed. But if the
1:09.3	treatment isn't working, then we go on to Plan B.
1:12.5	And we believe that to be trials.
1:14.5	Whatever and wherever they are, that's the scary route.
1:17.9	So fingers crossed that these current meds are working.
1:21.1	Also, I apologize if some of this bums you out.
1:23.8	I get that talking about cancer can be triggering and it's not a fun topic at all, but it's my
1:28.7	reality and I promise to share it with you. Plus, I think it helps me to get my thoughts and feelings
1:34.1	out. So if you're a prayer person, please say some for Ange and if you're not, all good. Hopefully
1:39.6	you're able to get out and make some early season turns. And if you're like me and haven't gotten out yet, it's okay, because I still have an
1:46.7	amazing podcast for you and everyone else out there.
