  • TPM Episode 424: Amy Buckalter, Founder and CEO of Pulse, K2, Nike, Burton, Yakima Executive
    Mar 3 2025

    Amy Buckalter is a boss. One of those smart people, who have that thing, where you know they understand how business works and how to amplify. She's also unapologetically herself, wearing pantsuits while refining the sales strategies of action sports brands like Burton and K2. But her resume goes way deeper than that, think Converse, Terramar, Ryka, Nike, Yakima Pivot Point, and today, she's the founder and CEO of Pulse, a personal lubrication system with over 105 patents. So I guess you can say she's gone from sports to sex and while there are a lot of ins and outs to her life and times, Amy's managed to stay on top and achieve success at every step along the way. It's an interesting podcast with my first boss.

  • TPM Episode 423: Gary Bigham, Legendary Filmmaker
    Feb 24 2025

    Gary Bigham is the most eccentric filmmaker this side of Greg Stump. You haven’t heard about him because when he turned 18, he moved to Europe and became part of the fabric of European Freestyle culture, then he started making films with Europe and the world’s best. When the risk of filmmaking became worth more than the reward, Gary did what he does best, entertain. And, between his Vitamin Ski Chalet and playing music in the bars of Chamonix, Gary will always be the center of attention somewhere and the world is better for it. On the podcast, we talk about the draft, being part of 5 different national freestyle teams, Team Clambin, and so much more. Bernie Bernthal asks the Inappropriate Questions
