Featuring:

Kristin Carpenter is the founder of Verde Brand Communications and the host of the Channel Mastery podcast. She earned her stripes in the $873 billion outdoor recreation industries through a decade-long career as a journalist.

Show Highlights: 

In this solo-cast episode of the Channel Mastery podcast, Kristin brings resources and a call to action to leaders of outdoor recreation brands to boldly adopt and execute new approaches, minimizing risk along the way. The year 2022 is proving to be one of the most unique to date in terms of leading through a challenging business climate, considering headwinds from inflation, supply-chain woes, softening consumer sentiment, and global political unrest, all underscored by one of the most divisive times in history. This episode of the Channel Mastery podcast declares 2022 to be: The Year of The Great Weirdness

In this episode, Kristin reflects on how our “best-laid plans” continue to elude even the most disciplined of teams and shares tips on adopting new approaches with quick execution to further growth and traction. This episode also covers the outdoor rec consumer’s resemblance to luxury consumers, a Q3 view on consumer ‘buying vs. spending’, and hand-selected resources, including an ‘ode to evolving the legacy supply chain’ by Doug Stephens, the “Retail Prophet,” and Euromonitor International's take on the luxury consumer, and more.
