E45: Welcome ust gear + Collaboration in the Diabetes Community
March Theme: Collaboration vs. Competition
March is Women’s History Month and we’ll be celebrating all month long, centering our conversations around the theme of “Collaboration vs. Competition.” Join us as we explore and break down the myths, stereotypes, and societal norms designed to keep women small, competing, and tearing each other down. It doesn’t have to be this way, and with our guests, we’ll learn how to navigate difficult conversations, establish boundaries, and step into our full expression.
This Week’s Guests
John Holdmeier - ust gear
Hiking My Feelings is beyond stoked to welcome UST to the Hiking My Feelings Family as one of our sponsors of the #TakeAHikeDiabetes Campaign! We're kicking off episode 45 with John Holdmeier from UST, discussing our partnership and how you can get involved!
About UST: Since 1936 UST has been creating survival, camping and outdoor equipment. Recently, we moved headquarters from Jacksonville, FL up to Columbia, Mo...and we’ve taken this opportunity to re-imagine what UST can be moving forward. The UST crew is driven by our calling to explore the outdoors. We feel incredibly lucky to have the rolling hills and hollers of the Ozark Mountains for our backyard...product testing, exploring, work, play.... the lines get blurry. Our ever-present drive to “be outdoors” translates into reliable, problem-solving gear for you to use in your own outdoor adventures. As a brand, our goal is to inspire and cultivate people’s love of all things outside. We set out on this path with strong intention going forward... to create gear that allows EVERYONE to enjoy the activities that give us so much happiness.
