  • Dirt division

    Enjoyed the podcast in the beginning but noticed as time went out in interviews and topics that Taylor does seem to make the conversations about himself, hopefully with time they’ll let guests and other co-hosts contribute and be able to expand on topics. Let’s right the ship!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dirt Division E043 | Mount to Coast M1, Strava, and E-Bikes (ft. Jared Smith, Hoka PLM)
Q: Could you give us a background on your roles and how you steer product updates at Hoka?
I've spent 10 years at Hoka, starting from a coordinator role and moving into trail-focused product leadership, overseeing updates across the trail lineup, naming, and collaboration with designers and engineers to bring new tech to market.
471 | Josh Kerr (Re-Release)
Q: What role did nutrition and recovery play in your preparation for Budapest and beyond?
A dedicated nutritionist, a structured meal program, a kitchen setup, and recovery strategies were crucial. The plan helped me stay resilient, avoid illness, and focus on performance, which I believe contributed to my peak form at the championships.
471 | Josh Kerr (Re-Release)
Q: How did you approach the decision to join Brooks after college?
I evaluated coaching quality, brand alignment, and the people I would be working with; Brooks offered a cohesive vision with Danny Mackey that fit my goals, and the decision was driven by trust in the coach and the program rather than financials.
471 | Josh Kerr (Re-Release)
Q: What was your mindset going into Worlds and how did you prepare?
I focused on building a healthy relationship with my team and mind, aligning daily structure and race-day routines, rehearsing the entire day from hotel to call room, and accepting whatever the result would be while staying dedicated to my plan.
The Dirt Division E039 | Brooks Cascadia 20, Trail Gear Trends, The Presi (ft. Sean Van Horn)
Q: How did Sean get into trail running and what keeps him motivated?
Sean explains his evolution from cycling to backcountry mountaineering, using trail running as a way to stay active in the mountains, and notes that competition is balanced by a love for the backcountry and meaningful, experience-driven goals.
