About this episode
Last week, we kicked off season #2 of our monthly Blister Speaker Series at Western Colorado University , where we invite influential figures to come talk about how they are shaping the outdoor industry. Our first guest of the new season was Claudio Caluori , the announcer for the World Cup Downhill series, a former pro XC and DH racer, the founder of Velosolutions , and the initiator of #pumpforpeace . We touch on all of these things in our conversation, and get Claudio’s perspective on a wide range of topics and questions — including a number of good ones, once again, from the audience.
