The Connection:

Matthew Jester is the through line here. He and I have built a friendship over the last several months across this sports, media, and entertainment ecosystem. He reached out cold in December, and since then we’ve talked dozens of times, traded notes, and introduced each other to more people and opportunities in the space. Like Carter, he's a Princeton football alum, which is how the two of them first connected.

Check out Matthew’s newsletter, At The Center, here.

Quote of the Episode:

“Mother Nature needs to be the main character.”

Bet You Didn’t Know:

Carter was once a 300-pound offensive lineman for the Princeton Tigers.

The brainchild of snowboarder Travis Rice, the Natural Selection Tour showcases the world’s top riders from Olympians to big mountain film icons all competing on the planet’s most exciting natural and naturally enhanced terrain. The 2025 Tour features four sports: Surf, Bike, Snow and Ski. The Natural Selection Tour’s mission is to inspire people to forge a deeper relationship with Mother Nature.
