In episode 98 of “All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Snowboarding,” Matt Larson, Brian Donovan, and Chris Rogers reunite for an unstructured catch-up after a missed recording when Matt got called to the hospital. They share seasonal updates (river trips in Montana, Vermont black fly season, travel, volleyball, motorcycles, a Pittsburgh birthday trip and sunburn, and Rogers’ basement renovation) and note ongoing work toward national alignment and Interski. The hosts reflect on how snowboarding pushed them into jobs that built work ethic and transferable skills, swapping stories about odd and tough gigs. They discuss best off-season jobs like raft guiding and team-building facilitation and float a potential Learn From Snowboarding meetup at Big Snow in New Jersey in September, plus a brief appearance from Matt’s mom, Barb Larson.
