    The Rock Fight Signs Off With a Final Look at the Outdoor Industry

    26/1/2026 | 48 mins.
    This is it; the final episode of The Rock Fight.
    In one last, wide-ranging conversation, Colin True, Eoin Comerford, and Producer Dave take a final look at the outdoor industry they’ve spent three years questioning, criticizing, and celebrating.
    From the state of outdoor media and the resilience of specialty retail to brand sameness, authenticity, and the growing influence of algorithms and AI, this episode serves as a candid closing argument for why curiosity and critical thinking still matter.
    No headlines. No hot takes. Just one last honest conversation before the final stone is thrown.

    Drawing parallels to sports dynasties, iconic artists, and cultural moments that knew when to walk away, Colin reflects on the three year run of the show, what it became for the outdoor industry, and the realities of podcasting, media, money, and burnout in the outdoor space.

    What Does Stoke Footwear Mean For The Outdoor Industry?

    19/1/2026 | 52 mins.
    Today on The Rock Fight Colin, Eoin Comerford and Producer Dave talk about some recent headlines to come out of the outdoor industry including recent comments made by some of the industry's more notable CEO's.
    For the Lightning Round they do quick hits on J Crew, JD Sports, and OR's new athlete team.
    Then they unpack the launch of Stoke Footwear, a running-inspired shoe brand built for “real American men” that’s already landed in hundreds of retail doors. Is this smart retail validation, or another case of active heritage being repackaged for a different audience?
    Lastly for The Parting Shot, Colin takes aim at the promotion of Alex Honnold's next big thing.
