ABOUT THIS EPISODE
John Burke is the President of Trek and wants the best for everyone at Trek, as well as the entire country. He has tremendous experience working with people and enjoys reading and current events. Throughout his life, he’s been interested in learning from other leaders and taking action himself.
In this episode, John shares his life and experience during his early years at Trek and some of the early lessons that have contributed to his current status. Then John discusses his newest book, 12 Simple Solutions to Save America. Listen in for some good perspective from one of the cycling industry’s leaders about how we can help change the country for the better.
About the book, 12 Simple Solutions to Save America:
“In 2011, John Burke attended his son’s graduation ceremony at Marquette University. Author David McCullough was the commencement speaker, and he gave some advice that day that really stuck with Burke. Those words were: “at some point, do something for your country.” That evening, Burke began to think about what he could do for his country. For years he had been disappointed by the Government’s inability to solve any of the big issues our country faced.
It was that evening on the drive home from his son’s graduation ceremony that Burke decided he would write a book about the big problems America faces and solutions to fix those issues. In 12 Simple Solutions to Save America, Burke talks candidly about what he believes should serve as America’s core values and offers 12 simple solutions to some of the most complex problems that America faces.”

Matt gets the chance to sit down with elevenpine founder and creator Jeff Curran and Tom Barney, his newly announced CEO. In this episode Jeff talks history, how the product came to be, and of course their biggest blunder to date: going to Sea Otter with a changing room. Tom chimes in to give his background and to explain how being the CEO of Oprey for 15 years has given him the prep he needs to grow elevenpine as their product evolves. With a little nudging from Matt, Tom gives a rough idea of what products to expect from them in the future.
