Today we’re talking business. From some of the biggest brands in snowboarding like Volcom, down to smaller brands like Holden and everything in between, Brad Alband has done it all. From marketing to sales to design he’s been in the game for a long time and continues his legacy working with ThirtyTwo and starting Autumn. We discuss shops, tariffs, and the snowboard eco-system as a whole on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
