In this episode, Chris Thomas sits down with Deed Ziegler, founder of the backcountry and adventure lightweight nutrition company, Recpak. Deed’s company was first inspired by his career in the military and solidified by aiming to solve a problem many of us face on our adventures and races in the outdoors when every ounce matters. We cover so much in this episode from his journey to creating Recpak, deliberate intention in balancing macro and micronutrient contents, focus on a health-conscious aspect with processed foods, challenges to creating a new brand, his mission to leave the world better than he found it with support for 1% for the planet, veteran and youth group organizations, and first responders in the Ukraine conflict. There’s so much more to this episode with Recpak, but I’ll let you hear it from Deed himself on this 18th episode of the Dabbling In Paddleism Podcast…
