In this special episode, Sam invites her uncle, Mike Pfotenhauer, founder and head designer of Osprey Packs (until his recent retirement), to discuss the role of creativity in his life and in Osprey Packs.

Osprey Packs is a world class outdoor backpack company headquartered in Cortez, Colorado. It is known for its innovative design, sustainability values, and high quality products. Mike founded Osprey in 1974. Osprey’s backpacks can be found in nearly every country, airport, and trail. 

Mike Pfotenhauer is an artist and creative, though he might not use those words to describe himself. He approached his business with an extreme emphasis on creativity and his personal freedom of creative expression. 

In this podcast, Mike discusses how creativity allows him to get lost and find the path again, what creativity offers you as a person, the importance of being connected to the material items around you, finding an inner sense of freedom through creativity, balancing business demands and creativity flow, and what self-expression offers you in your life.
