Hill Climbers
There are plenty of cycling podcasts covering races, fitness and nutrition, but there aren’t many that dive deep into what cyclists are doing off the bike that reflect their lives on the bike. Hill Climbers shares stories from cycling-centric founders, authors and artists to give cyclists something to talk about besides just cycling.

Growth Expert Amos Schwartzfarb On TechstarsATX, Writing "Levers" & Don't Forget Adventure Racing!
A couple of years ago I witnessed Amos Schwartzfarb in action with his Techstars ATX cohort at my coworking space in east Austin. He led the program with an electric energy that was both intense but also genial and fun. This guy was a leader with style, and it was to my DELIGHT that I discovered he’s a cyclist before I had actually met him.
Fast forward to Techstars Demo Day 2023 and Amos, dressed in a signature vest, announced that the program was leaving Austin, and he would also be ending his 8 year run as Managing Director. Not only did he have a fantastic stage presence, I could feel the love in the room for this dude who clearly gave his all to the community. It was special - not something I’ll soon forget.
Our friendship began when I told Amos I was starting a group ride to facilitate networking among Austin cyclists, and he encouraged the initiative from the jump. Here was a respected community builder, a guy I barely knew, giving me a vote of confidence. This was a small but really significant push that brought Hill Climbers into real life. Fast forward again to May 6th, when I interviewed Amos in front of a live audience, covering topics like adventure racing, his book, “Levers” and the difficulty of creating boundaries when you have so much to give, in reference to his time as Techstars MD. Amos encompasses a lot of characteristics we revere in this community including: out of the ordinary, generous, empathic and wicked smart, so we think you’ll enjoy the show.
