In this episode of the Co-Pro Podcast, we sit down with Brad Steward, snowboard pioneer, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and founder of Bonfire Snowboarding.

Brad shares stories from the early days of snowboarding, when the sport was still carving out its place in the world. From exploring mountains across Russia, Japan, Sweden, Argentina, and the Pyrenees, Brad was part of the generation of riders who helped push snowboarding onto the global stage.

We also dive into Brad’s entrepreneurial journey, building Bonfire into one of the most influential snowboard apparel brands in the industry, helping shape the Olympic pathway for snowboarders, working in film and advertising, and later launching ventures like Caravan Outpost.
This conversation covers the evolution of snowboarding culture, building brands from the ground up, taking creative risks, and what it means to follow ideas across industries.

If you're into snowboarding history, action sports culture, entrepreneurship, and creative careers, this episode is packed with stories from someone who’s been there since the beginning.
