David Lesh is an environmental troll that has leveraged his willingness to have people hate him into a marketing strategy for his company Virtika that hits an audience that has been unserved in ski wear. Lesh sat down with Vance Crowe to talk about how he developed into a person without the need to please the respectable crowd, what he did that so infuriated environmentalists, and why he doesn't use drugs or alcohol any more.

Lesh's marketing videos are insane; showing Lesh waking up from a wild orgy, taking drugs, flying his plane to go skiing, then joyriding in the snow while shooting guns. His videos and social media posts have infuriated environmentalist and even got him brought up on legal charges for damaging the environment.
