Ep. 1050: Climbing the 50 U.S. Highpoints in 50 Days with Type 1 Diabetes - Revisited - Michael Shelver & Patrick Mertes

Jeff Glasbrenner has goals.  Big ones.  As he summited Aconcagua, his guide suggested he climb Everest.  Why not?  So he did.  Now, not only does he have his sights set on the seven summits, but he is also planning on skiing to both the north and south poles.  Jeff is a motivational speaker who inspires us to live our dreams, no matter what our challenges may be.  You see, Jeff has only one leg.  Thanks, Jeff, for a great Everest trip report!  And thanks for reminding us to live life large! www.teamglas.com www.facebook.com/teamglas/ www.instagram.com/teamglas/ Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Five years ago Luisa and Graeme Bell along with there kids Keelan and Jessica set out to explore the African continent via Overland vehicle. It didn't take but a few days back in the home in South Africa to realize that they needed to see more. Much more! So they put their existing lives aside, purchased a 2009 Land Rover Defender 130 and outfitted it for full-time living. The Bells then started to roam. Their travels have taken them around the African continent nearly twice and then up through South and Central America winding them through the United States and up to Alaska. We've caught up with them while they are house sitting in Baja Mexico. Listen in to hear how they do it and what experiences they've had so far!   Facebook: facebook.com/a2a.expedition Instagram is www.instagram.com/graeme.r.bell Website: www.a2aexpedition.com We Will Be Free book - www.a2aexpedition.com/#!author/c16nk     Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Craig Dinkel's adventurous life began with a near-drowning at the very young age of just 2. But instead of this experience leaving him with a fear of water, Craig ultimately became an excellent swimmer competing for Cal State and qualifying for the Olympic trials. He’s an entrepreneur having grown a company from ground level into a half billion dollar market only to be wiped out by the dot com crash. Craig eventually found himself at the summit of 13,775 ft Grand Teton in Wyoming and ultimately catching the bug to attempt a through hike of the Continental Divide Trail and hopefully bag the triple crown thru-hiking the Continental Divide Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and the Appalachian Trail. Craig is also the founder and owner of the supplements company BioTropic Labs.   www.biotropiclabs.com   Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
