Ep. 1093: Curt Linville - Adventures for Everyone

Part 1 Justin Simoni is synonymous with "pure adventure."  This guy's self-powered running, cycling, and climbing trips are mind-bending in difficulty and require unbelievable mental endurance. He's well known for riding a bike to and climbing all of Colorado's 14ers in one fell swoop back in 2014.  However, a few years later, that wasn't enough. This led him to bike to and climb Colorado's highest 100 peaks, nearly doubling the mountains climbed in his 14ers achievement. I hope you enjoy our two-part conversation on adventures and how he makes them happen.  Merry Christmas! https://justinsimoni.com/ https://www.instagram.com/longrangerjustin/ https://justinsimoni.com/2017/10/01/tour-of-the-highest-hundred-completed/ Justin wanted to thank these sponsors: Ultimate Direction, Surly Bikes, Colorado Mountain Club, OR, Sierra Designs, and La Sportiva.

Courtney Condy graduated college in 2013 and jumped right into the corporate sector thinking she would have time later to travel and pursue her adventures. She was wrong.   After finding inspiration from a friend and none from her job, she finally booked an Everest Base Camp Trek in 2015. On that journey, she ended up almost dying in the April 25 Nepal earthquake. It was an adventure, to say the least. It changed her whole life to the point she opted out of her desk job and started working as an adventure travel guide all over the world.   Earlier this year after seeing a gap in the adventure career market she decided to break away from her job, once again, to launch her own company, Occupation Wild, where he hopes of helping others find their dream job and live a life beyond 9 to 5.   www.occupationwild.com   https://www.instagram.com/occupation_wild/?hl=en   https://www.instagram.com/courtneymcondy/?hl=en     Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

Being an avid mountaineer and ultrarunner himself, Scott knows the teaching power of nature and incorporates that power into every aspect of life on campus for students and faculty at SUU.

Did you know that bears don't actually growl as Hollywood has you believe? In fact, in most movies, a bear growl is actually a wolf growl. Did you also know that a dog on a leash is a great bear deterrent, but a dog off its leash is a great way to have yourself a bear encounter? In this episode Mike McIntosh, of the Bear With Us Sanctuary Rehabilitation Center, helps us understand what we need to know about living with bears while playing in the wild. www.bearwithus.org info@bearwithus.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bearwithus.bears Twitter: https://twitter.com/bearwithusbears Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.
