Free Soloing is definitely stupid in a lot of ways. We don't condone the sport. However, Austin Howell struck me as particularly calculated and contemplative in his approach to soloing. Listen in on what goes on in the mind of a free soloist and Austin's thoughts on why the danger is not his forte nor his focus.   DreamingOfGnar.com https://www.instagram.com/freesoloist/ https://vimeo.com/freesoloist Www.TheFreeSoloist.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

When most people go to Disney World they're not really inspired to go and start a trekking company halfway around the actual world. As you'll learn from this episode, Mark is not most people. In fact, that trip to Disney coupled with a Lyft ride was enough for him and his wife, Holly, to totally transform their lives to pursue a dream that seemed impossible, especially to the folks around them in rural Tennessee. I hope you're as inspired as I am after hearing about this amazing adventure that should prove to us that anything is possible from anywhere, you just have to start moving.  www.hobnailtrekkingco.com www.facebook.com/hobnailtrekkingcompany www.twitter.com/HobnailTrekCo www.doofusdad.com Instagram: @hobnailtrekkingco Upcoming book: https://www.amazon.com/Doofus-Does-Everest-Base-slightly-less-than-epic-ebook/dp/B07K5JY5JN/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541356618&sr=8-1&keywords=doofus+dad It goes live Nov. 13 but is available for pre-order now.

Erden Eruc has a world-class adventure resume. With 15 Guinness World Records, tens of thousands of miles of first-ever human-powered achievements, and an emotional story that started his journeys, you'd think he'd have a best-selling book and endless speaking engagements by now. As you'll hear, none of these things have come into fruition for Erden. It has been a grind from the beginning to the present. However, that hasn't crushed his thirst for adventure and need for bigger and bigger challenges. It certainly hasn't taken away from the amazing feats Erden has accomplished. Actually, the fact he doesn't have huge sponsors and crowds of fans makes his motivation all the more impressive. What are you willing to go through to chase your dream? Will it be worth it in the end? Listen in on today's episode from someone who knows how lonely it can be on the top.  http://www.erdeneruc.com http://www.around-n-over.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/erdeneruc/ https://www.instagram.com/erdeneruc/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erden_Eru%C3%A7 Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Grace McDonald found herself working incredibly long hours as an attorney. However, her desire to climb the world's greatest mountains got the best of her. She traded in her security and career for a pair of crampons and hit the ground running (well trekking really). She hasn't looked back since. We caught up with her to see if she's found what she's looking for.
