William has been adventure racing for 12 years with a total distance of 7000km of human-powered racing. His team doesn't go for the podium but focuses on having an excellent time being in the great outdoors and enjoying the experience. I hope you gain some insight from our conversation.  http://www.facebook.com/cairnswm http://www.facebook.com/licketysplitar       Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

Leaving a great job with good benefits to start a company that's technically illegal to operate out of your apartment is a big jump at best, completely irrational and foolish at worst. Today, Amy and Jordan wouldn't have it any other way with building Powder7, considered one of Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work. This episode is filled with humor, insight, and adventure, like the time Jordan beat Lance Armstrong by an inch in a half-Ironman race. I hope you enjoy this conversation around life, business, and adventure sports!

Today’s guest, Brandi Mueller, is an avid diver and underwater photographer. She’s dived in over 30 countries and works as an instructor for much of the year. Her passion for diving is infectious and her expertise has been featured in dozens of publications all over the world. Recently, she co-authored a book about her experience diving to see an underwater airplane graveyard where 150 American airplanes were dumped at the end of WWII in the lagoon of Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands. The haunting pile of flightless planes were surprisingly photogenic and getting the location was half the adventure. Enjoy! The book, now available: The Airplane Graveyard: The Forgotten WWII Warbirds of Kwajalein Atoll www.brandiunderwater.com @brandi_underwaterwww.facebook.com/brandiunderwater Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

The Smith's lead a unique life as it is. Training is a huge focus of much of their time in order to compete in triathlons all over the world. At one of these races, a harmless tube of chapstick would change the focus and fate of the way Matt competes, leading to a truly incredible experience for the couple and a change in purpose, perspective, and in life altogether.

Part 2 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.  Hope y'all had a 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.
