Ep. 709: Embracing Weakness in the Mountains - Wesley Trimble

Ep. 709: Embracing Weakness in the Mountains - Wesley Trimble

Our culture is geared to highlight our strengths. From our performances at work, in athletics, to the pictures that ultimately make it on Instagram. We thrive off our showing the world what we’re good at. But what if your weakness is unavoidably apparent and something you absolutely have to reckon with to live without compromise?


Meet Wesley. He was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy which affects his fine motor skills on the right side of his body. The only problem? He finds peace and joy climbing mountains and hiking trails in places that folks with cerebral palsy “aren’t supposed to go”.


He couldn’t let that stop him. His love for the outdoors has led him to climb every mountain in Colorado over 14,000 ft (54 of them), thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail (2,653 miles) from Mexico to Canada, and has ultimately led to a career in the outdoors through working for the American Hiking Society.


Athletic Brewing is a proud supporter of AHS through our Two For The Trails program. We just launched a brand new Two For The Trails grant program where organizations all over the country can apply to get funding for trail-based projects. Athletic Brewing has committed to giving $500,000 worth of grants by June, so if you or anyone you know would like to apply, go here. Two For The Trails

Ep. 047: Nathan Millward - Adventure Motorcycle Travel

Nathan Millward decided he didn't want to fly home to London on a boring commercial airliner. So with just 3 days of preparation, Nathan set off to ride from Sydney, Australia back to London, England on a motorcycle. However this was not your typical large displacement adventure touring motorcycle, Nathan did this 9-month, 23,000 mile trip through 18 countries on a 105cc postal carrier bike. As if that weren't enough, he later decided to ride that same bike 8000 miles across the United States from New York to Alaska. Listen in to hear about his fantastic adventure. www.nathanmillward.com https://www.facebook.com/nathan.millward.501 Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Millward/e/B00QPBS1X6/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2?qid=1434052916&sr=8-2 Our Sponsors: * Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASP Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
