Jordan Burroughs has one of the most medaled and storied careers of any American wrestler. That feat hasn’t come easy and it definitely hasn’t come without its losses. However, it’s the day-to-day focus that Jordan credits to keeping him on top of the competition, well into his decade-long wrestling career, where he’s still racking up championships. Although this isn’t adventure sports-related per se, I believe Jordan’s life principles and grit is applicable to any hobby, career, or goal you’re setting for yourself.Check out Jordan’s Without Compromise series on Athletic Brewing’s YouTube channel.Follow Jordan on Instagram at @alliseeisgoldTo learn more about Athletic Brewing’s award-winning non-alcoholic craft beer, go to AthleticBrewing.comSupport Adventure Sports Podcast monthly by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast or make a one-time donation to the show here.

Not many people would go to Alaska during the winter, completely alone, to take care of a team of sled dogs to get over a recent divorce. However, that's exactly what she did. That toughness has also led her to become one of only 29 women to complete both the Iditarod and the Yukon Question 1000-mile sled dog races. Kristin is now remarried and has started a new journey, motherhood. She also works as a wilderness planner for Denali National Park and has recently written a book about her experiences, This Much Country. It can be found following the link below or pretty much anywhere else you buy books. We hope you enjoy listening to this life outside the box!The book: This Much Countryhttps://www.heymoosekennel.com/Instagram: @heymoosekennelSupport Adventure Sports Podcast monthly and check out our new and improved Patreon tiers by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast.Our Sponsors:* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/ASPSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
