This week, I’m keeping the My Back 40 podcast local as I sit down with Invermere’s Chris Skinner of Playwest Mountain Experience @playwest.

Honouring his mantra, (dis)Connect, Engage, Experience, he wants his guests to unplug from life, plug into nature and experience what makes being in the mountains so special by guiding them around the Canadian Rockies, Columbia Mountains and the Columbia River area.

In this episode, we get to know Chris and discuss the transformation Playwest has made through its various iterations. We talk about recognizing your calling when it presents itself, taking risks when they matter most and share stories about life and lessons learned.

Chris also wants to extend a promo code! Head on over to playwest.ca and check out some of his offerings. If you see something you like, use code MB40POD at checkout to save 15% on your booking.

I had a great time sitting down with Chris and chatting. I appreciate his vulnerability during our chat and I hope you enjoy this episode.
