On this episode I have LA based peak bagger, poet, designer, youth advocate,  and the founder of RYP Hiking, Jose Zelada,  join me on the show. We talk about building community + positive relationships, his favorite hikes in SoCal, persevering Iron Mountain, the story behind RYP Hiking, and how he uses his platform to serve youth at risk and families. Add another hiking challenge to your bucket list and check out the 7 Peak Family challenge curated by Jose which includes peaks such as Sunset peak, San Gabriel peak, Stoddard peak, and more. To conclude the episode, Jose leaves us with a simple and powerful message during these tense times.
