  • Risk vs. Reward: Taming the Backcountry with Ski Mountaineer Caroline Gleich

    Caroline Gleich is a magnet for adventure.  She is one of the ski mountaineering world's most prolific skiers.  She has been on the cover of many skiing magazines, premiered in Warren Miller films, and skied some of the most challenging lines around the world. Most notable and recent was that she was the 4th person ever and first woman to ski all 90 lines in the Chuting Gallery in the Wasatch Range.  Caroline will be the first to say, "Ski Mountaineering is really dangerous."  She is also an environmental activist.

    Backcountry skiing is so much more than being a skilled skier.  You have to have intuition; when to summit and when not to ski. When to push past the shaky heart in the throat fear and when to listen to it.  So why does she do it? 

    This podcast is about so much more than just adventures and how to decide what to do when faced with a challenge.  It's about how to stand up to cyber bullies, it's about gender equality, what it's really like to be an endurance athlete and how isolating that can be, and it's about what it really means to be brave. 

    Listen Now

    Watch Caroline's documentary with REI and read more about it here. 

    Topics Discussed in the Podcast 
    • Her journey to becoming a ski mountaineer
    • How to know when to turn back and manage fear and danger
    • Caroline's challenges with cyber bullying
    • How Caroline makes a living as a professional athlete and the path to becoming a sponsored athlete
    • Gender bias and what it's like to be a female skier 
    • What it's like to be a 5 ft tall Ski Mountaineer

  • How to Be a More Confident Athlete with Lesley Patterson and Simon Marshall

    Do you ever have thoughts and feelings that you don't want? What does mental toughness mean?  Do you ever worry about what people think about you or wish that you were more confident? These are all questions that 3x X-Terra World Champion Lesley Patterson and Simon Marshall, PhD have addressed in their book, "Brave Athlete: Calm the F*ck Down."  

    It was great to talk with both of them.  Lesley is a badass- 3x World Champ and Coach.  Her insight and depth of knowledge is incredible.  Simon is a former professor of family and preventive medicine as well as sport and exercise psychology.  He has a lot of practical experience as a Sports Psychologist (even to the Professional BMC Road Racing team).  

    I enjoyed their book - they break everything that I regularly love to think and talk about into bite size chunks that can be applied to sport and life.  You'll have to listen for more! 

      Topics Discussed in the Podcast 
    • Naming the book
    • How to cope if your event or ride isn't going well
    • Where to derive self-confidence and how to build your self worth
    • Difference between self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem and self-efficacy
    • Do you worry about what other people think about you?  Everyone does- listen on how to manage impression management and to embrace being a vulnerable human
    • Eating disorders and body image: how to talk to someone who is having a problem or how to help yourself (focus less on the what your body looks like and more on what your body can do)
    • Reframing things in a healthy way

  • Spray Paint, Cyclocross, China and Squid with Emily Kachorek

    Would you spray paint your bike?  Emily Kachorek does.  Maybe you've seen a blur of color, stoke, and little orange creamsicles fly by you on the road or in a Cyclocross Race.  This month, I've been focusing on entrepreneurs, and I was intrigued by Emily because she thinks outside the box.  Not only is she creative and learned how to run a successful business, but she has her Master's in Biology and was a Professional Road Racer on the US National team.   

    Tired of road racing scene, she put away the bike for awhile.  Inevitably, she rekindled her love of riding through commuting and found cyclocross.  Intrigued by new people, experiences, skills, and places, she jumped right in.  

    Emily's vision for Squid started by wanting to be visible.  She designed her own kit and ended up adding her own custom spin to her bike. "My bike was painted this school bus yellow color and had this neon vibe going.... so I went to the hobby store down the street and got a bunch of sheet of neon vinyl."  

    From there, she took her knowledge of the bike industry, her marketing prowess and understanding of how to bring value to a brand and applied it to bikes.  Squid Bikes was born.  The bikes are raw aluminum and buyers get to add their own personality using spray paint and fun graphics.  The buyer spray paints their own bike!

    This show is co-hosted with my friend, Brian Kennedy.  Here's his YouTube Channel (BKXC) and the episode we recorded where I interviewed him! 

    Topics Discussed in the Podcast 
    • Racing in China
    • The Travel Experience of China
    • Why Cyclocross?
    • Inspiration for Squid Bikes
    • How to Spray Paint a Bike
