The body follows the mind. What is it capable of? Known as one of the most strict training facilities on the planet in terms of what they expect from clients, we sat down with Jason and Jake from Gym Jones in Salt Lake City to discuss their mantra, training principles and the ability to push your thresholds well beyond the ability of what you believe you can.

This Podcast I connect with a friend, entrepreneur, orthopedic surgeon, sports medicine practitioner, climber and all types of great things, Dr. Katy Morris. Katy is what I would classify as the "new wave" of surgeons where she creates a space to serve as the last resort. What I mean by this is, that surgery is a last resort. She advocates for preventative care and moving your body the appropriate way to prevent going under the knife. She has worked with hundreds upon hundreds of athletes of all sports and backgrounds with a plethora of experience. Aside from working with athletes, she is currently in the process of launching Venture Orthopedics which would serve an underserved population who don't have access to a general practitioner.

On this episode, we chat with Author, Entrepreneur, and climber Kyle Gray. Kyle is the Author of "The College Entrepreneur" and "The Story Engine". Kyle believes in the power of the narrative and how your able to promote and tell stories helps transform to live the life you want to live. Kyle has an uncanny ability to relate traditionally complex topics in a very uncomplex way.

The goal of the connections movement is to explore topics of cultural and ecological conservation from the perspective of the legendary humans who've inhabited these places for generations.

Being behind the scenes I often get asked about my story and why I started MTN RDY and my particular story.

One thing I have learned over the years is that vulnerability and transparency are well, awesome. In this episode, I open up about my path that led me to MTN RDY, who I wanted to work with, how I wanted to build this business and the value that I wanted to bring skiers, bikers, and runners outside of just general programming. Enhancing one's quality of life from every aspect and connecting individuals to community, themselves, and building strong and wise humans on and off the mountain. In a world where business leaders are typecasted to wear every single hat, I believe in focusing on your strengths and surrounding yourself with humans that compliment you.
