Nick Martinez has been quietly ticking the hardest and scariest big walls in Yosemite for the last two decades. 🧗♂️ From early climbing dreams in Brazil, Nick made his way to Yosemite, finding community with legends like Jim Bridwell, Dean Potter and the Huber brothers, and making a name for himself amongst the Valley titans. 💪
Despite profound heartbreak of losing loved ones and his own near-fatal BASE jumping accident, Nick found a way to keep climbing, and finding purpose in the mountains he loves. ⛰️
Get ready for laughs too as Nick, a natural storyteller with a dry wit, recounts wild anecdotes from climbing alongside El Cap legends, epic climbs, close calls, and the unique dirtbag ethos. 🏕️
Nick's story is a powerful reminder that even amidst the darkest shadows, there is always a path forward. This rare and candid interview is not to be missed.

"It's kind of like... when the oracle is talking to Neo, and she's like, 'Know thyself.' I think if you just really stay true to yourself, and go, and just follow your dreams, I don't think you can lose." 💫🏄🏽♀️
When I happened to chance upon a video of Katie McConnell masterfully dropping into monster waves in Nazaré, Portugal , and then heard her thoughtfully describe epic hold-downs, I knew I had to try to bring her on the show. Katie's trophy case is overflowing with wins at prestigious events , and this interview is quite timely as she just won the tow award at the Red Bull Magnitude in Hawaii! However, more than just a big wave rider, Katie is a brilliant marine biologist and a true champion of the oceans. 🌊🐠
This conversation goes beyond the podium. Katie opens up about her journey of self-discovery through surfing, the challenges of being a female pioneer in a male dominated sport, and her creative hustle to balance her passions with the realities of life. It’s an honor to be able to share her intelligence, humility, and gift for storytelling. 🙏🏾💜

You bet. 🏃♂️ With the spirit of a new learner, Mo learns new sports, and goes on to take them to their apex.

At the age of 59 years and 8 months, Conacher became the oldest person in the world to surf Maverick's 🌊, the "Mount Everest of surfing" 🏔️ one of the most challenging and dangerous surf breaks in the world, located near Half Moon Bay, California.
What makes Conacher's feat truly astonishing is the fact that he didn't start surfing until his 50s, wow! 🤯 Most accomplished big wave surfers start from a very young age, honing their skills over decades of experience. For Conacher to achieve this milestone at an age when most people are contemplating retirement is nothing short of extraordinary. 💪

🌊"I ate 28 cals of chocolate for each mile paddled" 🌊
Katrin Tomanek is a true multi sport athlete who blends her career as a topnotch data scientist, with a passion for pushing physical and mental boundaries through uncommon solo adventures in wild and beautiful places.Born in Germany, and a former rock climber, the 44-year-old has quickly made a name with some remarkable accomplishments in kayaking and bicycling. Last year she finished a solo kayak trip that spanned over 52 days and with paddling 1,200 miles through the remote Alaskan Inside Passage. She also regularly undertakes bicycling quests such as self-supported bikepacking across the Andes, and also to Burning Man :)
To me what makes Katrin’s feats remarkable are her thoughtful planning, her ability to learn from prior experiences, and the clutch one, to meticulously plan for any / all contingencies.
Katrin's adventures are defined by foresight, spunk, endurance, and the ability to thrive in solo wilderness environments for weeks at a time. How do you avoid getting marooned during king tides, and dodge grizzlies in bear infested landings, listen on!

“Surfing was always on my mind,” said the Cocoa Beach, Florida native. “I had a poster of Cory Lopez hanging up in my rehab room for inspiration. I never realized how much I loved surfing, until it was taken away from me.”
Thrilled to be joined by surfer, author, and motivational speaker Tyler Farnham. Originally from Cocoa Beach, Florida, Tyler has turned his lifelong passion for surfing into a way to inspire others. Reborn twice, after suffering a catastrophic skydiving accident over 10 years ago, Tyler managed to battle back from severe injuries, and then later, opioid addiction. Now living by the mantra of using outdoor adventure and nature as therapy, he shares his story of resilience with the hopes of uplifting people who may be struggling. Tyler's perseverance through extraordinary hardship can teach us the power of grit, community, and the healing force of Mother Nature.
🚑 On Easter Sunday 2009, at age 25, Tyler broke nearly every bone in his body during a skydiving accident. His road to recovery was long and painful.
💊 The heavy pain meds led Tyler down the path of opioid addiction, further complicating his recovery
📒 Journaling, community, and his love for the ocean aided Tyler's resilience and ability to get clean
🏄🏽♂️Tyler managed to get back to surfing form, reclaim work as a ocean guard and winning valor awards for his lifesaving work
🤙 Tyler advocates for surf therapy and speaks publicly to inspire people with stories of perseverance
🌊 "I'm a full advocate of just healing through Mother Nature, and I know that's why you and I have kept in touch...I think whether it be rock climbing or skiing or surfing, when you're just in tune with nature and you, you, you got, you get that mindset and that flow state and it's something that you become addicted to."
The full podcast shares a remarkable story of hope and the incredible power of the human spirit. Check out Tyler's website, books, and social media via the links provided to follow his journey.

When I Invited Dr Tyler Nelson to come on the show, I knew he would drop the hammer on climbing training beta, but little did I know how wowed I’d be with the applicability of his knowledge across sports. Tyler’s lessons on training smarter, preventing injuries, and peak performance, based on the guiding principles of sports science, are spot on for climbers. However stay tuned in cyclists, runners, surfers, et al, as they are relevant for you as well!
