In today’s episode, I am joined by Ben McKinley, a big mountain and back country ski coach. Ben and I discuss the value of doing hard things and the importance of teaching younger people how to persevere. Ben thanks his own mentors and the coaches who helped him grow and now he does the same to pay it forward: he mentors and coaches many others in the Pacific Northwest where Ben lives and coaches them in big mountain and back country skiing. We also talk about what it means to be brave, and overcoming our own limitations as we push ourselves to be our best. This is a great episode for all those with an adventurous spirit.
