Adam Jaber August 22, 2023

Care Less, Do More. – E20 – The Sendiest and Friendliest Molly Armanino My guest on the show today has been dubbed the sendiest and friendliest, a title that I see fitting for this 30 year old budding professional skier Molly Armanino. In 2022 she competed in the Freeride World Tour qualifiers and won four competitions which earned her a wild card invite to the 2023 Freeride World Tour Pro event. With a background in racing through high school, unlike most professionals, Molly attended college at the University of California Santa Cruz and earned a degree in ecology which took […]

Care Less, Do More. – E19 – Rory Bosio My guest on the show today is a longtime inspiration of mine, Rory Bosio. Rory took and unconventional path to becoming a professional ultra runner. “Training” took place on her own accord and in her own style. The whole coach thing, heart rate monitors, GPS tracking watches, and a schedule didn’t feel as free. She went backcountry skiing, cross country skiing, what she refers to as destination running, and on occasion when I was out climbing I would see Rory riding her beat up beach cruiser up Donner Summit. Rory began […]
