Ep. 1239: Biking the Camino de Santiago Revisited with Maksim Tsvetovat Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

Triathlon, Gravel Biking: Max Transforms from Couch to Competitive Triathlete – Epic Camino de Santiago Gravel Bike Turns Spiritual Journey for Life Balance at 40. A few years ago Max was facing his 40th birthday, spending most of his time on the couch. His last athletic achievement was a 1-mile run in 6th grade and hadn’t ventured outdoors in decades.

Through a rather unremarkable, but consistent chain of events, he has found an athlete inside, and has become a competitive triathlete and adventurer.

Most recent adventure was originally planned as an epic gravel bike ride, a minimalist multi-day traverse of Spain along the route of Camino de Santiago, the historic pilgrimage that leads to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.

However, the spiritual nature of the Camino overtook the physical aspects, and changed the course of the whole ride, and perhaps Max's outlook on life, work, adventures and finding balance.

Ep. 1237: Two-Time Olympic Skier Revisited with Kaylin Richardson Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

The rugged mountains of Utah, Colorado, and California are usually the homes of the names we see every four years on some of the biggest slopes and stages at the Winter Olympics.

That wasn’t the case for Kaylin. She cut her teeth on a 125 ft. hill in Minnesota, mastering the fundamentals. From those humble beginnings, she advanced her skills enough to represent the U.S. Olympic team twice!

It took living a life without compromise for her to reach the heights she has. Since her “retirement” at 25, she has pursued other interests like being a mom and being featured in eight Warren Miller ski films.

Her story is inspiring and her love for the winter will get you excited for the season!

Ep. 1236: Big Adventure for a Big Planet Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

Swimming the coast of France. Paddling the length of the Rhone and more!

Remi Camus is back! Swimming along the French coastline or crossing the Mediterranean Sea isn’t just about endurance. It’s about committing to long periods of isolation, dealing with unpredictable conditions, and adapting constantly to the environment. The sea sets the rules currents, weather, fatigue everything becomes a factor you have to manage, often in real time.

These projects also carry a deeper purpose. Beyond the physical challenge, they’re a way to observe, document, and raise awareness about what’s happening in our waters pollution, ecosystem changes, what we don’t see but is very much present.
