Mr. Clipping Chains | Financial Independence Aug 19, 2020

Show notes

Chad Andrews doesn't like the word retired - but he doesn't have to work in anymore - in his mid 30's. The way he got here is pretty simple, and he's entirely willing to share his methods. In this episode we discuss a subject that is strangely taboo - money. We look at some of the steps that climbers can take to become more secure with their financial future.

Devin Dabney | Show Up As You Are Jul 08, 2020

Show notes

Devin Dabney is a climber, setter, coach, poet, and rapper. He's a good friend of mine, and two years ago we sat down and recorded this conversation - without a plan and not really knowing what would come out of it. Now felt like the appropriate time to send it out into the world.

We discuss race, tough conversations, mentorship, and making art. At this time Devin was just beginning to find his voice - one I've been proud to watch evolve and gain momentum. I hope that trend continues.

You can find Devin's latest mixtape, If You Didn't Send, It's Too Late at https://deuceishiphop.bandcamp.com/album/if-you-didnt-send-its-too-late

Devin is on Bandcamp at https://deuceishiphop.bandcamp.com/

Genevive Walker | Black Voices Matter Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

Genevive Walker is unapologetic. She knows that it takes all types to make change, and she has the unique ability to be many of those types all at once.

In this episode I sit down with Genevive in between projecting days in Tensleep, WY - a very white town in a very white state that has no hate crime laws - to discuss racism and the ways it manifests in climbing. And what we can do about it.

BOARD MEETINGS | Granny Shot: Do You Follow the Crowd? May 15, 2020

Show notes

In this episode Nate and I have a discussion inspired by Episode 3 of Revisionist History from Malcolm Gladwell titled The Big Man Can't Shoot. Malcolm discusses Granovetter's theory of the Threshold Model of Collective Behavior through the lens of shooting free throws.

We work through it in terms of climbing.

BOARD MEETINGS | Top 5 Ways to Salvage a Season May 02, 2020

Show notes

This episode was recorded in Summer of 2018, but got lost in the archives. Now that climbing areas are beginning to open again, it seemed like a good time to resurrect it.

Listener Questions | Projecting, Tactics, and Training for Climbing After 40 Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

In this episode I try to answer a few great but not easy questions from our listeners.

When do you keep grinding on a project vs. taking a step back and training for it?

What are the differences of training in your 40's vs. your 20's and 30's?

If 2nd Try Sends can help your longterm projects, can longterm projecting help you send faster?

Lockdown | Motivated or Not, with Special Guests Apr 10, 2020

Show notes

So many people right now are struggling with motivation right now. Rather than give only my advice, I sought out the opinions of past and future guests including Sam Elias, Eva Lopez, Jonathan Siegriest, and many others.

BOARD MEETINGS | The Art of Learning Climbing Apr 05, 2020

Show notes

In this episode Nate and I breakdown the lessons we learned from listening to Episode 412 of the Tim Ferriss podcast with guest Josh Waitzkin. Josh is the author of The Art of Learning, one of our favorite books, and has a great approach to the learning process. On Tim's podcast, Josh essentially asks the question "What holes do we have in our mental models for learning?" from the perspective of his new hobby. We try to apply the same questions and perspectives to climbing.

Listener Questions | How to Know When to Get Better vs. Get Stronger? Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

We're switching things up and answering some of the good questions our community has for us. First up is a really great question that we should all be asking ourselves pretty much constantly - How do I know when to focus on getting better vs. getting stronger?
