#10 Angel Collinson
Chasing Aces
My guest today is a total badass. She is most commonly known for her extreme skiing exploits in the mountains of Alaska, but to call her a skier would be like calling the earth a rock. Angel Collinson is a life ninja. A true force with the desire to rewrite the rules of life and the passion to see it through. Her vision for picking out ski lines is far outmatched by her vision for life. We talked about meditation, life, death, fear, mental health, climate and of course skiing.

#7 Creighton Baird
Chasing Aces
Creighton is a fascinating guy. He’s a climber, skier, hunter, sky diver and for the majority of his 20s he spent a lot of his time rigging backcountry rope swings in the Utah desert. Creighton showed up with a bottle of scotch and a head full of stories and we went down the rabbit hole of life, risk, adventure and Creighton’s own personal decision to dial things back in the hopes of starting a family. It was a great conversation. It was long and rich and I hope you enjoy it.

info_outlineMy guest today is Jason Cohen. Jason is an incredibly difficult person to summarize in a few sentences. He’s a photographer, cinematographer, cyclist, runner, father and a fascinating human with an extraordinary amount of self determination and drive. A few years ago, Jason looked down and the scale and saw that he weight 297 lbs. In that moment he promised himself that it would never go to 300 and he began taking control of his life. Seven years later Jason toed the line of the Leadville Trail 100 and 29 hours and 25 minutes later, he had run 100 miles through the mountains of Colorado at the weight of 175 lbs. He’s a great friend of mine. He’s what I would consider an Ace and he’s the person who convinced me to start this podcast so it’s only fitting that he jump in with me as my partner and producer. Please welcome to the podcast, today’s Ace, Jason Cohen.
