Today's episode is with self-made coach Kris Hampton, aka the Dr. Dre of Rock Climbing. Kris is the founder and coach of The Power Company and writes training plans for thousands of climbers around the world. He sent his first 5.14 and V11 in his 40's, proving his training brings results and that age ain't an excuse. Kris and I talk about what it takes to build a coaching career and break down the training tactics and mental games we use to make you all stronger, smarter climbers.

Ever wonder what it’s like to send a 55ft boulder… with no rope? My next guest would know. Epic high-baller, aspiring trad climber, and overall badass lady crusher Nina Williams has quite the climbing resume these days. Nina is one the few females to send V13, has stood on the podium at national competitions, and knows how to put down some serious outdoor sends. In this episode, we go deep into race and privilege in the climbing community and how the BLM and social movements have carried over to the gym and crag. We also talk mental game, coaching, and leadership. Her path from a young competition climber, to a highball crusher while coaching and earning a degree is seriously inspiring. Nina shares her goals for going into 2021, and we all hope it's going to be a better year.

Ep -15 Madison Stueve
I meet @madisonstueveee a few years ago in Oklahoma at a @summitclimbingyogafitness at a @jcca.climbing youth comp and through a briefing conversation, one can tell that she thinks on a deeper level.
While back she had mentioned to me making a podcast for an assignment and I was happy to help. It's not too often I switch microphones but It was an absolute privilege to have her be the host of @sendsandsuffers and talk about topics and things that matter to me.
I hope you guys enjoy this conversation between Madison and I. For all your homies that work at some big wig companies she graduates soon so you might want to scoop this one up cuz she's got a heart and a drive.

"So be kind to everyone, because we all just want to send too".
