This show is the reality of how good things that want to be done get stifled because the powers that be, want it their way or the highway.

Welcome to the Sends And Suffers podcast. I am your host, Mario Stanley.
Sends And Suffers is all about type two fun. No matter how much suffering you endured on your journey, the send always outweighs the suffering. I am a rock climber so I a lot about climbing trips, coaching climbing, bing a climbing guide, and the outdoor ethos.
Climbing saved my life. Climbing gave me an outlet that felt original. The community I grew up in didn’t believe black people did things like climb, and the climbing community I entered represented that fact 14+ years ago. I never had the luxury of caring whether I felt welcomed or not at climbing gym and crag if I wanted to rock climb. Luckily it was easier for me than others to adopt that “ all y'all, I’m here” attitude because that was the reality of being a black man coming into your own in the ’90s. I am here because I want to be, and rock climbing brings balance and peace to the warring parts of myself.

Taylor Turman is local to the Fort Worth, Texas climbing community. Right when Taylor started getting good, she took a 30+ ft. fall and suffered some injuries. I was the first responder on the scene and am stoked she has recovered with a bigger passion for climbing than ever.
