145. Trish Holt - The Big Sky Spectaculaire & Sobriety

My Back 40

The last time Trish was on the podcast we had a fantastic conversation and this time around did not disappoint.

I was out on a ride and I sent her a voice message asking if she'd be okay if we dove deep on a couple of topics. This made for a really fun and flowing chat. We talk about her finishing the The Big Sky Spectaculaire, a 1500km route with 12,555m of gain. She finished in 7 days. 12 people signed up, 6 people started and 3 people finished. She shares a few stories about her adventure, trail magic and people. Trish is a great story teller.

Later in the podcast, I make a pretty hard pivot to talk about her sobriety. She shares the why behind it and we discuss how substance use can be a slippery slope that can easily turn into a coping mechanism.

In this podcast I mention a couple of books and podcasts that I have indulged in lately. They are:

Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

The Alter Ego Effect

The Lex Friedman Podcast with Joscha Bach
