A Mountain Meister is defined as "a person that is expert in, or renowned for, his skill as a mountaineer".
Ben Schenck is the host of the MTNmeister podcast, a show dedicated to telling the stories of some of the most amazing people that participate in a variety of outdoor sports. He's had on mountain climbers, ultra marathoners, paralympians, and more. The one thing that all have in common is a love of the outdoors and a willingness to test their limits.
Ben has been inspired by many of his guests, and he is testing his own limits as he prepares to run his first marathon in a couple of weeks. In addition to talking a lot about his upcoming race, here are some other highlights from our conversation:
His preference for running naked.
He also enjoys running and getting lost.
How the MTNmeister brand got its name.
Branching out from a background in finance, and how many of the principals of the finance industry are very similar to those that he talks to on his podcast.
Lessons he's learned from the guests that have been on his show.
The concept of Loss Aversion, and how we all fall victim to it.
