Supported by Athletic Brewing Company’s Two for the Trails program, which helps fund and expand efforts like We Explore Earth, this conversation highlights how community-driven outdoor experiences can lead to lasting impact. We dig into the barriers that keep many from feeling like the outdoors is “for them,” how intentional programming can shift that reality, and why connection is the first step toward conservation. It’s a powerful look at what it means to build something meaningful without compromise, and how investing in people is just as important as protecting places we love to explore.

Through AllTrails’ Public Lands Program and Stewards Fund, and by sharing initiatives like the Two for the Trails program from Athletic Brewing Company, Pitt shares how organizations, businesses, and communities are coming together to turn outdoor participation into meaningful conservation outcomes. This episode is an inspiring look at what’s possible when we invest in the places that connect us all.

In this episode of Without Compromise, we sit down with professional triathlete Justin Riele just days after a major life decision: leaving behind a 10-year career in corporate America to pursue triathlon full-time.

Justin shares what led to that leap, the tension of stepping away from security, and the mindset required to chase excellence at the highest level of endurance sport.  With Athletic Brewing IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside this weekend, our conversation offers a real-time look at what it means to bet on yourself.

Justin’s journey mirrors a familiar ethos that rings true in our brewery: building something meaningful requires risk, discipline, and a willingness to go all in.

Raised in Santa Fe, Claire’s early connection to the mountains shaped both her identity and her career. But it was her lived experience navigating outdoor culture that ultimately inspired her to launch SheJumps, an organization dedicated to increasing participation and leadership for women and girls across skiing, climbing, mountain biking, and beyond.

This conversation moves beyond origin stories. Claire reflects on what “access” truly means, how inclusivity in outdoor culture has evolved over time, and what it takes to scale a grassroots idea into a national nonprofit without losing its soul.

She also shares honest insights on risk, failure, and the mindset required to build something meaningful from the ground up.

Alison grew up in London and built a career spanning music management, estates, real estate, and civic engagement. But the through-line in her work has always been culture and access. Today, through Culture Club South Bay (CCSB), she’s helping reshape who feels ownership and belonging over the California coast.

CCSB provides free beach culture and outdoor recreation camps for youth ages 8–13 across Los Angeles County. But this isn’t just surf lessons, it’s surfing, beach sports, environmental education, food, arts, and local history, all rooted in the legacy of Bruce’s Beach and the long history of exclusion from coastal spaces. The mission goes beyond exposure. It’s about confidence, leadership, and long-term belonging.

This conversation traces Alison’s journey from her personal story into the deeper sense of purpose that now guides her work, and explores how something beautiful can grow where joy, history, and healing meet.

We also get candid about the realities of life as a creator: burnout, algorithms, brand partnerships, and staying authentic while working with companies you genuinely believe in, like Athletic Brewing. Matt reflects on what it means to take the outdoors seriously without taking yourself too seriously, and how laughter can be an entry point for more people to feel like they belong outside. It’s a thoughtful, funny conversation about identity, community, and finding your lane on the trail and online.

We sit down with Jeff Byard, Senior Vice President of Operations at Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization that mobilizes volunteers to respond to disasters and humanitarian crises.

Jeff shares lessons from a career in emergency management, including what effective leadership looks like in moments of uncertainty, how veterans and civilians find renewed purpose through service, and why showing up consistently matters more than titles or recognition.

This conversation is a reminder that the start of a new year is not just about resolutions, but about commitment to others, to community, and to doing the work when it counts.

Athletic Brewing is proud to support Team Rubicon and those who choose service without compromise.

Now, as CEO, Scott is steering IRONMAN into the future while honoring its rich legacy. He shares what he’s learned from standing at finish lines around the world, how the IRONMAN ethos of “Anything is Possible” applies to both athletes and everyday people, and what excites him about the movement’s next chapter. Outside of his role, Scott is an avid mountaineer, having completed the Seven Summits earlier this year. 

Athletic Brewing and IRONMAN have partnered for years, built on a shared belief that balance, resilience, and community matter as much as performance. Together, they’re helping athletes celebrate their pursuits, without compromise.

When we first released this episode, Lynn Rogers was deep in the fight of navigating her new reality after the sudden onset of CIDP, a rare neurological condition that had left her unable to walk just weeks before she was supposed to compete in her first IRONMAN.

Her resilience, perspective, and determination struck a powerful chord with listeners. So much so, in fact, that her story became the inspiration for Athletic Brewing’s 2024 documentary, Inches to Miles.

Since the release of that film, there’s been a major development: Lynn recently completed an IRONMAN, officially finishing what she set out to do years ago. Her journey from paralysis to the finish line is a remarkable example of what it means to live Without Compromise.

We’re replaying this conversation to honor that achievement and give you a deeper look at the person behind the headlines.

After listening, be sure to:

• Watch Inches to Miles (2024). It’s free on YouTube
• Follow @AthleticBrewing for behind-the-scenes updates and Lynn’s latest finish line moment

Before Cameron was a champion on the court in Britain, he was a three-year-old from South Africa who had recently moved to New Zealand, a place not well known for producing tennis stars. 

Norrie fell in love with the game over other popular New Zealand sports like rugby and cricket and quickly rose the ranks to become the 10th-ranked junior in the world. Realizing just how good he was, he eventually moved to Great Britain to pursue tennis full-time and even spent his college years in Texas pursuing the sport. 

On today’s episode we’re sitting down with Cameron to hear the ins and outs of the life of a pro, how he manages the demands of playing and travel, and some of his best stories from pursuing this game around the world.

He quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the premiere strongmen in the county (where? In the world?) and began setting records. With his success in what’s often considered one of the most masculine sports in the world, Rob felt he wasn’t being true to himself and those around him. In 2014 he built up the courage to come out, the first professional strongman to do so. As you’ll hear, this was far from easy for Rob. There was a constant fear about what his parents, friends, fellow competitors, and the world would think of him. 

Taking the road less traveled is never easy, especially when you’re the one who has to blaze the trail. Today, we will hear Rob’s story and experience of living without compromise and how the weight we carry is not always made of iron and steel.

However, as life often does, it threw Matt a tough curveball with what seemed like an unsolvable problem. His balance was off, he was constantly exhausted, his vision was blurry, and so on.  

After months of doctor appointments, ER visits, and no answers, Matt was left with a sense of bewilderment about the changes happening to him. After collapsing on a work trip and being rushed to the hospital by his work colleagues, he was finally diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and told he would be wheelchair-bound within five years. 

Today, we’ll hear about Matt’s journey since the diagnosis, how he got back into running, and how he set his goals far beyond what he imagined before this life-altering news. This leads us to what’s next. Starting June 15th, Matt is planning to run from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Casey, Iowa, in an effort to raise awareness and funds for MS Run the US. You can follow along with his journey here. 

Be sure to watch Inches to Miles on Tuesday, June 4th, at 8 pm EST here.

Fast forward to today and Garrett has been the Brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewing for over 30 years. 

Something he couldn’t help but notice in the industry is the lack of diversity. Being one of the only black brewers in the early days has instilled in him the desire to re-diversify brewing through his work with the Michael James Jackson Foundation. They are an organization that funds brewing education scholarships to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. 

Athletic Brewing has been proudly supporting the Michael James Jackson Foundation since 2022 through the sale of Soul Sour, a fierce and fruit-forward sour brew crafted annually in honor of Black History Month. 100% of Soul Sour’s profits will be donated to organizations breaking down barriers in brewing, including Sacred Heart University and the Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing and Distilling, which are crafting opportunities for BIPOC brewers through scholarships, education, and career advancement.

The 1897 journey was dubbed “The Great Experiment” in national newspapers that cared to pay attention to the 41-day adventure, which crossed through some of the harshest conditions and terrain in the American West, spanning Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Missouri. 

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of this experiment and to start a movement to identify these brave men and bicycle travel pioneers, in 2022, Erick Cedeño, aka the Bicycle Nomad, retraced the route and history of the All-Black, bicycle-mounted 25th Infantry.

The tingling led to complete numbness to the point that Lynn couldn’t walk or use her lower body. She was subsequently diagnosed with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), the chronic form of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). It’s is a rare disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the nerves, leading to weakness and sometimes paralysis. She would spend months in the hospital, repeatedly making progress and then relapsing. 

“My story is shared by thousands but my experience as a scientist and an athlete has made the journey uniquely my own. I have learned innumerable lessons about surviving life’s challenges, even how to surpass every expectation. I want to share what I know.” - Lynn

On this episode, Lynn shares her experience with CIPD and the impact it had on her life and her journey to recovery and what the experience has taught her about living Without Compromise.

As we straddle right between Veterans Day and Thanksgiving, we decided to highlight both with a unique episode. We’re hearing short stories from a handful of ambassadors about things they are unexpectedly thankful for this year. This is because so many of the guests on Without Compromise have mentioned gratitude as being one of their best daily practices or something that helps them live Without Compromise. 

We’ll also be hearing from our Director of Operations and veteran, Chris Kallam, about our Veterans Day beer, Ready Front, which is still available at AthleticBrewing.com

After a major crossroad in his life, he began to learn the power of habits, both good and bad. After making the change, he decided to start a podcast to discuss with others how habits can make or break you. Through his podcast, he brings awareness to the impact habits have on our mental health, success and the environment.

After interviewing so many inspiring guests, he also decided to start a nonprofit, also called Consequence of Habit, to help expand this vision of building a life on good habits in a bigger way. 

We are celebrating our veterans once again with Ready Front IPA. This brew for the brave was formulated in collaboration with a team of veterans with 100% of profits going to veteran-focused organizations like Catch A Lift and Team RWB.

"Inspiration comes easily to Anthony Cooper-Jenkins.

It extends from his heart through many arteries – like his family, the cycling community, his favorite music, and his experiences growing up as a black man in both the United States and Venezuela – right out through his fingertips and onto canvas.

His work is eye-catching for its detail and emotion, often portraying portraits of influential people in Anthony’s life and within the Black community. Those who know him may be lucky to one day get a piece of his art."

Today we’re talking with Anthony, one of our ambassadors at Athletic Brewing, about what inspires him, how a dream helped him rediscover his love of art, and what he does to live life without compromise.

Mike Chambers and his adventure partner, Jason Antin, think otherwise. In fact, they think you can leave the office on Friday at 5pm, have an adventure of a lifetime and be back at work at 9am on Monday. Is it easy? Of course not. Is it worth it? C’mon now. 

It all started when Mike was living in Boston and Jason was based in Colorado and the two came up with the bright idea of summiting Mt. Rainier in a true weekend. To the astonishment of the park rangers that hesitantly granted them the permit, their plan worked. Although the morning meetings that Monday were not as productive as they usually were, they both walked away with a pretty epic response to the age-old question, “what did you do this weekend?” 

Once the concept of Beat Monday was proven, Jason and Mike began dreaming of what else could be possible with this format. Bikerafting, big wall climbing, ultrarunning, and international travel began to fill their weekends and was even made into an OutsideTV series, Beat Monday. 

Mike is joining us today to tell us about what he’s learned through the Beat Monday mindset and what’s possible for you to beat whatever your Monday is.

For Maddie, it was the ultimate athletic experience. Being a marathoner, she had a leg up on folks starting from scratch, but running is still only one-third of the skills you need for a triathlon, so the math was still against her. 

Despite many setbacks and many times she could have logically bowed out of training and preparation, Maddie continued through every challenge, all the way up to race day (the ocean waves were crazy!). After 140.6 miles she heard those fateful words, “You are an IRONMAN!”. 

Listen in to hear the biggest lessons that Maddie learned in preparation and on race day, and what it takes to finish an IRONMAN without compromise.

When Billy’s mother, Betty, was diagnosed with cancer he decided to return home to Massachusetts instead of leaving for his climbing trip to Nepal. Billy had just graduated from college in Colorado and the world was seemingly his oyster. 

As his mother’s cancer worsened, those free-spirited experiences became less and less important and were ultimately replaced with grief after Betty tragically passed away from cancer in 1974. 

After floundering a few years and wondering how to process the grief, Billy’s desire to “do something” continued to grow. He took action in 1980 by organizing the first Pan-Mass Challenge as a way to make sense of the grief and carry on the legacy of his mother. 

The challenge would be to ride a bicycle across Massachusetts and raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Foundation. 36 people joined that first year and they raised $10,000. The PMC was born. 

As founder and executive director of the Pan-Mass Challenge for over 40 years, Billy has grown the PMC into the largest single fundraising event in the country. To date, more than $700 million dollars has been raised, 6,000 riders participate every year with 4,000 volunteers and participation from 200 companies.

She thought of the time she had put in, the struggle of near career-ending injuries, surgeries and setbacks, and the feeling of coming to terms with never running again. It made her want to run her best and leave it all on the course, and for the first time in a while, have fun. 

To her and many others’ surprise, Molly placed second in the marathon, showing that a solid foundation can help you succeed in unfamiliar territory when you’re going against the grain. 

Molly’s story is filled with unexpected turns, twists, and setbacks but ultimately proves once again that for many of us, perseverance is the secret to success.

Even though the journey was most likely unforgettable to them, history didn’t seem to take note of their ground-breaking experience for women and Black cyclists nearly a century ago. That is, until historian Marya McQuirter, found the picture and newspaper article in the mid-1990s and was immediately compelled to spread the word about this great accomplishment. 

Fast forward to May of 2021 where the legacy continues. Daniela Ochoa Diaz, an Athletic Brewing Ambassador, joined four other women to recreate the journey nearly 100 years later. Today Daniela will tell us the story of that ride, how it went, and where the legacy goes from here.

Check out the most recent blog post where we ask our founders, Bill and John, three big questions.

Have you ever taken a sip of an Athletic brew and thought, how in the world did someone come up with this great-tasting non-alcoholic craft beer? If so, you're in luck. We’re sitting down and talking with Bill Shufelt, the founder of Athletic Brewing Company, to talk about his vision and idea that sparked this entire movement and John's equally risky commitment and brewing expertise that set a series of events in motion that continually grows in size and influence. Frankly, it’s the reason this show even exists. 

Last week we celebrated 3 years in existence and wanted to revisit this interview with Bill recorded in late 2019. Cheers to many more years of great beer!

A quick Google Maps search and a few emails later, Laura devised a plan to elevate women’s sports higher than it has ever gone, literally. The idea was to gather a group of women to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and play an official game of soccer near the summit. 

The journey became a gathering of 60 women from around the world with referees, goals, etc. all climbing above 18,000 ft. to play a soccer game. Their efforts stand as a Guinness World Record, a testament to their dedication to raising the coverage and opportunity for women in sports, and was the genesis of Equal Playing Field, a non-profit Laura co-founded. 

After the success of climbing Kilimanjaro, Laura continued to chase Guinness World Record soccer matches to raise awareness for women in sports and show the world women can do anything. The lowest elevation soccer game was played at the Dead Sea in 2018, and two world records were achieved in France thereafter for the most nationalities represented in a soccer game. 

The long-term action Laura has taken is through her startup, Ida Sports, which is aiming to create a soccer boot specific to women, something that has never been done successfully, but something needed due to fundamental differences in men's and women’s feet. 

If you learn anything from Laura, it’s that you shouldn’t be afraid of going down a path no one has ever gone before, especially if a better world is on the other side.

Wanting to be involved in the lively scene of microbreweries and the energy that surrounds them Cara took what she thought would be a short-term job during a stint in New Jersey before planning to move and do something else. With unforeseen short staffing, Cara was quickly thrown into the brewing process itself. A little help with loading tanks here, a little help pouring hops there and the next she knew, she was brewing beer start to finish...and loved it!

For International Women’s Day, Cara is honoring that can-do spirit by brewing a special Athletic Brewing beer, Trailblazer, with all proceeds benefiting Pink Boots Society. Trailblazer follows a crisp peach nose through cairns of citrus and florals, peaking at a whole new elevation of hops. The descent is smooth and at times bitter, a true taste of success on a trail hard-traveled. And our toast to those who’ve traveled it before and those still blazing their own path.

Meet Wesley. He was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy which affects his fine motor skills on the right side of his body. The only problem? He finds peace and joy climbing mountains and hiking trails in places that folks with cerebral palsy “aren’t supposed to go”. 

He couldn’t let that stop him. His love for the outdoors has led him to climb every mountain in Colorado over 14,000 ft (54 of them), thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail (2,653 miles) from Mexico to Canada, and has ultimately led to a career in the outdoors through working for the American Hiking Society. 

Athletic Brewing is a proud supporter of AHS through our Two For The Trails program. We just launched a brand new Two For The Trails grant program where organizations all over the country can apply to get funding for trail-based projects. Athletic Brewing has committed to giving $500,000 worth of grants by June, so if you or anyone you know would like to apply, go here. Two For The Trails

This love of adventure has led her to be the world’s leading women for total ‘fastest known times’, or FKTs, a challenge to do an outdoor route or trail faster than anyone has done it before. To date, she has 39 of these records with no other woman in the world having more.

Her most recent FKT attempt was to cross, on foot, 165-miles of the arid moonscape that is Death Valley. The journey was treacherous and beautiful. It was everything in one. The challenges she faced out there were not what you would expect from a desert either.

Even after excelling at track and football, the foundation of swimming was what Marcus always came back to and also excelled in. He eventually went to college on a track and swimming scholarship, giving him a leg up in the sport of triathlons, which he would soon discover. 

Seeing a lack of diversity in the sport for a multitude of reasons, Marcus began to strategically find ways to break down the barriers in his community to create avenues for new folks, especially those of color and minorities, to try and excel in triathlons. 

This led him to organize the District Triathlon club in DC as an official 501(c)3. After a handful of successful years growing the community and seeing even more potential, Marcus then decided to start GRIT USA, an adult endurance and multisport development program for triathletes. 

Today Marcus splits his time between growing GRIT, pursuing his other goals like the Speed Project, and using his platform in the DC area to continue to be a voice of change, equality, and hope.

After refamiliarizing himself with the White Mountains that he still calls home, the constant questioning from like-minded folks wanting to know the best places to go just off the beaten path, as well as folks wanting to dip their toes in this new backcountry craze, led Andrew down a path he never thought he’d lead...retail. 

Having opened his shop, Ski the Whites, to help satiate the area’s needs, the growth of community and adventure has only risen as well. Now outfitting folks for skiing, biking, and running, the shop has even begun dabbling in coffee to further meet folks where they are with what they with the focus always being on a solid community.

On top of owning and operating an outfitting company, Andrew serves on the board of the Granite Backcountry Alliance and he joins today to tell us about his journey and impact on and off the mountain.

Just a few days after this call the team experienced one of the most bizarre and wild mishaps I’ve ever heard of. Listen to the episode for an update on what happened…

Let’s wish them luck and a continued safe journey to the finish line in Antigua. 

Follow their progress by downloading YB Races app.

Growing up in Colorado and now residing in the Tahoe area, the outdoors were the places he felt at home and at peace. That’s when Pete started to explore the idea of leaving the world of road cycling for the up-and-coming gravel scene. It was a place that accepted newcomers, valued community and good beer, but also gave the edge to not just the fastest riders, but the toughest. 

An unlikely full recovery is what even made this dream of going gravel possible. In today’s episode, we’re hearing a story of endurance, optimism, and the power of betting on yourself.

That wasn’t the case for Kaylin. She cut her teeth on a 125 ft. hill in Minnesota, mastering the fundamentals. From those humble beginnings, she advanced her skills enough to represent the U.S. Olympic team twice!

It took living a life without compromise for her to reach the heights she has. Since her “retirement” at 25, she has pursued other interests like being a mom and being featured in eight Warren Miller ski films. 

Her story is inspiring and her love for the winter will get you excited for the season!

You may recognize Chris as the winner of Top Chef Masters, a competitor on The Next Iron Chef, and for his appearances on Iron Chef America but his story did not start as one of immediate promise. He struggled as a student with undiagnosed Dyslexia and his first dabblings in the kitchen came from a restaurant not necessarily known for cultivating protégé-level talent, IHOP. 

But his story, as you’ll hear, is one that doesn’t follow a predetermined trajectory. A decade of professional cycling later and a love for cooking with the more forgotten parts of animals, Chris has carved quite a niche for himself and his unconventionality makes him a perfect fit for the Athletic Brewing community, a group that fully embraces aiming for what is beyond commonplace. 

In celebration of flavor, life, and hard work without compromise, Athletic Brewing has partnered with Chef Cosentino to launch a collaborative beer known as AfterShift. The limited-release IPA is a crisp and complex beer born out of an unlikely camaraderie between chef and brewer—both rule-breakers and taste-makers colluding to bring something to the table like never before. 

Order AfterShift here. Free shipping for two 6-packs or more

To go from a professional hopeful to having his entire career, and even his life, in jeopardy, Kevin still committed to go to Wake Forest and figure out a solution. 

Despite having lost 40lb of muscle, being hours from home, and a freshman on such a large campus, Kevin persisted. That dedication and devotion to being his best was one of the reasons Wake Forest was so excited to recruit Kevin in the first place. 

What Kevin needed now though, was a new kidney and everyone around him was coming up as a non-match. That is, until his head coach, Tom Walter, was tested. 

We’ll let them tell their story, but know that Kevin and Tom’s story has been told countless times across many platforms. What’s different now is that they are taking their story and turning it into a movement called Get in the Game. 

Their aim is to educate, inspire, and empower a generation of young people to take action in their homes, schools, and communities. 

Athletic Brewing has partnered with Get in the Game to help bring about their vision where all races, creeds, income levels, and gender identities have equal opportunities and view the world with hope and endless possibility.

Ryan’s athletic pursuits eventually led him to the basketball court where he would spend his high school and college years excelling in the sport at a high level. The combination of being comfortable outdoors and the agility that basketball demands led Ryan to excel in the up and coming sport of obstacle course racing and even growing into being a professional in the sport. 

Like many professional athletes, Ryan has faced near career-ending injuries, adjustments in focus, and changes in passions. He has since returned his focus to the outdoors and recently accomplished the fastest-known-time of climbing all five of Vermont's 4,000 ft peaks and connecting them by bike! 

No matter what sport Ryan decides to focus on, it’s clear that he lives a life Without Compromise and continues to share what he knows with his students and mentees.

As his mother’s cancer worsened, those free-spirited experiences became less and less important and were ultimately replaced with grief after Betty tragically passed away from cancer in 1974. 

After floundering a few years and wondering how to process the grief, Billy’s desire to “do something” continued to grow. He took action in 1980 by organizing the first Pan-Mass Challenge as a way to make sense of the grief and carry on the legacy of his mother. 

The challenge would be to ride a bicycle across Massachusetts and raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Foundation. 36 people joined that first year and they raised $10,000. The PMC was born. 

As founder and executive director of the Pan-Mass Challenge for over 40 years, Billy has grown the PMC into the largest single fundraising event in the country. To date, more than $700 million dollars has been raised, 6,000 riders participate every year with 4,000 volunteers and participation from 200 companies.

Right as he began garnering big wins and making a name for himself, he and his girlfriend, Sabrina, were struck by a semi on the highway. Avery suffered some major injuries that caused him to rethink his direction in life and if he’d ever get back out on the trail. After an arduous six months, he was able to start to run again. 

Fast forward a few years and Avery is now one of the fastest ultrarunners in the world and frequently podiums at iconic races like the Georgia Death Race, Colorado 200, Fat Dog 120, Hurt 100, and dozens more. He finished 6th overall at Western States in 2017. 

In 2020, he’ll be attempting an FKT of the legendary Nolan’s 14 Route in Colorado, Tor des Geants in Italy, and the Snowman Race in Bhutan

Today Ethan is joining Without Compromise to talk about what it means to survive difficult situations and ultimately use those tragedies for good in a principle he calls “never letting a crisis go to waste”. For example, when he won the $1 million prize for Survivor: Africa he decided to use the money to start Grassroot Soccer, an adolescent health organization that uses the popularity of soccer to educate at-risk youth all over the world. To date, they’ve educated over 2 million young people through their program.

Kristin is now remarried and has officially started a new journey, motherhood. She also works as a wilderness planner for Denali National Park and has recently written a book about her experiences, This Much Country, which made the New York Times summer reading list in 2019. It can be found following the link below or pretty much anywhere else you buy books (she asks that you support your local bookstore).

However, today’s episode is not about her life in Alaska. It’s about her and her family making the enormous change to restart their lives in Texas. Listen in to hear about how continuing to live in Alaska would have led to compromise and how a complete change in identity is sometimes the best direction to go.

It hasn’t gone to his head, though. He started mogul skiing before switching to park competitions and chipping a career out over the years. He says it has humbled him and led to a certain amount of contentment over the years. 

He’s incredibly down to earth and always eager to talk about health, longevity, and his used veggie oil-fueled adventure truck. He joins us from his home near Whistler, BC.

When Bill reached out, John was immediately hooked with the crazy idea and took the leap from a great brewpub in Santa Fe, New Mexico (where he was highly awarded) to take on the intellectual challenge of solving non-alcoholic beer. 

As you’ll hear from John, the experience has been life-changing and rewarding beyond what he ever thought was possible. Every ounce of Athletic Beer is brewed with the excitement in knowing we’re breaking new ground for folks all over the country.
