Grit With Wisdom
Jake Johnstone from The Mind Mountain delves deep into the inner psyche, tools & tactics of Mountain Bikers in order to understand what it takes to push the boundaries of the sport from a mental & emotional perspective. Whether it be from a top performing pro racers perspective, or from that of an ambassador or coach, Jake aims to break down any stigma and normalise conversations around feelings and emotions in the sport of mountain biking.
Grit With Wisdom
Geoff Livingston - shares his perspective from behind the lens, and what it means to be 'capable' as a Mountain Biker.
Today on the show we have Geoff Livingston. Geoff is a North Vancouver local Mountain Biker, Photographer, Dad, and Cancer Survivor.
Having been through some incredibly tough circumstances, Geoff sheds an interesting perspective on what it means to be a mountain biker, and what is important in life. We talk about the mental rollercoaster of going from his highest high, completing the Great Divide - a 4350km bike ride, to being diagnosed with cancer and what he has learned along the way.
In his professional life, Geoff is an entrepreneur at heart and is in the process of re-designing his professional career, to align more closely with his passion for Mountain Biking and community. He was recently involved in filming the Raceface pick-a-part video series featuring none other than Wade Simmons, Steve Vanderhoek, and Georgia Astel.
So today, we’re going to gain a look into the perspective behind the lens. What is it like to watch someone who is obviously nervous, hit a sketchy feature with mind-boggling consequences, from behind a camera.
You can find Geoff @livingston.geoff on Instagram, and check out his new business, Capable Concepts, which we chat about during the show at capableconcepts.ca
