<p><strong>Today on the podcast, we’re joined by a true professional of the mountain world—Larry Goldie.</strong> A professional mountain guide with over three decades of experience, Larry’s career has taken him from the rugged peaks of the North Cascades to the remote heights of Antarctica, with stops in Alaska, the Alps, Japan, Africa, and nearly every major mountain range in between.</p><p>Larry was the 28th American to earn the prestigious IFMGA certification, marking him as one of the elite few qualified to guide internationally in the rock, alpine, and ski disciplines. But what really sets him apart isn’t just his resume—it’s his passion for people. Whether he's breaking trail on a deep powder day, coaching everyday athletes to reach their potential, or mentoring the next generation of guides, Larry brings a deep love for the process and the people that make mountain time so meaningful.</p><p>He lives in Winthrop, Washington with his wife and daughter, and has spent a lifetime learning how to balance family, adventure, and high performance. From first ascents in the Cascades to heli-skiing the best snow on Earth, Larry’s journey is both inspiring and refreshingly down-to-earth.</p><p>So so I trust you will enjoy this conversation as we dig into the life, lessons, and snowy tales of Larry Goldie."**</p>

<p>Today’s guest is Alex Morrow, the founder of MOPS and MOEs a podcast and education platform that focuses on improving the fitness of the force. Alex created MOPs & MOEs after realizing how antiquated the Army’s approach to fitness was, and after many attempts (and failures) to bring attention to this issue from the inside. He graduated from West Point in 2013 and spent eight years on active duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division and 10th Mountain Division before landing at the US Army Physical Fitness School. Once he got a taste of the human performance world, he knew he couldn’t turn back. He continues to serve as an intelligence officer in the Army Reserve while working full-time on modernizing Army fitness.</p><p>One challenge that many people have is the ability to get to the mountains. Sometime that is time, some times it is location and other times is based in fear, or a lack of skill to get after the thing confidently. </p><p>All of the guests on this podcast have been experts in some facet of operating in the mountains. Our guest today is a really good friend. I asked him on to talk about his progression into spending more time in the the mountains. If you’re wanting to get out more often, this discussion, I hope, will highlight how you are not alone.</p><p>Some of the Books mentioned:</p><ul><li>The Nature Fix</li><li>Spark</li><li>Go Wild</li></ul>

<p>Zach White is the first repeat guest on the podcast and this episode dives into a narrative of the Battle of Monte La Difensa.</p><p>This episode was recorded back in November and Zach is the first repeat guest on the podcast. The purpose of this discussion was to talk a battle analysis he did a ton of research into. He completed a battle analysis as part of his NCO professional development on the Battle of Monte La Difensa, which is one of the mountain battles of WW2. </p><p>This episode was intended for Zach to share some work he was putting in to develop himself and also to enable him to receive feedback. I’d love to have other people on this show in the future that are working through their own problems or projects so that we can share, discuss and workshop what you are working on.</p><p>We start talking about Lance Blythe’s book “Ski, Climb, Fight” I have since received the book and am really enjoying it. I am looking forward to having lance on the pod in the future, once I finish the book. </p><p>If you stick around through the hour mark, we transition to talking tactics and takeaways from the battle analysis that Zach presented.</p><p>If you have not listened to episode 2: Mortars in the Mountains, then I recommend listening to that episode, because you get a really great sense of Zach’s passion and expertise. Enjoy this episode.</p><p><br></p><p>LINK TO SLIDES</p>
