Enormocast 329: Cole Brauer – Every Day the Sea Part 2

Subscribe

On Episode 329 of the Enormocast, I resume my conversation with sailor, Cole Brauer. Cole made history and won the internet when she raced solo around the world in 2023. She live-streamed and updated often from her 130 day journey alone, finally coming in 2nd in the Global Solo Challenge. She was the first American woman to race nonstop around the globe. Then her personal doldrums set in as she resumed life onshore. Lost and bewildered by modernity and celebrity pressures, it took a year or more for Cole to return to the joys of sailing and racing. In the meantime, she finished her book, First Light, and eventually found the sea again. When opportunity knocked, Cole took a chance and joined Team Malizia and started racing one of the most high-tech boats on the ocean. First Light is in stores now.

Enormocast 328: Matt Cornell – The Right Reasons

Subscribe

On Episode 328 of the Enormocast, we sit down with alpinist and Michigander, Matt Cornell. That’s right, one of the world’s best alpinists grew up in the mountain-less upper Midwest dreaming of vertical playgrounds beyond his home State’s borders. Despite the pressures of modern suburban expectations, Matt moved into his hatchback and become a climbing bum post high school. But it was a suggestion of a mentor that convinced Matt to move to Bozeman and become an ice climber. After a season or two of bumbling his way into the hard-nose and hard-knock scene in Hyalite Canyon, Matt’s fuse was lit and the greater ranges beckoned. An epic or two later, Matt’s burgeoning skills finally started to knab him first ascents and coalesced a crew of like minded climbers around Cornell. Epically, but not finally, Cornell, Jackson Marvell, and Alan Rousseau did what some would say is the finest alpine style ascent of all time on the North Face of Jannu in 2023.
