Erik spent the last few weeks adventuring in South America with today’s guest, Sebastian Currasco. Together they took on Ecuador’s 2nd highest mountain, Cotopaxi. It was a return to trip for both of them to this snow covered volcano pushing through the clouds just over 19,000 feet. The 2nd for Erik and perhaps dozens for Zuko. However, this time was different in a big way. When Sebastian's career as a professional mountain guide ended abruptly (you’ll hear why) his love for the mountains didn’t end with it, but his relationship to them, his family/friends, and ultimately himself went through a complete transformation. After losing the use of his legs in 2015, this former professional mountain climber shares with us how he overcame this tragedy and restarted his life.
