Episode 1 - Jorge Latre

Jorge Latre is an ultra runner, an Arctic explorer, a pilot, an electrical engineer, and a fascinating and insightful man. In winter 2018, he completed the Iditasport 1000 (which runs from Anchorage to Nome along the Iditarod trail) on foot, using snowshoes.

We talked about the Arctic, this race, how he prepared for it, and the concepts of mastery, pain, and how to discover what you’re good at.
