EP 19: Dating in High School, Epicing on Epinephrine, and Starting a Business at 22 with Trinidad Collier (Part 1)

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast! 

This episode is part 1 of my conversation with Trinidad Collier. Trin is the co-founder of a hiking guiding business in Alaska, Northern Epics. He is also an adventurer, a white water enthusiast, and a climber. Trin is also an ex of mine! We dated back in 2018 and 2019, during both of our senior years of high school. 

In part 1 of our conversation we talk about:

• how we met in an outdoor class in high school
• Trin's childhood and early teenage years
• Trin's choice to not go to college after high school
• working on a fishing boat in Alaska in winter
• living in a Subaru Outback during the pandemic
• a wild day and night climbing the famous route Epinephrine in Red Rocks
• moving to Alaska on a whim in 2022 
• founding a business at the age of 22!

We cover a lot of ground in this one, and had a lot of fun. Check out Northern Epics, linked below!
