#211 - John Collinson - Big Mountain Free Skier & Adventure Athlete

Author: Alan Nash March 25, 2022 Duration: 51:43
John Collinson was born into adventure. With parents that thrived in the wilderness John and his sister Angel were destined for greatness.

Living an unconventional childhood John and his family – including older sister, Angel, also a pro skier – would climb peaks all over the west, with Johnny summiting Mount Rainier at age four and soon knocking off other iconic peaks across America like Mount Whitney, Mount Hood and Mount Shasta.

By age 17, he became the youngest person in the world to climb the Seven Summits, the highest peak on all seven continents, including the world’s tallest, Mount Everest.

John is currently recovering from a horrific accident and ACL re construction and Nashy caught up with him from his home in Utah.

Fitness, mindset and pushing yourself to the limit are constant themes during this conversation.

Hosted by Alan Nash, better known as Nashy, The GET AFTER IT Family Pod is a conversation series built on the idea that a full life requires equal parts ambition and balance. As an adventure enthusiast and father of three, Nashy brings a unique perspective, exploring how the drive that fuels elite performance can also shape a meaningful family life. The discussions here naturally weave through the worlds of sports, business, and personal growth. You’ll hear from a diverse mix of professional athletes, boundary-pushing entrepreneurs, and other compelling figures who have all learned to get after their goals. But this isn’t just about their public achievements. The conversations often delve into the personal philosophies and daily disciplines that allow these guests to thrive, while also touching on the challenges of maintaining connection and perspective outside of their careers. Each episode feels like an honest chat about pushing limits, whether that’s on a mountain, in a boardroom, or simply at home with loved ones. By sharing stories of calculated risks and intentional living, this podcast offers more than inspiration; it provides practical reflections on integrating passion with responsibility, all through the grounded, relatable lens of a dad who is figuring it out alongside his guests. Tune in for genuine dialogues that challenge the conventional separation between professional hustle and personal fulfillment.
