MTNTOUGH: Origins, Staying Ready, and Leading By Being Second (w/ Dustin Diefenderfer)

Author: Kyle Kamp August 17, 2024 Duration: 1:01:17
My guest this week is Dustin Diefendurfer.  Dustin runs MTNTOUGH- a program and app that has become synonymous with training the dedicated.  This includes folks in the military, backcountry hunters, thru-hikers, wildland firefighters, ultra-runners, and just about everything in between.     Having had the chance to get to know Dustin and the entire crew over at MTNTOUGH through work we’ve done together in the last year has been nothing short of a great experience and learn from the exception attitudes, work ethic, and thinking they operate from everyday.  I wanted you all to get to experience that.    So, we cover the origins of MTNTOUGH and it’s grown over the years.  What’s been good- and difficult- about that.  How the most impactful things rarely start out as trying to create any kind impact at all.  We talk about making decisions and when to take leaps and at what point are decisions just plain stupidity….and so much more.  ---- Check out more from MTNTOUGH here.  Resources on nutrition?  Check out Valley to Peak here.
