Originally aired June 30, 2016.Craig Dinkel's adventurous life began with a near-drowning at the very young age of just 2. But instead of this experience leaving him with a fear of water, Craig ultimately became an excellent swimmer competing for Cal State and qualifying for the Olympic trials. He’s an entrepreneur having grown a company from ground level into a half-billion dollar market only to be wiped out by the dot-com crash. Craig eventually found himself at the summit of 13,775 ft Grand Teton in Wyoming and ultimately caught the bug to attempt a thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail and hopefully bag the triple crown thru-hiking the Continental Divide Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and the Appalachian Trail. Craig is also the founder and owner of the supplements company BioTropic Labs.Support Adventure Sports Podcast monthly by going to Patreon.com/AdventureSportsPodcast or make a one-time donation to the show here. Do you want to take charge of your health and wellness and have better sleep, more energy, and a healthier immune system?
