In this episode we speak to adventurist Erik Cooper. You can often find him in his own words doing ‘cool shit' such as competing in the Mongol Derby – the world's longest horse race – or helping to put together the Argentinian Gaucho Derby. Speaking in July from a ranch in Missouri, Erik goes in to detail about the three Travel Bubble destinations which, unusually, he has chosen based on the people - rather than the place itself. Erik is also a tour leader and we talk about his unique and bespoke adventure tours - where you need to pass an interview to be a guest, as well as how to make plans with nomads, freak snowstorms in the summer and where to get the best sautéed mushrooms. Erik has a fascinating and refreshing way of travelling – strongly believing that it is about the people and the relationships you build rather than the number of stamps in your passport. Erik left a quieter rural life in the USA at 18 to live in New York and later Los Angeles. His passion for horses has since seen him travel all corners of the globe. Listen to this episode for his Travel Bubble choices, top tips and some amazing stories along the way. I'd highly recommend following Erik on Instagram at @ErikCooperAdventurist, he has some amazing photos.

Marketplace ministry and public square ministry share something in common–the belief that, as Christians, we should live out the gospel in every area of life. Rather than separating our faith into “sacred” and “secular” spheres, we should do all to the glory of God and apply our faith at home, at school, at work and […] The post #197 Lessons from Marketplace Ministry with Erik Cooper first appeared on The Good Citizen Project.

Many believers struggle to understand the importance of business. Some wonder if they should be in the marketplace, or if they'd be better off in full-time ministry. At the very least, many Christians think that organized ecclesiastical ministry is more important or holy than work in the marketplace. Erik Cooper has been a pastor as well as a CEO of a large company. Erik sheds light on ministry in the marketplace and what God says about work and business. He shares his experiences with Brett of how we can make the most impact as believers and what God really is calling us to do. Listen to Erik help us make sense of what the Bible really says about work, the marketplace and missions.

What started out as an opportunity 3 men saw to serve their community and give to missions has grown into a company that has now given over $10 million away to missions work and provided over 2,500 homes for low-income families. But, it started with a borrowed office in a basement and one contract. This is a story of lives changed forever not from the glamorous entrepreneurial life, but because of constant, faithful grinding over decades.
Erik Cooper is an adventurer, traveler and equestrian. In 2012 he competed in the Mongol Derby, known as the longest and toughest horse race in the world.

It’s amazing how one adventure to an unfamiliar place can completely shift your perspective on the world. It can even change the trajectory of your entire life. Welcome to The Darin Olien Show. On this podcast, you’ll hear me, Darin Olien, “the superfood hunter,” have inspiring and enlightening conversations with extraordinary people from all walks of life. Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same- to save the planet one conversation at a time. If you’re interested in expanding your view of the world by learning new perspectives on health, nutrition and healing the planet, and want to learn more about society’s Fatal Conveniences™- the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to even though they may be doing harm- then this is the podcast for you. In this episode, I talk with the one and only Erik Cooper, adventurer extraordinaire. And when I say adventurer, I don’t mean someone who likes to go hiking or try new foods. I mean someone who is willing to immerse themselves entirely in an unfamiliar country, with a culture of nomadic people and go for broke competing in the toughest horse race in the world. Erik grew up on a horse farm in a small town in Missouri. He always knew he wanted to explore, and his love of horses was just as strong as his sense of adventure. At 24 he heard about the Mongol Derby, a grueling 10-day horse race through the rough terrain of rural Mongolia. Known as “The Toughest Horse Race in the World”, the Mongol Derby changed Erik in ways he never expected it to. I have such a fun conversation with Erik in this episode. He told me some crazy stories of his first experience with the Mongol Derby, but we also got into the deep stuff on how it changed him. You get to hear some hilarious anecdotes about wild stubborn horses, getting lost in the mud, and how incredibly tough and amazing the Mongolian nomads are. And we dabble in some other crazy adventures Erik has had and his love of Eagle Hunting, which isn’t what you think. This is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss. Other nuggets from my conversation with Erik: Erik’s reasons for being drawn to Mongolia What happens when someone breaks their neck in the middle of nowhere How Erik trained for his first Mongol Derby What happened in the first few minutes of the race Why the team aspect is so important during a race like the Mongol Derby Why Erik fell into a depression after getting back from his first Derby The glorious details of Eagle Hunting This episode’s Fatal Convenience™: Dental Floss Links: Erik Cooper on Instagram An interview with Erik in Forbes The Mongol Derby Download Darin’s amazing new lifestyle app and get 3 days free at 121Tribe.com Barukas Nuts 15% discount with code “DARIN” The Darin Olien Show is produced by the team at Must Amplify.

Erik Cooper signed up for the 2012 Mongol Derby, considered the longest and toughest horse race in the world spanning 600 miles through Mongolia, not knowing that it would change the trajectory of his entire life! It opened his eyes to a new form of travel that was exciting, raw, and at times a little scary. Now an event director for The Adventurists and operating his own adventure company leading trips throughout Mongolia, his multi-day horse or motorcycle expeditions to see the famous Eagle Hunters or Nomadic Reindeer Herders are not for the faint of heart! In this episode of The Occupation Wild Podcast Courtney and Nick sit down with Erik to talk about the price of true freedom, what you do when shit really hits the fan, tales from the Mongol Derby, Erik’s love for the people and culture of Mongolia and taking big risks! #lifebeyond9to5 Erik Cooper: https://www.instagram.com/erikcooperadventurist/ The Mongol Derby: https://www.theadventurists.com/guides/mongol-derby/

Episode 28: Erik Cooper, Vice President, Community Reinvestment Foundation “Purpose, clarity, and healthy culture don’t just randomly happen. If we aren’t intentionally focusing on those things - we will not have them.” Erik Cooper (@erikcooper) serves as the Vice President of Community Reinvestment Foundation (CRF), an affordable housing business that owns, sustains, and rehabs homes for people in need. In this episode, you’ll hear how Erik, a former pastor, weaves faith and work into this mission-based company - and how it impacts CRF’s organizational purpose. What is the organizational purpose? How can you, as a leader, bring it to life within your company? Erik believes all businesses have a purpose whether they know it or not. What is behind your why? Why do you do what you do? This purpose not only guides you on how to do things, but it also tells you what you shouldn’t do. Listen in as Erik gives his advice on building strong leadership [humility is key], and why you first must be clear with your personal ‘why’ before you develop an organizational ‘why.’
Dr. Tracy Kelly is a veterinarian who embodies the spirit of adventure. From endurance riding to being an equine vet and now reindeer riding, this adventurous vet has many an exciting story to tell. In today's episode Tracy takes us along on her journey to Mongolia to meet the nomadic Tsaatan tribe and their seemingly magical herd of reindeer. The episode starts out as Tracy describes the joy she and her daughter share in extreme adventure. It's this passion for exploring that brings them to find Erik Cooper @erikcooperadventurist who ultimately leads them on their journey through Mongolia. Being a nomadic life and having minimal resources you'll hear as they faced many a challenge, but equally were exposed the beauty of Mongolia and the little known way of life of the Tsaatan. It is a story full of excitement from Reindeer to rabid dogs. I was kept on the edge of my seat while recording and I hope you enjoy today's conversation with the ever inspiring Dr. Tracy Kelly.
