What's going on?! My name is Nick Fuentes, and I’m from San Antonio, Texas. I quit my job as a professional chef and business owner, and moved to Austin to immerse myself into the rock climbing community. I had recently discovered it and was in mad pursuit of a career in a field I knew nothing about. I was just stoked on rock climbing!! I got hired at Austin Rock Gym as an entry level desk personnel making minimum wage. There, I learned all about climbing and the technical systems involved. I began to get my feet wet with indoor instruction and knew that was what I wanted to do for a living. Shortly after I started at “ARG”, I began ticking off all the trad climbing prerequisites for the Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) course at Enchanted Rock. Fast forward 2 years, it's 2017, and I'm living out of my Jeep Wrangler somewhere in Las Vegas, Nevada. This became the stomping grounds and multi-pitch haven I would come to love. I ended up spending the next 8 months of my aimless life over there until I ran out of money after attending my SPI course with the AMGA. I spent a lot of time dialing in my systems and exploring new terrain like multi-pitch trad routes, summits, and all types of 4th and 5th class sketchy rappels, and other tantalizing summit experiences. In 2018, before leaving Las Vegas, I tested out with Instructor Elaina Arenz and received my official SPI certification from the AMGA. Inevitably, I ended up back in Texas where I now work as a climbing Instructor at a local climbing gym called Crux, I help teach the 101, top rope, and lead climbing classes. On the weekends I serve as a Single Pitch Instructor, and outdoor educator with a local non-profit organization called Explore Austin. This is a group whose main focus is getting children outdoors to participate in adventure sports. In the summer and fall seasons, I work in Colorado as a Trip Leader with Explore Austin, as well as another guide company called Outpost Wilderness Adventure (OWA). In my free time I do what I can to educate myself, train, and prepare for the next step in my career ladder ..the rigorous rock guide course. I take many trips to El Potrero Chico in Mexico (EPC) to get my big wall fill and I also enjoy flying around the to visit friends around the states for climbing adventure. I recently introduced my nephew and nieces to climbing and it has been a lot of fun. I'm always stoked to climb and I love meeting new people at the crag. I have established many profound relationships with my fellow rock climbers. What little time I do have, I enjoy relaxing and hanging with friends and family. Last but not least - keep the stoke HIGH!

Learning is about asking the right questions….and it’s also about knowing there is not always one right answer. In this episode of the podcast, we discuss learning and living a life of meaning with Jamie Matthews, a Master Teacher at the Acton School of Business in Austin, Texas. In addition to having found his calling as a world-class teacher, Jamie is a successful entrepreneur, experienced investor, and purposeful philanthropist. More importantly, he is one of those rare people whose positive energy and gratitude for living is irresistibly contagious, even on his “bad” days. We touched on a variety of related topics, including: The importance of mentoring and teaching others (hint: it doesn’t only benefit the student) The difference between lessons that are felt, versus those that remain on the surface Gaining comfort with ambiguity How to live with less regrets Why being a high achiever can make it more challenging to take risks How to formulate the right questions Finding and living your purpose, as opposed to following the “planned life” of others Practical tips for living in a way that matters Staying on the path The necessity of gratitude and acceptance Learning about the world, and ourselves, can be a lot of fun…but sometimes, it’s not. Join us as we discuss how to formulate the right questions, why it’s essential to push past comfort zones in the process of lifelong learning, and how to find purpose in our own unique journeys as students of ourselves. I hope you enjoy this show as we look into the purpose in the process of lifelong learning!   Links and More Information on this Topic: Jamie’s bio.

Think of the last time you accomplished a major goal in your life. In what way did that experience shape who you are now? Setting a big goal with a strong ‘why’ has the power to push us forward—even when we don’t want to—and can lead us towards achieving our ultimate potential. Which is why I’m excited to be talking with my buddy Brad Weimert today. With only 45 days to train, Brad has set an ambitious challenge to hike the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest twice. His goal is to raise $58,058 for Explore Austin—an organization that helps mold the youth of Austin into amazing, well rounded adults by teaching them life skills through adventure. Brad’s adventures never cease to amaze me, but what truly inspires me is the the message and meaning behind each of his goals. He reminds us that if there’s something you’re not doing because you’re uncomfortable or afraid, that’s probably your cue for moving towards it. The ripples that are created as a result, have the power to completely transform your world. In our conversation, we talk about the power of mentorship, his training routine, preparation techniques, mindset and much more.
