Episode 61 | You Are Worth It! - Brian Goldstein

About this episode

Brian Goldstein shares his experience with Team Green Lightning during the 29029 endurance challenge at Whistler 2024.

At Whistler 2024 there was a different kind of green that covered the slopes of Blackcomb Mountain. Among the old-growth forest of towering trees every once in a while you’d spot a a green flash……flourescent green to be exact on top of the heads of the crew from Google. Those hats belonged to Team Green Lightning. Some may argue there is nothing “lightening” when you are climbing 4 mile 3900 foot ascents up a mountain for 36 hours, but a team they were. Colleagues by day, turned cheerleaders and confidants on the mountain. Brian Goldstein was part of Team Green Lightening. He had dabbled in endurance sport and always had a curiosity in his personality toward the extreme….but like us all it’s not too long before you find out that 29029 isn’t an ordinary endurance challenge, its a catalyst and an invitation to step into a new version of ourselves.
