Summary: Welcome to a special episode of TGN. It’s been far too long since we had a “chat” episode (our term for episodes that feature an interview)and Ep 85 features the incredibly talented and entirely affable Cory Richards. A professional photographer, alpinist, and adventurer, Cory has been all over the world shooting photos and telling the stories of far-flung lands. Cory is also an ambassador for Vacheron Constantin and the brand recently supported a recent expedition of Cory’s (along with his climbing partner Esteban “Topo” Mena) where they attempted to summit Everest in a truly daring fashion (and with a unique prototype VC on wrist). It’s a wide-ranging conversation about motivation, the fear of death, and the things that bring us all together. Just press play and a big thank you to Cory and Vacheron Constantin for making this interview happen! 1:00 Cory’s Instagram http://bit.ly/2JLaWyC 28:40 Esteban “Topo” Mena http://bit.ly/2JyHXxy 31:52 “No Shortcuts To The Top” by Ed Viesturs (book) https://amzn.to/2XlQQ3b 35:35 The Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time Prototype (in titanium) http://bit.ly/2XKZ98q
