LoMa x Chris Brinlee Jr

Have you ever dreamt of leaving your desk-bound job? Do you enjoy (or wish you could try) climbing mountains? Chris Brinlee Jr has done both - amongst many other amazing things he’s experienced that most of us only dream of. On this 100% authentic, candid and unapologetic show (with occasional swear words expressed from a place of love and excitement), June & Chris talk about how they met 9 years ago in NYC, how life has unfolded for Chris after he left his advertising career in LA, and whether LoMa plays a part in his journey of his adventures. Chris’s bio: Contrast is created when light meets shadow: When the highs are Himalayan, the lows reach canyon depths. It is between these disparities where the human spirit grows. Where meaning is derived. Purpose is inspired. Where transcendence occurs. That’s life as Chiaroscuro. Chris Brinlee, Jr. [https://streaklinks.com/B87T4KCEhD6Z9H2m2QET7lKU/https%3A%2F%2Fboldly.live%2F] is living the master class.
