Manage episode 319237699 series 2809762
William Stein is the Founder and CEO of Sage Math, a former Professor at the University of Washington, a Research Mathmetician, a Vert Skateboarder for decades, the co-founder of Seattle Vert Ramp, and he’s Bella’s companion: a dog that’s a heeler with a love for outdoor travel.
In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to splitboard, backpack, and mountaineer with a dog. William shares his tips, tactics, and drive for adventuring with his dog, Bella. We talk about the relationship of Mountaineering, Mathematics, and Vert Skateboarding to our quality of life. William is nearly twice my age with a mountain more of experience. Getting to hear his perspective as a dog owner, adventurer, risk mitigator, mathematician and animal has deepened my understanding of such broad topics. William has extensive recreational skills that led to some interesting stories.
