Dom Francks joins Matt from a van in the Western U.S. for a virtual wine night and begins talking about the role of sports in his life growing up. He reflects on achieving excellence in golf, nearly going professional, and the lessons on peak performance he has taken from that into other areas of his life. Dom also talks about the origin of his passion for climate activism, his professional career in the climate-tech space, and his choice to pivot into becoming a wilderness guide so he could connect more deeply with nature. He shares some of his top experiences in nature, from competing in The Grand Traverse, to riding dog-sleds across the Boundary Waters, to his most epic downhill ski experience. Dom also talks about wilderness guiding in Chilean Patagonia, Alaska, and explains why the High Sierra in California is his favorite place in the world. He then talks about his experience studying with the Animus Institute and the Conscious Leadership Group, and eventually developing his own program: The VIVIFY Regenerative Leadership Program. He explains how Maverick Show listeners can participate in VIVIFY and get a special discount. And, finally, he explains “the nature pyramid” and gives tips on how busy people in urban areas can better connect with nature.
