Dr. Mike Coltrin is an inspiration in what an individual can do when hard work meets hard fun. A chemist, scientist and author by trade we talk about his hobby that led to the de facto guide he wrote for hiking the Sandia Mountains here in Albuquerque New Mexico (Links in the show notes). A trained and accomplished scientist with a doctorate in chemistry, multiple academic paper writer and patent holder. This dude is an example of what doing more and pursuing greatness means. This was a fun and interesting conversation and I hope you all enjoy it!
