Summary
Angel Collinson is a pro free skier who comes from a family of pro skiers. She grew up at Snowbird Resort in Utah where her parents were professional ski patrollers. Even her brother John is a pro freakier. You can see them both in Teton Gravity Research films, among other places. Angel is new to sailing but recently bought a steel boat in Maine her and her boyfriend are outfitting for long-term cruising. Angel & I had a long and insightful conversation on managing fear, how backcountry skiing and offshore sailing are related, when to trust your gut instinct, mental health and lots more.

| 0:04.0 | Yeah, you and me are having a date night tonight. You're doing the podcast and I'm cooking dinner. That's like a year 35 having a kid working on your own date night, right? Yeah, there you go. But it's good. I'm going to do the podcast and drink my glass of wine and then we're going to eat dinner together. It's going to be great. |

| 0:31.5 | How does that feel? |
| 0:35.4 | Man, it feels really good, especially because I kind of missed out on the last time. |
| 0:39.5 | And I wouldn't like to be able to go and vote in person, |
| 0:42.6 | but considering the circumstances and that we're done here in Annapolis, |
| 0:45.1 | I think it was good that we got the vote in. |
| 0:47.7 | But I got a little bit nervous because I didn't get a confirmation. |
| 0:50.7 | So I checked the website today, and my vote was counted. |
| 0:54.7 | So if you're listening to this on election day and you haven't yet voted, |
| 1:12.3 | I don't care who you vote for, but go and vote. I think that's an important civic duty and especially you as a new citizen Mia. It's something that you didn't get to do until now and you realize it's a responsibility and not a privilege. Yeah, to me, it's not just a right. It's a responsibility. everyone should vote even even if you don't want, even if you don't like one, you have to just pick one of them. |
| 1:13.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:14.1 | So anyway, if you hadn't voted, go and vote. That's the last I'll say about the election, but I know I'll be glued to the TV all day tomorrow to see what happens. Well, I don't think you're going to be the only one. Yeah, exactly. On the Win is presented exclusively this season by Forbes Horton Yachts. |

| 1:35.9 | he was working for someone else. We just had lunch with him here in Annapolis last week. What do you |
| 1:40.0 | like about Forbes? What I like about Forbes. I like him because he feels like such a good friend. And I like him because he's always so mellow, but always on the move. So I feel like it's always very refreshing. It feels like he's like a little bit puff of wind that just comes in and out. And he helped us with any time when we have any questions about the boats, he can help us. And he just seemed really nice guy I just a person I just like to be around I like him because he's a sailor I mean we had lunch with him he's getting ready to take well now he's a motor boater but he's he's a boater he took his first boat down to the caribbean at tartan 34 and he's now taking his powerboat with his two kids he has like a main lobster boat down to |
| 2:18.7 | the Bahamas for the winter and I just love that he he has skin in the game he's not just a guy sitting |
| 2:23.8 | in an office trying to buy and sell boats he's actually out there doing it himself and I you know |
