Episode 33 - True Freedom Comes with Real Risk with Erik Cooper - a podcast by Occupation Wild

Erik Cooper signed up for the 2012 Mongol Derby, considered the longest and toughest horse race in the world spanning 600 miles through Mongolia, not knowing that it would change the trajectory of his entire life! It opened his eyes to a new form of travel that was exciting, raw, and at times a little scary. Now an event director for The Adventurists and operating his own adventure company leading trips throughout Mongolia, his multi-day horse or motorcycle expeditions to see the famous Eagle Hunters or Nomadic Reindeer Herders are not for the faint of heart!

In this episode of The Occupation Wild Podcast Courtney and Nick sit down with Erik to talk about the price of true freedom, what you do when shit really hits the fan, tales from the Mongol Derby, Erik’s love for the people and culture of Mongolia and taking big risks! #lifebeyond9to5
