He was 3 years from the Olympics. One skier. One collision. It all fell apart.

Justin Passuto — ex-Team Canada boardercross racer, husband to Jillian Harris, dad, founder of Scrub Captain — sits down for the most unfiltered conversation he's ever had. We go through the crash that cost him his Olympic shot, 6 concussions, meeting Jillian Harris at Rose's Pub, the 14-year wait to marry her, near-death overland trips to the Arctic Circle, and the bachelor party that changed everyone who was there.

This isn't a polished press-tour interview. This is two best friends of over a decade going where most podcasts don't.
