I’d like to thank Brian Bell and Woolly Mammoth Ventures.org for imparting experience and wisdom during our recent meet. Topics were wide ranging, from business, alpinism, life, and the continual pursuit of human experience. Renewed with this fresh perspective, it’s onward hashtag#EndingCyberRisk at Arctic Wolf.

This wasn’t a static meeting, as we conversed on gravel roads for 51 miles and 5K vertical. Outside is the best place to engage. Aside from, we concluded there’s no time to hang around picking berries. Berries? That’s right. Why pick berries when you can hunt the elusive woolly mammoth 🚀

Backcountry skiing isn’t just about fresh turns

—it’s about decision-making, resilience, and leadership.

I just wrapped up a week in Beaver Creek with Randy Seidl and over 20 amazing leaders from the Sales Community with a backcountry trip with Brian Bell and Woolly Mammoth Ventures.org.

Spending time in the mountains with Brian Bell was more than just an adventure; it was a masterclass in confidence and adaptability. His deep expertise in backcountry safety and terrain navigation was matched by an incredible ability to coach leadership and critical thinking in high-stakes environments.

Every challenge—whether assessing avalanche risk, choosing a line, or pushing past personal limits—became an opportunity to grow. I walked away not just a stronger skier, but a more self-assured leader, ready to tackle challenges on and off the mountain.

If you’re looking for an experience that blends outdoor adventure with personal and professional growth, I can’t recommend Brian Bell and Woolly Mammoth Ventures.org enough! 🎿

"I've had the good fortune of both working professionally under Brian's incredible leadership and spending countless days adventuring with him, including in the backcountry. Whether in office sales/management meetings, storytelling over coffee/beer, or skinning/skiing in solitude, I always leave our times together better for the experience. He's a special person and leader that gets the best out of people. If you're looking to level up in your professional life, or just surround yourself with someone that will push you to go a little further, a little faster, and a little harder in your personal pursuits, Brian is your guy.

Awesome to see you tackle this next adventure, Brian! Not just for you, but for the many people who will now have the opportunity to 'Slay the Woolly Mammoth!"

Who knew such a great adventure was only 45 minutes from where I live?
What a great morning on the Willow River with Brian Bell!
If you don't know Brian, here is a quick synopsis:

Startup Superstar ✅
F-16 Pilot ✅
C-Level Success ✅
Mountaineer ✅
Customer Focused ✅
Motivating ✅

We paddled on a fast river and had the opportunity to portage around downed trees. All the while we were offline. What a treat. Then off to lunch for some coaching.
I came away energized, full of optimism, and with wise insights that I will use to improve myself and my business.
Five stars.

Book a session. You'll thank me.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Brian, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience.  Brian is the kind of person you want to learn from.  He brings contagious energy and excitement to every interaction, and he has a unique ability to inspire people to reach their full potential.  He also carries with him a wealth of knowledge and wisdom that was earned through years of hard work and dedication.  When you have the chance to engage with someone of his caliber, it’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
