Mountain Tactical Institute is launching a new podcast series, MTI Athlete Interviews, and we’re looking for inspiring Quiet Professionals (QPs) to share their experiences, insights, and lessons learned from years in the field.
Are you a QP passionate about your craft and willing to discuss your approach, successes, failures, tools, and experiences? Whether you’ve spent years in the mountains, on the battlefield, or in other challenging environments, we want to share your story with the broader MTI community.
Who We’re Looking For:
We’re seeking individuals with 5+ years of experience who have “tread worn off their tires” and bring valuable life experience and perspective to their field. Ideal candidates include those in middle leadership roles or higher, with a willingness to candidly discuss their journey.
