A Conversation with Benjamin Alexander
Manage episode 292500955 series 2818535
Che spoke to Alpine Speed Racer Benjamin Alexander; after a successful ten-year career as an international DJ and stints in finance and tech, this Engineer followed curiosity. He is the happiest when he can feel material progress and material improvement in complex, challenging things. Now, Benjamin Alexander is training to become Jamaica's first-ever Olympic Alpine ski racer. He shares his goals and excitement on his audacious new goal and how he started speed skiing for the first time at age thirty-two. He has lived worldwide, travelled to thirty counties, and checked off much of his bucket list until he discovered skiing and a love for competition. Now he races people almost half his age who have been speed skiing 10×15 times longer than he had been. Benji has never allowed race or culture to define his goals and ambition. And indeed, age was not going to either; when the opportunity to represent Jamaica came up, he thought of his grandmother and said YES!
