The Grey NATO - 85 - A Chat With Cory Richards

Welcome to a special episode of TGN. It’s been far too long since we had a “chat” episode (our term for episodes that feature an interview)and Ep 85 features the incredibly talented and entirely affable Cory Richards. A professional photographer, alpinist, and adventurer, Cory has been all over the world shooting photos and telling the stories of far-flung lands.

Cory is also an ambassador for Vacheron Constantin and the brand recently supported a recent expedition of Cory’s (along with his climbing partner Esteban “Topo” Mena) where they attempted to summit Everest in a truly daring fashion (and with a unique prototype VC on wrist). It’s a wide-ranging conversation about motivation, the fear of death, and the things that bring us all together. Just press play and a big thank you to Cory and Vacheron Constantin for making this interview happen!
