The Mission of 8th Summit
It is easy to lose track of what matters most in life. 8th Summit serves as a personal brand to showcase my efforts to live with more adventure, health, and contribution.
I hope my seemingly disparate explorations in catalyze curiosity and exploration for you in many domains. Ideally, my writing can be a spark for a positive shift in your life.
Why I am Building 8th Summit
My name is Mason Smith, and 8th Summit is my personal brand exploring all things health, technology, adventure, among many other topics. As an investor in technology and an endurance athlete, I have become more obsessive about tools and practices to optimize performance and well-being. As a proud American, Texan, and Dallasite, I also care deeply about being a force and a voice for positive contribution to all of my communities — family, friends, city, state, and country.
The focus areas of 8th Summit are wide-ranging. They may even seem unrelated. However, they serve as an embodiment of my vast curiosities. More importantly, they represent topics in which I believe we all should build a strong foundation.
In an indirect way, I believe the diverse subjects connect to one another.
I believe all of us have the capability, and perhaps even the responsibility, to adventure.
Literal adventure (travel, the outdoors, etc.) is meaningful, but adventuring into the unknown through mental, social, and spiritual pursuits is critical to our growth as individuals and communities. Ambitiously, 8th Summit aims to further all forms of adventure.
I m thrilled to have you along for the journey to “Climb Every Mountain.”
