Alto by Libertas is inspired by the Italian phrase "Verso l'alto", which means "to the heights", emblematic of the heroic life of Italian mountaineer and social activist Pier Giorgio Frassati. Listen to raw and authentic conversations on Faith, Culture, Fitness and Mission-Driven Entrepreneurship that will help us pursue "the heights" together!

Benoit "Ben" Chavarie is a Catholic adventurer who enjoys pushing his physical and mental limits while seeking to glorify God in all things he does as a husband, foster dad, youth minister and athlete. Ben is an endurance enthusiast, completing numerous events including a Spartan Ultra (50km, 60 obstacles) and in 2021 is currently training for the Vermont Spartan Ultra, Midstate Massive Ultra Trail 100 miler and La Ruta in Costa Rica.
