Adventure Athlete.

Founder of Battling Monsters.
From group homes at 12 to federal prison at 26 to wingsuit flights across 80+ countries — Jamie Leibert uses adventure to prove what's possible when you choose to fight your monsters instead of run from them.
80+ Countries.
4 Years Federal Prison.
One Clear Purpose.
Jamie Leibert, known as Captain Manicorn, is a professional adventure athlete and filmmaker whose climbs and flights span 80+ countries. He climbs into the world's most remote places and flies out by wingsuit and mini-wing. He spent about 13 years in the system, group homes through four years in federal prison, and beat a meth addiction he still manages every day. He built Just Care More to help kids, then realized he had to heal himself first. Now he leads the Battling Monsters movement, using adventure to fight for mental health. He is directing El Monstruo, an in-production Battling Monsters film. Show up. Struggle. Suck less. Repeat.
He Built It for Kids.
Then Realized He Had to Heal Himself First.
"I built Just Care More to give kids what I never had. Then I realized I was still the kid who needed it."
— Jamie Leibert
Battling Monsters
Battling Monsters is the movement Jamie built around one truth: the monsters we carry inside: addiction, trauma, prison, fear, shame. They don't disappear when you ignore them. They grow. The only way out is through. Adventure is the crucible. The mountain is the metaphor. But the work is real, and it's available to anyone willing to show up, struggle, and suck less.
