Power Quotes From The Show Cold Exposure Makes You Surrender"The cold is one of the greatest surrendering tools that are out there. It will get you to surrender or you'll just stop doing it. There's no other option because if you don't surrenter, it'll ruin your immune and nervous system." - Ryan Duey
Show Your Children How to Do Hard Things"Cold plunging is one of the greatest things you can build with parents and children. A 2-year-old kid that grows up with a dad doing something very hard every single day, first thing in the morning, is eventually going to start joining him at some point. That's how you can get in front of habit stacking, where you don't have to go break the chains because it's put in from day one." - Ryan Duey
Homeostasis"The body has an innate ability to heal. It wants to be in homeostasis. That's how the universe wants to be." - Ryan Duey
