S3E30: What A Life Changing Amputation Teaches You About Living Fully w/Bernt Marius Rørsatd

In a life of adventure, you’re going to have injuries. Some will be minor scrapes. Hopefully, you’ll avoid the life changing ones.

But, in doing difficult things, life changing injuries are a real possibility. How do you cope with the initial injury? How do you adapt your life on the other side? And how do you maintain your identity when you have injuries such as these?

These are all questions today’s guest, Bernt Marius Rørstad provides an illuminating answer to.

After a speedriding accident where he fell 30-40m, Bernt Marius had his right foot amputated, and has been adapting to life with a prosthetic ever since.

Despite this, he is still an adventurer and mountain sports enthusiast. He still shreds on skis, climbs mountains, and just as impressively, maintains an outlook on life that is admirable.

Today, on this episode of the Freedom Project with Bernt Marius Rørstad, we cover…

• The camaraderie of being in the mountains
• The events that led up to Bernt Marius’ crash and what he learned from it
• Finding gratitude in the things you’d rather not have
• Managing risk and danger
• Finding the opportunities within terribly difficult circumstances
• How the psychological part of challenge is always harder than the physical component & how to master that psychological challenge

And much more...
