And he’s my guest in this episode of Tough Talks. And what a treat he is! Stephen and I have spent exactly zero hours of time together in the same physical space but I have studied him and followed his work for years in such a way that I feel like he’s a brother. We have also shared the same amazing coaches so we really are kindred spirits. And that made for a really “spirited” dialog on purpose, passion, commitment, mental toughness, success, meditation and jumping into freezing cold water.

Here are some of the highlights:
- Mastery doesn’t mean perfection, it means progression.
- Urgency doesn’t mean being in a hurry, it means that since life is so precious, let’s create NOW with what we have.
- Getting “soft” as a Man. - The WHY of the Aconcagua Men’s Project.
- Climbing as the metaphor for intrinsic freedom.
- The necessity of doing something completely “unreasonable.”
- “Suffering is underrated!”
- Who soaks in a goddamn ice bath for 4 minutes every morning?!
- His approach to integrating “bad news”
- The discipline of doing the thing you just don’t feel like doing.
- The Sanskrit origin of the word, “hu-man.”
- His gift to you for listening.
