<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm just I'm envious. That's my problem.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm envious because I always and we always get into

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 3>this conversation where I love that you've been on top

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 3>of Everest. I'm obsessed with wanting to just see the

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 3>top of Everest. And then every time you come in,

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I could be like Sean, e but the

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.279
<v Speaker 3>but but you've done that, and I love that. And

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it's not just that it's all the lifestyle and everything.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I get very envious of it. But I love that

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 3>you do all the things that you do.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean it's nice not to go on in

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 5>expeditions and not having to shower for thirty forty fifty days.

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 4>I enjoy that as well.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 3>By the way, that's the one part that I could

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 3>get done. Yeah, I just figured out you gravitate towards

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 3>that part of that. That's why I mentioned it. Wait,

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 3>so wait a minute, like when you go do well,

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>no to Elliott will be stupid.

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>There's no showers up on the mountains. You're not doing

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>any of that.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, no, I I.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Kind of That's part of the expedition that I enjoy

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 5>the most. It's really simplistic, Right, you have mountains to climb,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 5>and that's the goal. You don't have to worry about

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.559
<v Speaker 5>your mortgage payments, you don't have to worry about your phone,

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 5>you don't have to worry about anything else. You just

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 5>worry about the goal at hand, whatever mountain that day

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 5>I was, you know, choosing to climb. And then on

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 5>long expeditions, you know you just everesus right in front

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 5>of you. You just sit there and every day I

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 5>would just meditate on, okay, just get to the top.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Get to the top, you know, safely and back.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 3>What's the long What is the longest expedition you've done?

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 5>The longest one I've I've done is was probably crossing

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 5>the Pall. I did it and that was forty nine

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 5>days and.

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>You went fifty days without it.

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 4>But when I was on the now Geo show, I

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 4>think I didn't. I think I did sixty nine days.

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh did you really that was the I did a

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Rod show? Right?

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 4>No, it was.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 5>It was Ultimate Survival Alaska. They took us around Alaska,

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 5>competing against each oe like I Navy seals and that's

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 5>right Native Alaskans.

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>And that was sixty nine days with happening.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and no brushing your teeth.

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 4>No, I brushed my teeth.

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh that please, money and civil I've scrubbed.

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 3>My nuts in a month, but I'm brushing my teeth.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 3>But wait, you know what, so I was reading your book.

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 3>I was reading your book. First of all, it took

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 3>me about an hour to get through the title. So

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 3>the that part was good. No, no, But did we

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 3>know this or do I just not?

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Remember?

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 3>You didn't start climbing until you were in your late twenties. Yeah, yeah,

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 3>like you didn't climb your first mount until you were

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Twenty nine? Yeah?

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that your late start, very late start.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean I I'd always wanted to climb, but then

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, there's not too many high helsitude peaks in Virginia,

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 5>so I was.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:53.920
<v Speaker 4>I was.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 5>It was kind of a goal I had set for myself.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 5>And then suddenly, you know, I had a relation, really

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 5>special relationship with my grandfather. When he passed away, he

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.359
<v Speaker 5>was kind of like, you know, you got to live

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 5>your life and do everything you've always wanted to do.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 5>And that kind of hit it home to me when

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 5>he died that you know, he's right, I got to

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 5>start doing these things. So I just said, you know

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 5>what I'm going to try to I'm going to go

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 5>climb everest and I'm going to figure out how to

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 5>do it. And I started climbing smaller peaks and I

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 5>found out that I was really good at it. I

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 5>was already teaching fitness right, so I was already in shape.

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 5>So I was working out every single day, four hours

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 5>on end, and then when I got to high altitude,

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 5>I just really found that I excelled at it and

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 5>then just kind of steamrolled from there.

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 3>So was it the is that what got you to

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Because you're right, and you do mention that that that

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 3>your grandfather had said you got to go live with life,

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 3>like go live life and the but and like you said,

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 3>you were already working out.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 1>You were a fitness guy and all that.

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, But was the thing that got you to to

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 3>being a mountaineer?

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Was it just Everest? Was that it?

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 5>No, It's just I used to read books on their

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 5>hardship and what they went through, and I I needed that.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 5>I thought I was soft, and I thought that in

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 5>order for me to go row as a as an individual,

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 5>I need to put myself through the uh strenuous, let's say,

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 5>types of activities such as mountaineering, that I would learn

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 5>more about myself. And I've always wont I always liked hiking. Again,

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't a climber, so when I started mountaineering, I

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 5>was like, Oh, I really like this and then it

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 5>just again, it just kind of steamrolled from there, and

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 5>the more I got on the mountains, the more I

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 5>just found that that's where I felt at home the most.

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 5>Because you're afraid of heights, yes, very much so.

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>But you'll sleep.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 3>You've told us stories in the past where you'll sleep

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 3>on like a cliff or like a ledge and a

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 3>sleeping bag where it's six inches and you're going you're

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:38.119
<v Speaker 3>going down.

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 5>Mostly when I'm climbing, you don't really, I don't sleep. Try,

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 5>I try more stable when I'm climbing.

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean there's a couple photos from my altitude pks

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 5>that I've done that are just like right on the edge.

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 4>I just don't look down.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 5>I just look my camera and take a picture, but

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't look at it, you know.

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>But what do you do?

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Like the one the one image that comes to mind,

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 3>not that you you've done, but like just being afraid

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 3>of heights is I feel like everybody has seen the

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.679
<v Speaker 3>picture of that ladder on Everest where you walk across

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 3>the ladder, and I mean, I have no idea what

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 3>that drop is like, Like, I don't know that I'm

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 3>afraid of heights, but I have this thing where if

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm up high on something, I want to jump off

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 3>of it. I don't know what that's called, and I

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 3>obviously never would, but I would never be able to

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 3>walk across that ladder. Like that's what's preventing me, honestly

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 3>from Everest.

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I would never be able to do. If you're afraid

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>of heights, how do you walk across that ladder?

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 5>That's a great point, I mean that's the really I

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 5>was thinking, how when I got to the first big

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 5>cravross that I was crossing.

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh my god, I look down. I

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 4>was like, how am I going to do this?

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 5>I have to do it seven eight times up and down,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 5>and I just said, hey, you know what, I've got

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 5>to go.

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 4>I've got to do it. I've got to do it.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 4>So I just didn't look down.

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 5>And you know, and I have some film and stuff

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 5>like that from some of my last films. I just

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 5>put the video camera down, but I wasn't looking I

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.720
<v Speaker 5>was just looking straight across. I never looked down because

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.359
<v Speaker 5>I thought, like, you know, I like probably like you,

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 5>I just I would freak out.

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, But you don't have to look down.

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 3>But you you know, you're on a ladder with yeah, yeah,

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 3>thousands of feet beneath you, Like you don't.

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>You can look wherever you want, you know what's there.

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 4>Be completely present. That's how you do it.

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Hey, So get me to get me to the book.

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 3>I remember hyper fitness was the was the last one.

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 3>So sweat working and you go through like all of

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 3>these these these disciplines to have in order to network,

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 3>but through different different ways of getting that done.

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Correct. Yeah. I didn't come up with the name sweat working.

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 5>I was actually reading an article a couple of years ago,

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 5>and I think it was in Men's Health about you know, oh,

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 5>this is how you work. You know you work, how

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 5>you network is you exercise together and we call it sweatwork.

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.359
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, well, I've been doing this for

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty years. So I looked it up.

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I did research, and I was like, there was not

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 5>a single book about it. So I started writing the

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 5>book about how do you go about doing that? You know,

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 5>if you're an HR executive, if you're you want to

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 5>work for you with your team, how do you how

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 5>do you go about doing every single little thing? And

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 5>that's what I started to do is just start outlining

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 5>it so anybody can implement this into their company and

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 5>also for themselves, you know, start exercising.

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Do people like from now now that the book is out,

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>do people like our companies? Because in the book you

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 3>even talk about like, hey, reach out to us. Are

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 3>companies starting to do that where it's like let's find

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 3>ways to incorporate sweat working instead of networking?

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's out there with with bigger companies, it's out there,

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 5>but I want to do it for all companies, right

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 5>as kind of a way to say, hey, this is

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 5>a normal thing that you do.

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 4>It's like everyone goes to conferences and things like that.

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 5>I've been to hundreds of those things doing speeches, and

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.239
<v Speaker 5>a lot of those times they walk around like their's zombies.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 5>They're just done with it, you know, the happy hour

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 5>and stuff. I'm trying to make it more interesting, kind

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 5>of a way to say, hey, let's do movement instead.

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, I want to implement into all companies, not

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 5>just larger companies. So that's why I give that outline

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 5>of how to do go about.

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>But what's the easy way to get started.

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 5>To get started in sweat working? Yeah, exactly, buy the book.

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 4>I tell you, I tell you, I'll tell you how

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 4>to do it. That's why I don't have to answer you.

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you the link.

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 3>No, no, But what I'm saying is I could see

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 3>somebody going like in theory, great idea, great idea.

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>In in in implementation, implementing it not so easy to do.

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's why in the book, I you know, I

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 5>literally outline it. Talk to you, Here's how do you

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 5>do when you pitch it to your bosses? Right, here's

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 5>what to say, here's the benefits of doing that, and

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 5>then from there here's your first session. Here's what I

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 5>would recommend you in, like a walking session, or you know,

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 5>if you're at a conference, maybe do a session at

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 5>a museum, but do something active. I find that connections

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.719
<v Speaker 5>are much more meaningful when you do that, not at

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 5>a at a at a happy hour where thirty or

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 5>forty minutes you've had three or four drinks and you

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 5>just you know, you forget the person and you forget

0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 5>what do you even talk about here? Is I have

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 5>found the most meaningful relationships on the mountains and in

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 5>fitness classes, right bar none. So that's what I'm trying

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 5>to do with with this with the book.

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>And then the other thing.

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 3>One of the other things you talk about the book

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 3>is that everybody needs to have a moral code. Yeah,

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 3>it has a moral code, but you should write it down.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah do you do that and stick to it? Well?

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 5>I know it by you know, my moral code is

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.959
<v Speaker 5>very deep and everything I do, so I don't need

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 5>to write it down anymore. But that's one of my things,

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 5>is I is everyone needs a moral code, and if

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 5>you don't have it, because I've asked people that, you know,

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 5>when I've done leadership classes and work with executives like,

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 5>what's your moral code? And it kind of startles them.

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 5>It's almost like, you know, the same thing as what

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 5>are your goals? You just saw personal goals for five

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 5>or ten years out. It's the same thing. They go,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 5>I never really thought about it. We'll find that moral

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 5>code and stick to it no matter what.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 3>And you say, read it every like when you first

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 3>do it, write it down and just keep updating it

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 3>and add to it and make it a living document

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.800
<v Speaker 3>and then make sure you read it and make sure

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 3>you remember it.

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>And if you have to do it every day.

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Until you like you're you and you remember it or

0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 3>add something to it, but that you know. But but

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.560
<v Speaker 3>it gets back to the same thing, like moral code,

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.319
<v Speaker 3>Like I think I'm a halfway decent person, like okay,

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 3>but I wouldn't even know what to write down.

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well see there you go. You don't know. That's

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 4>what you said.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>What are you going to do years I sit in

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>this goddamn chair.

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah I know, but you have goals. I'm sure personal goals.

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 5>You have to dig deeper than that. You know, you're

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 5>on this earth for a certain amount of time. You

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 5>stress that, you really really stress that, especially now, especially

0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you travel around the world and you see

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 5>how the world plays out within different countries, and you

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 5>really have to have this strict moral.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 4>Code and stick to it.

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.439
<v Speaker 5>Because the biggest thing that bothers me is this authenticity

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 5>I talk about in the book. I call genuineness, not authenticity,

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 5>because everyone throws that I'm so authentic or what we're

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 5>posting is so authentic. It's so much it's so much

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 5>overused that authenticity is done. So my thing is start

0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.079
<v Speaker 5>with that moral code with yourself and then stick with that.

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 3>What was the first thing you wrote down when you

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 3>when you when you were creating your own moral code,

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 3>or like you said, I know my moral code like

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.680
<v Speaker 3>if it were if it were, if it were a pyramid.

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 3>What is the big one at the base?

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 5>Resilience, perseverance, honesty, Right, my word's my word. Those are

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 5>major components to my thing. If I say I'm going

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 5>to do something, I'll do it. I don't like to quit.

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.359
<v Speaker 5>So that's a big thing that's helped me on expeditions.

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 5>If I set myself a goal, I won't stop until

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 5>it's done, no matter what. I don't you know, the

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 5>pain or the hardship that goes through it, and that

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 5>kind of drives that.

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but don't you also have to Now I'm going

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:51.599
<v Speaker 3>to talk you out of your moral code.

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>No, no, but but but also you have to be smart.

0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm assuming you have found yourself in situations on a

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 3>mountain or wherever it is, and you're like, I don't

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 3>want to quit, but I'm also gonna die if I

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 3>keep going.

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've turned around. Yeah, but still it kills you.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 5>I start, and when you start an expedition, whatever it is,

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 5>or any goal, you have to believe one hundred percent

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 5>that you will complete the goal. So every expedition I start,

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 5>every mountain, I climb for that particular day while I'm

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 5>doing first as since I think I'm going to reach

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 5>that top. But of course as you go things change,

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 5>weather changes, and then you reevaluate. Am I sticking to

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 5>my moral code if I turn around?

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Yes? Because if I don't, I'm probably going to die.

0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but if I.

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 5>Try my best, if I'm working my hardest, then outside forces,

0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 5>let's say weather, right, then I can live with that.

0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I just can't live with me quitting, quitting or going average.

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to.

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Life is too important. Never be average. Never be average.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm always trying to learn to be a better person

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 5>every single day.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 3>And the other thing like you talk about like you

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 3>only like life is you only have one life and

0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 3>that's it. And you do talk about the the the

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 3>how you use time right and like no, because we

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 3>have that conversation all the time. Is like it's time's

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 3>all the same. It's just how do you manage it?

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 3>But you almost go like a step further than that

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 3>of everybody makes an excuse, but you find you make time.

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Correct, I've many many people. I just don't have the time.

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.199
<v Speaker 5>So I'm okay, let's allocate that time. How do you

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 5>many hours in the day?

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay? What means that? You know?

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 5>What means something to you? Okay, so you just you

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 5>have to allocate it.

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 5>That's why with sweatwork, and I'm trying to like, well,

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 5>if we get companies forces the wellness on you, forces

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.560
<v Speaker 5>the movement, then you will see the benefits of it,

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.400
<v Speaker 5>and then from there you can take it on and

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 5>have it involve evolve in your own life and improve

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 5>your own life. But it's this that initial part of

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 5>getting you to exercise, getting you to move, to see

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 5>those benefits of it, but you've got to have back

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 5>to the time. You've got to have You've got to

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 5>find the time because everyone has the same twenty four hours, right,

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.439
<v Speaker 5>And I've never said I've never heard somebody say, you know,

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 5>I've got it's.

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 4>Got too much time every single day.

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 5>I've never heard that, So it's like, yes, I know,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 5>I know the fact, but find the time whatever it is.

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you ever have a day though, where you just

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.480
<v Speaker 3>lay on the couch and eat Chinese food?

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:13.719
<v Speaker 5>I have a day is where I relax, but I

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.079
<v Speaker 5>don't sit on the I mean yeah, I mean I can.

0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't take a day off from exercising. No, never, never.

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 5>If I can, if I can do it, if I'm traveling,

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.680
<v Speaker 5>then yeah, but I'll still walk that night, or I'll

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 5>walk an hour.

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>You walk after every after every meal? I do part walk?

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 3>No, but you yeah, no, but you say that like

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 3>after every meal you walk?

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean if you if you live in my town,

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 5>you'll see me walking every day.

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 4>So that's me.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure people will make fun of it because it's

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 5>like this guy's out there no matter what.

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but I love it.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 5>It makes you feel good, makes you know, helps with digestion,

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 5>sets the tongue.

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Will you explain something in the book which I thought

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 3>was really good, rich cars.

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Will you explain that, Yeah, it's just having Uh, it's

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 5>it's it's a kind of a way to look if

0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 5>you don't have that moral code, to use rich cars

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 5>as a component of that.

0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 4>So go through those things.

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 5>It's just a way to remember it, you know, and uh,

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 5>and then try to implement those things into your life. Again,

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 5>if you don't have the moral code, I give you

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 5>a guidance for you to find that moral code, whatever

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 5>that is.

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 3>The then a couple of other things that I learned

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 3>in the By the way, I'm just dunkin Donuts.

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Just got here. Do you want a donut?

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm okay.

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 5>When's the last time you had a donut?

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 4>That's a good question.

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Thirty thirty thirty years donut in thirty years.

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Thirty years now. I don't eat desserts usually, yeah, and I.

<v Speaker 5>the rest of the night.

<v Speaker 5>it's it's it is bottomless. Oh yeah, so good.

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.320

<v Speaker 3>been a week since I had had pizza.

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:39.479
<v Speaker 4>Para Jones and you're twitching. You knew something was wrong. Pizza.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 1>That's part of my moral code. Yeah, I happy to

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>write it.

0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 4>Write it down, Write that down.

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Now that's your pyramid. Empathy. Oh that's the base. Yeah.

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.679
<v Speaker 3>On top of that is like empathy and try not

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 3>to lie that much, that much.

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>But now, you weren't always like that. You weren't always

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 1>like that, No.

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 5>No, you know, you know, being the gen X generation,

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.919
<v Speaker 5>I think I was always searching growing up, searching for

0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 5>something what I didn't know, but always, you know.

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 3>There was you tell a story in the book, Well, actually,

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 3>you know what. Before we get to that, there's a

0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 3>couple of things that came out of the book about

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 3>you personally that I didn't know you're shy.

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, really shy.

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 5>If I get in front of if i'm it's like

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 5>a presentation in front of people, I can be myself.

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 4>But normally, yeah, I'm not.

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm not really open with people about, you know, things,

0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:38.239
<v Speaker 5>because I don't think they understand. If I tell them

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 5>a story about again going to conference, right something happy

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 5>are about, you know, an expedition, They're like, oh, that

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 5>sounds interesting, you know, they just have no clue of

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 5>what what it's like. So I don't bother even talking

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 5>about it. So I kind of kind of laid back

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 5>and don't even talk about it all or anything.

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.280
<v Speaker 3>No, but I'm like, and I get from from your side, like, listen,

0:18:58.640 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what it would be like to be

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 3>on an expedition, but it doesn't mean it's not fascinating.

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.439
<v Speaker 3>I would love to hear about it, So it doesn't

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 3>mean that it's not fascinating to know.

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 5>I know you you like it, so I can I

0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 5>can feel that. But when I go to a conference

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 5>and there's some guy going, oh, really, you time to

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 5>first ascent?

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:17.159
<v Speaker 4>What's that?

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 5>As soon as I say I'm like, okay, you know

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 5>they and it's fine. I'm not asking him to know it,

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 5>but I'm thinking, like, okay, this is gonna be you

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 5>know, although it sounds exciting, sounds dangerous, you know, right, why

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:28.159
<v Speaker 5>do you do it?

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 4>That kind of stuff?

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 3>But when you talk about that, you say that not

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 3>only are you shy, but you're also hesitant to make

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 3>new friends.

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:38.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. I Trust is a big

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 4>thing with me.

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 5>It's part of my moral code, and I don't just

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 5>for I think part of part of my job.

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't trust a lot of people.

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 5>I've just been disappointed so many times with their word right, yeah,

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.040
<v Speaker 5>we're gonna do this or we're gonna do that, and

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 5>then they don't follow through.

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Get very disappointed.

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.440
<v Speaker 5>So a lack of trust I much rather have someone

0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.240
<v Speaker 5>doesn't want to do it, to say hey, I don't

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.199
<v Speaker 5>I'm not gonna to do this, right, I'm not going

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 5>to do that. I can take that, But there's ghosting

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 5>stuff and all that kind of I just eats me

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:07.719
<v Speaker 5>up inside.

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 4>So I just don't trust people.

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Because I wondered if it was, like when I first

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:18.600
<v Speaker 3>read that is, whether it was because of who you are,

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 3>where you don't. You don't the trusting I get because

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 3>to trust somebody literally is to put your life in

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 3>their hands. The the like, if Diane does something, is

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 3>it gonna piss me off? Can we get in trouble

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:33.959
<v Speaker 3>with the FCC? Yeah, we can do all of that,

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not going to fall to my death. Like

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 3>when you try whatever your Diane is, you could die.

0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:44.159
<v Speaker 5>Yep, No, you're exactly right. That's why I do stuff

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 5>sol Yeah, you know it. I mean, that's it was.

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 5>I was thinking, well, if I'm roped to somebody, I

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.160
<v Speaker 5>got to put my trust in their hands, so if

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 5>they fall off or they slip, then I can go

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 5>down with them if I don't blame them. So I'm thinking, oh,

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:58.360
<v Speaker 5>forget it. I'd rather just do it myself. So if

0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 5>I have no regrets, if I go in here, if

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 5>I die, it's my own fault. But yeah, you hit

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 5>it right in the nail right now.

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Do you also feel that going the other way is

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.840
<v Speaker 3>somebody's putting that much trust in you and you don't

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 3>want that burden.

0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 5>No, if I'm guiding somebody, I've guided people on some

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 5>high outside. I enjoy that because it's I'm seeing them

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.920
<v Speaker 5>reach their goals and seeing them do things that they've

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 5>never done before. I get more excitement about that.

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Of watching them them.

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I love that because they just think I didn't

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.439
<v Speaker 5>think I could do it and they're and they're doing it.

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 5>That really excites me because then they're they realize what

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.120
<v Speaker 5>they're capable of doing in life, and this is hopefully

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.399
<v Speaker 5>just to start for them. And climbing a mountain or

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 5>climbing a high peak is a good way to start

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:41.920
<v Speaker 5>that of what you're capable of doing.

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 3>So does it bother you that every time I talk

0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 3>to I tell you we're going to go climb together.

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 5>And I know that's a good segment, right in that segment,

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 5>because yes, exactly right, we need to get you on

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 5>a peak. And I talked to tell her about that

0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 5>or el I was like, we got to talk about,

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, doing the shaft but Manchaster or something like that.

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:03.479
<v Speaker 1>The where is that?

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 5>That's in California. It's a volcano. It's about of fourteen thousand,

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:10.800
<v Speaker 5>but it has snow, has make a good terrain where

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.960
<v Speaker 5>you can put on crampons, so you can learn a

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 5>lot about mountaineering. But it's not to me too dangerous,

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 5>even though to you I didn't send the link. Someone

0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 5>did die on there September September, some tech bro died, so,

0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 5>which is very unfortunate.

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Right, But the no, no, But but if I told you,

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I would love to do it.

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I really would. I just don't.

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 5>I know perfect I don't have the time. Yes, it's

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 5>not on my moral code list. You've got to get

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 5>you on a peak.

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:47.239
<v Speaker 1>You know. I've been working on this for what I

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>think fourteen years. Fourteen years, yes, and it's gonna happen.

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Getting me there.

0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 3>We're getting there, chipping away now, chipping away. Here's the

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 3>other thing that I want to bring up, and don't

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 3>beat don't be mad at me.

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's in the book. You can't be mad at me.

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.840
<v Speaker 3>You talk about a real dark part of your life

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 3>which I don't think you'd ever shared with us. About

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 3>a long four years you were going through a nasty

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 3>separation and a nasty divorce. Yeah, you felt like you

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 3>would you had failed, and you took a job at

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 3>a wellness resort in China, in China, and how did

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.159
<v Speaker 3>you how did you end up going to China?

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.159
<v Speaker 5>They contacted me. They had a wellness director that I

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 5>had quit. I should have contacted him first. He was

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 5>based in Hong Kong and they asked me if I

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 5>wanted to think about doing the position. And at that

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 5>time I was were going through a tough time with

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 5>my my ex.

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.360
<v Speaker 4>Wife, and I just kind of said, oh, this could

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:42.680
<v Speaker 4>be great.

0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 5>You know, while this director, I could teach people about

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 5>fitness because they would look at they would look a

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.720
<v Speaker 5>dumbbells and be like, oh, you know, like they didn't

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 5>know what it was, and a bosue ball they would

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 5>be like, oh, foreign to me. So I took the

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 5>job and then went over to it's called Mission Hills

0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Resort and just outside Hong Kong about hour and a

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 5>half and stayed there for about a year. And uh,

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.439
<v Speaker 5>it was so painful, you know, because I left my

0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 5>son and I kind of just got Instead of facing it,

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.440
<v Speaker 5>I just wanted to separate myself from it and thought

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.840
<v Speaker 5>that would help, but it only made it worse, made

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:13.560
<v Speaker 5>it real bad.

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>You talk about and I can't even imagine this.

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 3>You talk about you had there was some coworker there

0:24:20.160 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 3>that that that you were friendly with, and you guys

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:24.920
<v Speaker 3>would just sit there and just get hammered every.

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 4>Night, every night every but you get drunk every night

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 4>every night.

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:30.920
<v Speaker 5>We couldn't wait, and and we knew it was bad,

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 5>but we were just it was just it was killing me.

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 4>But it was like my only solace was that, you know.

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:39.400
<v Speaker 5>And then next day I'd wake up, I'd work out

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:41.959
<v Speaker 5>still for a couple hours, I would train people, and

0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 5>that night I was just like, oh my god, and

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 5>I was like, you know, if I keep doing this,

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna die.

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 4>And you knew it.

0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>It was even imagine you yeah drinking.

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I mean it was. It was real bad,

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 5>real bad. There's nothing there's nothing worse feeling. I'm sure

0:24:57.840 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 5>people out there know he's waking up and not can't

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:03.960
<v Speaker 5>caring about the day, you know, not caring if you

0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 5>get out of bed.

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Or not caring if you wake you know what happens

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 4>to you. It was worse. I just didn't care.

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 5>And then I kind of again, as always, I kind

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 5>of gravitate towards my son, thinking like this is I'm

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:16.440
<v Speaker 5>not being a father, I'm just being a right. I'm

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 5>just disappointing him and I'm disappointing myself. I need to

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 5>get back there. I need to be the father I

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 5>know I need to be for him. And then I

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 5>got injured in China on riting on these they have

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 5>these steep stairs and they're really I guess because I

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:33.280
<v Speaker 5>guess they have a little more little feet or something.

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't know, the real skinny stares. And I tripped

0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:38.439
<v Speaker 5>and hit my head and had to go to the

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.360
<v Speaker 5>hospital and got stitches, and then I got I came

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:44.560
<v Speaker 5>back and then a month later I just said I'm done.

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm done.

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 5>And my boss I was working with this she was God,

0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:50.879
<v Speaker 5>she was vindictive and oh my gosh.

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:53.159
<v Speaker 1>What not to was horribly toped.

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 5>Oh my gosh, I've never seen someone that toxic in

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:00.040
<v Speaker 5>my life. But uh yeah, it was awful. And that

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 5>was one of the reasons why, because she just didn't care,

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 5>and she would she'd tells stories about people. I mean,

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 5>it's like this petty stuff. I'm like, what am I

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 5>doing here?

0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I love gossip.

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 5>So I was like, I got to get back, you know,

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 5>I got to get back to myself. So luckily enough

0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 5>I got out of there and and time, because if

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 5>I stayed there for another year, I probably wouldn't have

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:21.160
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't have come out of it.

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 1>No, and you would have been drinking the whole Oh.

0:26:23.240 --> 0:26:25.640
<v Speaker 4>My god, Yeah, yeah, it was, it was. It was bad.

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Also, you talk about how so then then fast forward

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:31.640
<v Speaker 3>a little bit, you talk about how you get into

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 3>hiking and and and obviously still you're working out. You

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:39.880
<v Speaker 3>are you, You are a good person. Fitness is important.

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Being a good person is important. But then you start

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:48.199
<v Speaker 3>talking about climbing and starting to to climb mountains, and

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 3>you talk about how that's where you feel such peace

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.440
<v Speaker 3>and such comfort, and you start talking about just being

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 3>there on the silence of the mountains when you're and

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 3>like you may you do a lot of whether it's

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.080
<v Speaker 3>solo climbs or first ascent climes where you're you're climate

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 3>peaks and mountains that nobody's ever been on before, or

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 3>you'll just do it by yourself and you're up there

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.360
<v Speaker 3>and I don't know how long that takes. Is it

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:14.640
<v Speaker 3>like when you lay down at night, or if it's

0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 3>at night, like if you get up early and it's

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:18.360
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the night, if you will and you're

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 3>going to push yourself to summit, is it just dead silent?

0:27:22.640 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Well?

0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the weather, your wind, Yeah, if there's no wind,

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:27.919
<v Speaker 5>Oh my gosh, it's that's why I love nature. You know,

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 5>it's just because it doesn't judge, does you. Everyone in

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 5>society judges you everyone everyone you meet. As soon as

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 5>you meet somebody new, they judge you on who you are,

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 5>possibly how you look and all that tough your appearance.

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.719
<v Speaker 5>But when you're in the mountains, it's just nature and

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 5>it's just there. And I love that because it doesn't

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 5>judge you and you can just take it all in.

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 5>It's for what it is, and it's it's and it's beautiful.

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It's well, beautiful was the word I was going to use.

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:56.160
<v Speaker 3>When you're up there, like we're well, I mean, you're

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 3>a warranton, but like I'm a total city kid. So

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.640
<v Speaker 3>like stars, you don't see a lot of.

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>When you're on a mountain. Is it Is it crazy?

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:06.879
<v Speaker 4>It's crazy.

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.160
<v Speaker 5>When I was in my last expedition in Argentina, i'd

0:28:10.160 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 5>go out there at night. It was freezing, but I'd

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:13.200
<v Speaker 5>still I'd wrap myself up and go out there and

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 5>just stare at the stars. It was like they're they're right,

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:18.120
<v Speaker 5>You're right on you, They're right on you. I remember

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 5>when I climbed my eight thousand meter peaks, and stuff

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 5>like that. It feels like you can go out there

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 5>and touch it. It's so bright. I still every night

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 5>when I walk, I walk, I look at the stars.

0:28:28.880 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 5>I was looking at them last night. I'll send pictures

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:32.479
<v Speaker 5>to like my mother and stuff like that, like here,

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 5>look at the stars. Look at these satellites go across.

0:28:36.640 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 5>It's oh, it's incredible. I never it never gets old

0:28:39.360 --> 0:28:39.480
<v Speaker 5>to me.

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 4>Never love it.

0:28:41.200 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>What was the first mountain you climb?

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 5>First mountain? I climbed uh with Shasta. I climbed it

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 5>with my cousin, right, And that's the one we're gonna do.

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:52.640
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, yeah, we.

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 5>Did it without that's a really good story. We did

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 5>it without crampons, and we didn't know the route went up.

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 5>We went up the side of the face and we

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:03.480
<v Speaker 5>I had one ice axe. We had trekking poles that

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 5>we narrowed down and we're just like climbing up there

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 5>and we had no clue what we're doing. As we're

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 5>coming down, people were like, did you see those idiots

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 5>that were on the mountain And we're like, hey, they're

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 5>talking about us.

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 4>We need to reach the summit.

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:19.320
<v Speaker 5>And we camped out at you know, at twelve thousand

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 5>feet and we're freezing, we're hypoxic, you know, headaches and

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 5>stuff like that.

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>But dude, you think I'm climbing there? We'll do it.

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:28.440
<v Speaker 4>The I didn't know what I was doing.

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 5>I was just like, oh, yeah, well, I climbed from

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 5>the bottom to the summit in like, you know, ten

0:29:34.200 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 5>hours that whole day we you know, I didn't know

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 5>if you're not supposed to do that.

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 4>I was just kind of figuring it out.

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 1>How long would it take me? How long we do it?

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 4>We do it day and a half and a half.

0:29:44.160 --> 0:29:47.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we'll start and then we'll camp at I think

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 5>it's called camp helling at ten thousand feet.

0:29:49.560 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 4>Stay the night there, make sure you're feeling good next I.

0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Don't want to be hypoxy.

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 4>No, you want to be hypoxic.

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 5>We'll go up to summit, come back down, come back

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 5>to camp, and then if you feel good, we'll walk

0:29:58.920 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 5>back down or spend a.

0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 4>Night extra day.

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I probably won't feel good.

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Maybe No, No, I I had the plan. I have

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 4>the plan.

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Good because he doesn't. Well, I know that. Hey.

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 3>You know like sometimes like outside of hotels or like restaurants,

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 3>they have like that little stand where you like put

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 3>cigarette butts.

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Into Do they have those on the mountain like on

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the way up? I don't.

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to mess with nature, but I am

0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:26.560

<v Speaker 1>I'm she should she sha pangmagma?

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:53.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when did you climb that two thousand and.

0:30:53.240 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>One fourteenth highest mountain in the world?

0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 4>Yep?

0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Is that the only time you wrote a note where

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 3>you felt like you were gonna die? Yeah?

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 4>That was a tough expedition.

0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:09.479
<v Speaker 5>I was with another climber guy named Dan missouris one

0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.960
<v Speaker 5>of the best American climbers we have, and uh, it

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 5>just hitting me on the mountain. We didn't see anybody

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:18.440
<v Speaker 5>for like three days and we were climbing up towards

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 5>the summer. It was about two forty five and that's

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 5>like usually they turnaround time, so it was really windy.

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 5>I was looking at him and we're just like, you know,

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 5>He's like, is it worth it?

0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 4>And I go, it's worth it. And then we didn't

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 4>talk for the next six hours and we just climbed.

0:31:30.680 --> 0:31:32.520
<v Speaker 5>We got up there about eight thirty nine o'clock at night,

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 5>and by that time we were already our lungs were

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:39.120
<v Speaker 5>fun out with food because every time we'd breathe the

0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 5>goo google it would gurgle, so we knew we were dying.

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 5>So we got up there, took some photos and then uh.

0:31:46.600 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 5>And then in the snowstorm, got back down to high

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:51.160
<v Speaker 5>Camp and we should have gone kept going down, but

0:31:51.200 --> 0:31:54.760
<v Speaker 5>we were so tired, so we got water and hydrated

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:56.480
<v Speaker 5>and then we're lucky enough to get back down the

0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:58.080
<v Speaker 5>next day. But that's when I started to get my

0:31:58.120 --> 0:32:00.720
<v Speaker 5>black fingers. Was that expedition. And I came back down

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 5>my finger my tops of my fingers were all black, right,

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:04.080
<v Speaker 5>and frostbite.

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:06.800
<v Speaker 1>But in the in the book, you talk about like

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you wrote out your final words.

0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I always do that before you know, so I

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 4>was writing.

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 3>You.

0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:16.600
<v Speaker 5>So when I go to Shasta, I have to write

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:19.480
<v Speaker 5>my final words. No, no, no, I did that on

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 5>Shishi and Pangmatic. I always keep journals and stuff like that.

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:24.720
<v Speaker 5>So this was my first eight thousand meter peak, so

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know what to expect. There are not a

0:32:27.520 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 5>lot of people on the mountain. Uh So, again it

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 5>was still that lack of confidence of like, can I

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 5>do this? Can I do this without something intery auction?

0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:36.440
<v Speaker 5>And can I get to the top. I'm climbing with

0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:38.240
<v Speaker 5>a great climber who's been on K two and so

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:40.880
<v Speaker 5>so I wrote out, you know, if I don't come back,

0:32:41.120 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 5>they at least find that, and you know, give that

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:48.680
<v Speaker 5>to my uh No, I wasn't. I wasn't engaged yet,

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 5>but yeah, to give that to my family and things

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 5>like that. So I wrote it all out.

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:54.360
<v Speaker 3>When you when you say you were with this guy

0:32:54.400 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 3>and you didn't see anybody else on the mountain, no,

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:57.760
<v Speaker 3>and you just kind of looked at each other, and

0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 3>then for the next six hours you didn't speak speak.

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Are you like when you when you do an expedition? Obviously,

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 3>if you're by yourself, you're not talking.

0:33:05.120 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

0:33:05.800 --> 0:33:08.800
<v Speaker 3>But if you're with another climber or a couple of people,

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:10.719
<v Speaker 3>do you prefer it being quiet?

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 5>I mean at that altitude, it's so tough just to

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 5>take a step, so you don't want to waste time

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:17.560
<v Speaker 5>hate you know what?

0:33:17.840 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 4>You know what not fourteen thousand.

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 1>You'll be fine, but I'm worried about you because I

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>won't shut up.

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 4>No, that's fine.

0:33:24.880 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 5>Oh okay, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, No, I'm

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.840
<v Speaker 5>sure you have some good stories, so I'll be listening

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 5>to that.

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:31.280
<v Speaker 4>That's fine.

0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>No. Yeah, he died talking.

0:33:32.800 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he guys talking.

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>He died from getting pushed.

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:40.640
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Is there is there a And I know I don't

0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 3>want to get too far away from like because that

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 3>the book isn't your memoir.

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 1>The book is all about you, but that's coming.

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.800
<v Speaker 5>I've been working on that for ten years and that book,

0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 5>when it comes out, is going to be all the

0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 5>stories of all my expeditions, me growing up, living in

0:33:57.640 --> 0:34:01.520
<v Speaker 5>Northern Virginia with my friends and stuff like that. How

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 5>we base life, how we looked at life, and then

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 5>from thereative kind of evolves.

0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Because the book, the book at its court, but the

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:10.799
<v Speaker 3>stories that get interwoven through everything really are very fascinating.

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 3>But like you do talk about the like, if you

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:15.880
<v Speaker 3>get back to the essence of the book, it is

0:34:16.560 --> 0:34:20.560
<v Speaker 3>preparing your body, preparing your head, preparing your heart, if

0:34:20.600 --> 0:34:23.240
<v Speaker 3>you will, all of the not from a health standpoint,

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 3>but from just the kind of person you are. That

0:34:25.840 --> 0:34:28.720
<v Speaker 3>whether it's mountaineering or whatever it is, is preparing yourself

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:32.239
<v Speaker 3>to be able to do all of those things as

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 3>a healthy, good human being.

0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 5>One hundred percent right there. You just said it all.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.840
<v Speaker 5>It's perfect exactly. That's why I wrote the book was

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:41.439
<v Speaker 5>for that reason.

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:42.520
<v Speaker 4>You know the stories.

0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 5>I put in there, a little bit of stories because

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:46.359
<v Speaker 5>I know everyone likes to hear the stories and things

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:47.800
<v Speaker 5>like that, but the main part was to do that,

0:34:47.920 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 5>so it's always for them. How do you better yourself,

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 5>become a better person, reach for those goals you've set

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 5>for yourself? How do you go about doing that through movement?

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 5>Through connection? I mean definitely we've lost connection of course

0:34:59.040 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 5>in society today. I was getting that connection back with

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.880
<v Speaker 5>other people and then and the movement in that process

0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:05.840
<v Speaker 5>and how that can help you.

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 3>And like there's even a part in there where you

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:09.880
<v Speaker 3>talk about like you're at a conference and you're speaking,

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:12.680
<v Speaker 3>or you've been asked to go to like lunches and stuff,

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:15.960
<v Speaker 3>but not by name, but Leonsis gets a mention in there. Yeah.

0:35:16.040 --> 0:35:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when I came back from from Everest.

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:35:19.000 --> 0:35:22.719
<v Speaker 4>I was invited to Tyson's Corner and a bunch of

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.480
<v Speaker 4>high tech guy. I didn't know who they were. I

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 4>was just meeting.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.560
<v Speaker 5>I was with somebody and we had a nice lunch

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 5>and stuff like that. But then I started to figure out, oh,

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 5>this is how it rolls. Let me look at your

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 5>faint on that.

0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:38.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was. It was eye opening. Is a learning experience.

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember. I don't remember that.

0:35:41.719 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me do this.

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Give me a quick break. I haven't even gotten to

0:35:45.360 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 3>the documentary yet, but let me do this. Give me

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 3>a quick break. It's Elliott the Morning, more of a

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:49.840

<v Speaker 1>Next Elliott in the Morning. Everybody, Sean Birch is with us.

0:36:12.920 --> 0:36:17.280
<v Speaker 3>The people the Kings of the fort ROUTI yeah, route

0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 3>route all right, yeah, because I want to make sure

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 3>I get that right.

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 1>The it is a nomadic tribe. It's one hundred and

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty five people. Yep. Where did you first encounter them?

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Actually through a contact in Nepal.

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:34.200
<v Speaker 6>He told me, you know, we were working together on

0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:37.600
<v Speaker 6>the Icefall Doctors of Everest, and then he said, hey,

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 6>there's a group of people that they only talk with me,

0:36:40.880 --> 0:36:43.799
<v Speaker 6>and they move every two months unless someone dies, they'll

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 6>move the next day and they'll call me. Whenever they're

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 6>in a specific area, they'll find it, go to town,

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:53.359
<v Speaker 6>find a phone call, just to stay in touch. He's

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 6>he had been in touch with him for like fifteen

0:36:55.080 --> 0:36:56.880
<v Speaker 6>years and said, hey, I think there might be something here.

0:36:56.960 --> 0:36:58.600
<v Speaker 6>So I started to investigate and said, hey, you know

0:36:58.719 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 6>this is great.

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:00.160
<v Speaker 1>This Uh.

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:02.560
<v Speaker 5>They don't have any oral history, they don't have any

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 5>written text about their life. They don't take photographs. So

0:37:06.960 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 5>I knew the fact that they're depleting and they're going

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:13.240
<v Speaker 5>to be extinct. That's even more so after I filmed,

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:15.200
<v Speaker 5>so I was like, I want to do an oral

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.719
<v Speaker 5>history of the route before they disappear. So I went

0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:20.359
<v Speaker 5>out there and spent a couple of days with them

0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 5>in the field.

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 3>The and they're not a just so we're real clear.

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 3>It's not an uncontacted tribe of people. But they are

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:32.320
<v Speaker 3>very and like you said, like they'll go to market

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:34.719
<v Speaker 3>to sell things and to get things, and I understand that,

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 3>but they're not they're not a social group.

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 5>No, they like to stick to themselves. I wouldn't even

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 5>been allowed in there if it wasn't for Hari, you know.

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 5>That's why I kind of dedicate the film to him,

0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:47.600
<v Speaker 5>because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have even

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.000
<v Speaker 5>been there in the first place. So they had to

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:52.799
<v Speaker 5>kind of warm up to me, which took a while.

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:57.440
<v Speaker 5>You know, things like the drone that helped. That's when

0:37:57.480 --> 0:38:01.479
<v Speaker 5>they're like, oh, this guy is interesting. I too, because

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 5>there's no electronics.

0:38:02.600 --> 0:38:07.800
<v Speaker 3>There's no like, nobody's got a phone, nobody's got an iPad, like,

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.880
<v Speaker 3>nobody's like there's I don't want to say they have

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:13.680
<v Speaker 3>nothing because they are so happy, like they are very

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:16.879
<v Speaker 3>very happy people. But the two things when you bring

0:38:16.960 --> 0:38:19.919
<v Speaker 3>that drone out and they're looking at it, they're looking at.

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:22.320
<v Speaker 1>It like, dude, what are you doing?

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:24.360
<v Speaker 5>The first time they've ever seen something like that, So

0:38:24.440 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 5>they're all like, oh my god, that's amazing.

0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 3>But also there's some scenes where they're walking by like

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 3>they're they're they're moving. They're a nomadic tron and they're

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:37.240
<v Speaker 3>moving and you could tell they walk by the camera

0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:39.080
<v Speaker 3>because you get one of these.

0:38:41.000 --> 0:38:43.960
<v Speaker 5>They're checking it out. Yeah for sure, Yeah, for sure.

0:38:44.000 --> 0:38:46.319
<v Speaker 5>They like to see themselves, you know, after your videotape them,

0:38:46.320 --> 0:38:47.840
<v Speaker 5>they like to see you would show back kind of

0:38:48.080 --> 0:38:50.120
<v Speaker 5>like some of them, most of the kids. The kids

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:53.239
<v Speaker 5>like to look at themselves. So that was cool, and

0:38:53.280 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 5>they're grown ups kind of kept it themselves.

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 4>They really you know, and you you you.

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.440
<v Speaker 3>You talk about how, like you just said, you wanted

0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 3>to do like a history of them before they go extinct,

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:08.200
<v Speaker 3>and you talk about how their society is disappearing, but

0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 3>also their ideals are disappearing.

0:39:11.080 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 1>So I think like the society part, I think I get.

0:39:14.320 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 1>What about the ideals part.

0:39:16.080 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Though, Well, it's just because of so many outside forces

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:22.480
<v Speaker 5>now are coming in. Since I've filmed, they actually have

0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 5>like a government official that stays with them from what

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 5>I've read all the time, and so they have all

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.439
<v Speaker 5>these outside forces, so they can't really live the life

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 5>I think they really want to live, and they're seeing

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:36.719
<v Speaker 5>it disappear unfortunately for them. And then a couple of

0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:40.000
<v Speaker 5>the the younger ones have been kind of whisked away

0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:44.399
<v Speaker 5>by townies and things like that. So it hasn't gone

0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:47.120
<v Speaker 5>really well from them, especially since even since I filmed.

0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:50.239
<v Speaker 5>That's why I'm really glad I filmed. It's only gotten worse.

0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:52.799
<v Speaker 5>And I think they again, they said within ten years

0:39:52.840 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 5>they think they'll be extinct or at least separated completely.

0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:57.920
<v Speaker 3>So that band of one hundred and twenty five, if

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 3>you will, yeah, they won't. They won't exist as a

0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:02.400
<v Speaker 3>band of one hundred and twenty five.

0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:03.040
<v Speaker 4>That's what they say.

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 5>I mean, who knows, but yeah, I mean it's it's

0:40:05.800 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 5>rapidly deterior and I think just because again there's so

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:13.239
<v Speaker 5>much outside people coming in now all the time. They

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:16.160
<v Speaker 5>can't really live their life the way they feel they

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 5>want to live it. But they're trying to, you know,

0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:20.120
<v Speaker 5>they're still trying to keep They've done it for centuries.

0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:23.440
<v Speaker 3>So like with with outside people coming in, is it

0:40:23.560 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 3>too hard to resist when they see what I don't

0:40:27.239 --> 0:40:29.320
<v Speaker 3>I even want to say what modern things look like,

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:32.920
<v Speaker 3>but just the toys or you know what I don't.

0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to call it. Where they go.

0:40:35.000 --> 0:40:38.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe better isn't the right word, because they're they're happy people.

0:40:39.360 --> 0:40:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but is it just you at some point you

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 1>just can't resist it.

0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:44.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, I when I was an I member,

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.480
<v Speaker 5>I was in town before I was waiting for the

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:51.239
<v Speaker 5>to to walk out, and uh, the couple of kids

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:53.520
<v Speaker 5>came into town and they trying to get me to

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 5>buy them cokes and stuff like that, and I think,

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:58.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, just again the outside things are like okay,

0:40:58.880 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 5>or crackers or.

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:01.319
<v Speaker 4>Something like that. They're not used to having that right.

0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:03.839
<v Speaker 4>They're used to having their with their you know, they

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:06.320
<v Speaker 4>eat monkey. They didn't get into that. I couldn't.

0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:07.800
<v Speaker 5>I was trying to get him to talk about that

0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 5>they hunt monkey through nets like monkey nets, but they

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:12.680
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't let me. I wanted to go on a hunt

0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:14.520
<v Speaker 5>with them, but they was like absolutely not, you're not

0:41:14.600 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 5>going to do this.

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 4>But I was able to.

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 1>They think people wouldn't be able to.

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, maybe they look down upon them because you're not

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 5>supposed to do that with a monkey. But yeah, they're

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:25.960
<v Speaker 5>like they're the only ones that usually they eat monkey.

0:41:26.000 --> 0:41:27.359
<v Speaker 5>That's their meat, their may meat.

0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So there's there's a there's a one scene in the

0:41:30.680 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 1>in the documentary.

0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:32.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean you've seen a couple of times but the

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:36.520
<v Speaker 3>one one that really sticks out where people from the

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 3>family have gone out to I'm assuming to go get

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:41.760
<v Speaker 3>food and maybe I'm wrong, but they come.

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Back with like a stack of it's well water, Oh

0:41:45.640 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 1>it's water. Oh okay, I gotcha, but like a huge stack.

0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what you call those things, but there's.

0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Like a huge stack of like buckets on top of buckets,

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:55.000
<v Speaker 3>on top of buckets on their head.

0:41:55.600 --> 0:41:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I assumed it was some kind of food. But yeah,

0:41:57.880 --> 0:41:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean it would make sense that it's water.

0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:03.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's the women go out and get fresh water,

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:05.359
<v Speaker 5>which was They had to walk a long way when

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 5>I was when I was with them because it was

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:08.960
<v Speaker 5>way way far away where there's clean water. So they

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 5>bring a ton of them and then they carry them

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:12.200
<v Speaker 5>on top of their heads. They just stack them up

0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:14.240
<v Speaker 5>as you saw and seeing the film.

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:17.879
<v Speaker 1>And what is the like you said, they move every

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:19.800
<v Speaker 1>two and a half months or sooner.

0:42:19.840 --> 0:42:23.879
<v Speaker 5>If someone dies, they'll move the next day. Why that's

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:27.600
<v Speaker 5>just part of their their culture, their religion. If someone dies,

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:29.560
<v Speaker 5>they move the very next day. But they move every

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 5>two and a half months, and they won't go back

0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 5>to the same area for like another twenty years. It's

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:34.880
<v Speaker 5>like an environmentalist type of thing. They know, you know,

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:37.840
<v Speaker 5>they use up the resources and then they move and

0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:39.720
<v Speaker 5>then they just kind of do like a big circle

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.680
<v Speaker 5>around Nepal in certain areas, mostly in the middle of Nepal,

0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:44.680
<v Speaker 5>and then come back. They'll call it come back to

0:42:44.719 --> 0:42:47.400
<v Speaker 5>around that area about twenty years later. But they just

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:49.400
<v Speaker 5>keep moving and moving and moving. So they set up,

0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, there's temporary shelters and then day two days boom,

0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:53.680
<v Speaker 5>they're gone.

0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 3>And they said they never fight, they never, they never.

0:42:57.840 --> 0:43:00.840
<v Speaker 3>They they if there's an if there's a disagree, everybody

0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:01.399
<v Speaker 3>sits down.

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:02.319
<v Speaker 1>They just figure it out.

0:43:02.400 --> 0:43:04.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's equal, women and men are equal in their

0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:06.680
<v Speaker 5>decisions and things like that. The guy that I was

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:08.640
<v Speaker 5>talking to, he was just the spokesperson, but he was,

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:11.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, the de facto leader. But he really wasn't

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:13.720
<v Speaker 5>the leader, but he was the spokesperson who was willing

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:15.800
<v Speaker 5>to tell me all the traditions and the beliefs of

0:43:15.920 --> 0:43:18.800
<v Speaker 5>what they of the royalty of people do you believe?

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me back up a step, and I don't

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't mean this to sound negative towards them.

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:26.640
<v Speaker 1>What do they do all day?

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.759
<v Speaker 4>Sit around? Sound make food?

0:43:29.880 --> 0:43:32.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, it's if you see in the film, it's

0:43:32.800 --> 0:43:34.719
<v Speaker 5>becoming kind of dirty if they stay there for what

0:43:34.760 --> 0:43:36.239
<v Speaker 5>I was dead been there for about a month and

0:43:36.280 --> 0:43:36.600
<v Speaker 5>a half.

0:43:37.280 --> 0:43:38.960
<v Speaker 4>So again, hygiene is not a big thing.

0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:41.560
<v Speaker 5>That's one of the reasons why they're having trouble, right,

0:43:42.239 --> 0:43:45.640
<v Speaker 5>it's getting more dirty and bringing outside things in so

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:48.520
<v Speaker 5>it's not as clean sources as well. But yeah, they

0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:51.040
<v Speaker 5>just a lot of them just sit around and uh,

0:43:51.080 --> 0:43:53.000
<v Speaker 5>you know, like the one thing with the guy playing

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:54.480
<v Speaker 5>with his kids. You know, they're just sitting there eating

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:57.279
<v Speaker 5>bananas and just hang out each day and it's it's

0:43:57.320 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 5>really hot, so they'll hang out and talk with each other,

0:44:00.520 --> 0:44:02.879
<v Speaker 5>and then during the day they'll stay in their tents

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 5>with their kids and their family, and then they'll come

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.080
<v Speaker 5>out at night, whether a cooking rice or something like that.

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.400
<v Speaker 5>And they'll go into town periodically, go into town to

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:11.840
<v Speaker 5>trade stuff. Right, they make the woodwork, so going on

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:15.479
<v Speaker 5>and and sell that. From that, they'll get their rice

0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 5>or whatever, barley or whatever wherever they whatever they need.

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Because some some of the some of the members are

0:44:21.680 --> 0:44:26.360
<v Speaker 3>wearing loincloths or or like a like almost like a

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:28.799
<v Speaker 3>not like a bed sheet, but just like sudden they

0:44:28.800 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 3>wrap around and then I'm looking at some of them

0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:33.239
<v Speaker 3>like you got slides on, bro, Like that's all right,

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Like you're doing all right there.

0:44:34.800 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they'll take it where they can get it, for sure.

0:44:38.120 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 5>I mean, if someone gives them stuff, they'll take it.

0:44:40.280 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 5>It's not like no I can't. They'll take it if

0:44:42.520 --> 0:44:44.279
<v Speaker 5>they're if if someone gives it to them. But they

0:44:44.400 --> 0:44:47.160
<v Speaker 5>usually don't buy this thing. The only one only money

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.680
<v Speaker 5>they use from their materials that they sell is for

0:44:49.960 --> 0:44:52.040
<v Speaker 5>usually just for basic like food and then you know,

0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:54.200
<v Speaker 5>for brushing teeth, I guess and the.

0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Like. When you said like they don't they don't do anything,

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.120
<v Speaker 3>like at one point you're trying to like dance with

0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:02.359
<v Speaker 3>them or something, and I was like, you can't dance

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 3>all day, Like.

0:45:03.120 --> 0:45:04.719
<v Speaker 1>That's not that's not gonna happen.

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, that was a special ceremony.

0:45:07.680 --> 0:45:09.920
<v Speaker 5>And first of all, I don't dance, so I was

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:12.800
<v Speaker 5>dancing with them all I was filming them dance.

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:16.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm God forbidden me dancing with him. Puts on camera.

0:45:17.800 --> 0:45:19.760
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, this is the electric slot.

0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah no that would that would that would not

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:25.399
<v Speaker 4>be good material to watch.

0:45:26.400 --> 0:45:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Did they like your tattoos?

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? They thought that was interesting.

0:45:29.880 --> 0:45:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say, I bet, because I mean, it

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:34.560
<v Speaker 3>doesn't get addressed, but at some point you stick out

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:36.880
<v Speaker 3>a little bit when you're like yeah with them.

0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they knew I was coming for I had a guy.

0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but like you you're just you know, like you're

0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:47.919
<v Speaker 3>wearing like you got a backpack and you've got like obviously.

0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You had a drone, and but your arms are exposed.

0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:53.040
<v Speaker 1>And I was thinking, like for the for the younger kids.

0:45:53.080 --> 0:45:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Maybe for the adults they wouldn't care, but like for

0:45:55.560 --> 0:45:57.360
<v Speaker 3>the younger kids, I would think they would see your

0:45:57.440 --> 0:45:59.680
<v Speaker 3>arms and go like that's kind of bad ass or

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:01.880
<v Speaker 3>intrigued by it.

0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'd intrigued, was probably. Yeah, they're very intrigued.

0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:07.719
<v Speaker 5>They'd follow me around everywhere, of course, and you know

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:10.640
<v Speaker 5>I show that a little bit in the film about

0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:12.640
<v Speaker 5>how they're following me around and just you know, making

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:14.479
<v Speaker 5>sounds and stuff like that. Again, they could they would

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 5>mimic what I was saying, but they didn't understand what

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:17.120
<v Speaker 5>I was saying.

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:22.719
<v Speaker 3>What is the other than just capturing their history or

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:27.440
<v Speaker 3>being able to document if they if if within the

0:46:27.520 --> 0:46:30.160
<v Speaker 3>next ten years they they don't exist anymore.

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:34.279
<v Speaker 1>What a horrible thing to say that feels weird to say.

0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:35.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's sad.

0:46:35.520 --> 0:46:35.680
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:38.120
<v Speaker 5>They live a simple life, and that's one of the

0:46:38.200 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 5>things that kind of got gravitated towards it. And it

0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 5>goes back to our discussion earlier on mountaineering is life

0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:47.040
<v Speaker 5>doesn't have to be complicated. We make it complicated. You know,

0:46:47.320 --> 0:46:49.000
<v Speaker 5>you go to the store and you want to get yogurt.

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 5>You got twenty different yogurts. You only need one, you know.

0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:56.160
<v Speaker 5>It just things get complicated and everything there is very simplistic,

0:46:56.360 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 5>and that's unfortunately deteriorating. And so that's why I thought

0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:02.680
<v Speaker 5>it was important. I thought I could learn from them,

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:06.000
<v Speaker 5>and I did, of course. On again, life doesn't have

0:47:06.160 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 5>to be that hard.

0:47:07.719 --> 0:47:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Just we make it hard on ourselves, I think a

0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:10.560
<v Speaker 4>lot of the time.

0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 3>And it is.

0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:13.359
<v Speaker 1>But it's funny when you watch the when you watch

0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:15.799
<v Speaker 1>the documentary, it seems like it's hard.

0:47:17.600 --> 0:47:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's not that that time. It's not

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:21.000
<v Speaker 4>for me, yeah absolutely.

0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:23.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean, people like oh, without their phones and having

0:47:23.880 --> 0:47:26.279
<v Speaker 5>to search for food and go out hunting, Yeah for sure.

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:28.479
<v Speaker 5>You know, I don't know if i'd like that twenty

0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:31.760
<v Speaker 5>four to seven either. I just like the simplistic aspect

0:47:31.840 --> 0:47:35.080
<v Speaker 5>of being in nature, and I think anybody can get

0:47:35.160 --> 0:47:37.480
<v Speaker 5>used to it if you're put in that position long enough.

0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:41.000
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, for sure, it's not for it, not for everyone.

0:47:41.400 --> 0:47:44.120
<v Speaker 3>At the end of the at the end of the

0:47:44.200 --> 0:47:46.400
<v Speaker 3>document Oh, let me back up, because I wanted to

0:47:46.440 --> 0:47:49.240
<v Speaker 3>ask you, so, other than just documenting that there existence

0:47:49.360 --> 0:47:51.840
<v Speaker 3>or a little bit of a history, what else, what

0:47:51.960 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 3>else are you hoping to get out of it, other

0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:59.839
<v Speaker 3>than just to celebrate them or exposed not exposed sounds

0:47:59.880 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 3>like you're taking advantage of them, but just that these

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:03.280
<v Speaker 3>people existed.

0:48:03.680 --> 0:48:05.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's my whole thing. Yeah, I mean, I'm not

0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:08.600
<v Speaker 5>there to make money. You lose money in documentary filmmaking.

0:48:08.760 --> 0:48:11.560
<v Speaker 5>I've I've flust so much money on this. It's it's

0:48:11.640 --> 0:48:14.359
<v Speaker 5>the matter of just documenting what I feel is an

0:48:14.400 --> 0:48:17.799
<v Speaker 5>important component of life and being on this earth is Hey,

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:20.760
<v Speaker 5>these are a group of people. I want to document

0:48:20.840 --> 0:48:23.080
<v Speaker 5>them before they're before they're gone. I feel it's important,

0:48:23.760 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 5>and some other people may not feel that way.

0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:26.080
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:28.200
<v Speaker 4>I feel that's important. So that's why I was there.

0:48:28.640 --> 0:48:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Have you watched the credits to the movie, the credits

0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:36.560
<v Speaker 3>of the documentary of the documentary, Yeah, so like when

0:48:36.560 --> 0:48:38.399
<v Speaker 3>it rolls at the end. You've watched all of those

0:48:40.480 --> 0:48:41.839
<v Speaker 3>atmosphere drone eight.

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you wrote that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's

0:48:45.760 --> 0:48:47.120
<v Speaker 4>computer writing. It's not.

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh.

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I got all excited.

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:51.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, you're on the soundtrack. Yeah, I'm on a soundtrack,

0:48:51.520 --> 0:48:53.759
<v Speaker 5>but it's it's something I created. I mean, I play

0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:57.000
<v Speaker 5>guitar and drums, but you do. Yeah, yeah, guitar drums.

0:48:56.719 --> 0:49:00.520
<v Speaker 1>And where you like a like Nepall mountain drum circle.

0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Guy, everyone gather around. I will now play my guitar.

0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:07.400
<v Speaker 1>It's your favorite time of night, and you.

0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 5>Will sting along with me. There is only one river

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:15.040
<v Speaker 5>as ode to Everest. No no, but yeah, me and

0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:16.759
<v Speaker 5>me and my son jam all the time. But I

0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:19.120
<v Speaker 5>didn't feel I thought it was too much work to

0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:22.200
<v Speaker 5>do that. So, you know, through the through the atmospheric

0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:24.600
<v Speaker 5>drum thing, which is is not really complicated to do

0:49:24.800 --> 0:49:26.839
<v Speaker 5>these days, right. I did that because I like those

0:49:27.080 --> 0:49:30.560
<v Speaker 5>steady sounds that I feel are ominous and kind of

0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:32.080
<v Speaker 5>set the tone of the film.

0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Sure, and that's that's.

0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:36.080
<v Speaker 1>What I do. Okay. I got all excited.

0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:37.920
<v Speaker 3>I was like, man, you're on the soundtrack, look at

0:49:37.960 --> 0:49:40.439
<v Speaker 3>you go? The all right, So we had the book,

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:46.239
<v Speaker 3>we have the documentary. Obviously you're still doing all your

0:49:46.520 --> 0:49:49.840
<v Speaker 3>fitness stuff and all that. What what are you like,

0:49:49.960 --> 0:49:50.799
<v Speaker 3>what do we do next?

0:49:51.280 --> 0:49:54.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm still you know, still doing the leadership, executive leadership.

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:57.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm still doing yeah, film work. I'm I'm working on

0:49:57.760 --> 0:49:59.560
<v Speaker 5>trying to get an expedition going back. I want to

0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:02.600
<v Speaker 5>go to to India Himalaya, but I'm having tough time

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:06.000
<v Speaker 5>finding a logistic team. I thought I found one and

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:09.480
<v Speaker 5>then I said, you know, what recommendations do you have?

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:11.600
<v Speaker 5>So they sent me a bunch of stuff. So I

0:50:11.719 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 5>was looking through it and I was like, this has

0:50:13.360 --> 0:50:15.759
<v Speaker 5>kind of been done. You know, I want something a

0:50:15.760 --> 0:50:18.240
<v Speaker 5>little bit. Can you do something a little bit more challenging,

0:50:18.280 --> 0:50:20.840
<v Speaker 5>little something that kind of sets the bar? And then

0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:21.600
<v Speaker 5>they ghosted me.

0:50:23.400 --> 0:50:24.680
<v Speaker 4>You stop talking to me. I'm like, oh, here you

0:50:24.760 --> 0:50:27.480
<v Speaker 4>go here again. They just tell me you can't do

0:50:27.600 --> 0:50:28.480
<v Speaker 4>it or you don't want to do it.

0:50:28.560 --> 0:50:30.400
<v Speaker 3>But but what is the like when you say the

0:50:30.520 --> 0:50:33.440
<v Speaker 3>India Himalaya is what am I looking at there?

0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:36.400
<v Speaker 4>It's the Himalaya. I just in India. I've never been to.

0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:38.080
<v Speaker 5>It's kind of like the reason I went to Spain

0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:40.880
<v Speaker 5>for the one of the film premieres is. I've never

0:50:40.960 --> 0:50:43.200
<v Speaker 5>been into Spain, and it's always nice to see your

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:45.800
<v Speaker 5>film on a big screen. So, and I love the Himalaya.

0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:47.399
<v Speaker 5>I've never been to India, so here you go. Here's

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:49.120
<v Speaker 5>two things. It's like when I went to the North Pole. Right,

0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:50.800
<v Speaker 5>I've never been a North Pole. I've never won a marathon.

0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:51.799
<v Speaker 5>Let's do two things.

0:50:52.040 --> 0:50:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Those both out.

0:50:53.480 --> 0:50:55.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So I was thinking, well, I love to go

0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:57.480
<v Speaker 5>to India, the northern part. I've heard some good things

0:50:57.480 --> 0:50:58.759
<v Speaker 5>about it, and I would love to go back to

0:50:58.760 --> 0:51:01.200
<v Speaker 5>the Himalaya. I heard there's some really that, you know,

0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:03.439
<v Speaker 5>the Pakistan in India that kind of have some they're

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:06.759
<v Speaker 5>bumping heads, but there's some kind of sketchy areas and

0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:09.880
<v Speaker 5>some mountaineers mountaineering regions that I was thinking, you know what,

0:51:10.000 --> 0:51:12.560
<v Speaker 5>that kind of sounds enticing, So maybe I'll look. I'm

0:51:12.600 --> 0:51:14.080
<v Speaker 5>looking into it to see if I can go there.

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.839
<v Speaker 5>And this would be after, of course, our hiking trip

0:51:16.920 --> 0:51:17.680
<v Speaker 5>to Shasta.

0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, that's part.

0:51:19.960 --> 0:51:21.000
<v Speaker 4>That's number one.

0:51:22.000 --> 0:51:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Is there a good time like two things? Number one,

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:25.960
<v Speaker 1>is there a good time of year to do that?

0:51:26.520 --> 0:51:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Usually in the spring, like May, like out.

<v Speaker 5>We can go all all summer, but I like going

0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 5>early because it's more snow. It's easier to hike, easier

0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:46.080
