Erik Weihenmayer is a blind adventurer who has climbed Mt. Everest, tackled the Seven Summits and kayaked the Grand Canyon. Today he's sharing his journey, struggles and traumas. After listening to our conversation today, I know you'll walk away feeling inspired to overcome your own obstacles, big or small. This interview was so powerful, I've split it into 2 episodes so part two will follow next week.

What's In This Episode:

• How Erik achieved one of his big goals of climbing Mount Everest while blind.
• While being blind is an obstacle for Erik and others, he explains other challenges we all face and how strength can outweigh those hardships.
• Erik's three categories we fall into when facing a challenge: Quitter, Camper and Climber.
• Why it's important to grow our "muscle of suffering"
• The importance of giving and receiving help and seeing that as an advantage when dealing with challenges.
