Happy to release part 2 of my interview with professional adventure skier and filmmaker, Brody Leven. In this episode, Brody and I discuss the obstacles that he faces on an ongoing basis in the work that he does and how he has learned to manage the fear that can arise from the danger that he is constantly up against. He shares his insight around avalanche risk management, the role of fear, and the powerful impact that preparation, learning, and intuition play in keeping him and his partners safe during their expeditions.

Despite having over ten years experience climbing up and skiing down some of the most challenging mountains in the world, Brody constantly takes on a beginner's mindset in order to stay open to new learning, so that he can continue to thrive, both personally and professionally in his field of work. Brody is an inspiring person who has a strong passion for the outdoors, educating others about the impact of climate change, and filmmaking. It was a delight to have him on my podcast.

Brody's Bio:
