Join Josh McKinney(@thejoshmckinney) as he sits down with Stephan Kesting ( @StephanKesting )—jiu-jitsu black belt, kidney transplant survivor, and wilderness adventurer—who completed a grueling 1,000-mile canoe journey across the Canadian subarctic.

In this conversation, Stephan reveals how he overcame brutal storms, near hypothermia, and countless rapids, all while balancing the demands of a transplanted kidney and an aging body.

Discover the mindset, strategies, and hard-earned lessons that fueled this epic trek into one of Earth’s most remote regions and how a journey like this can so closely relate to a Jiu-Jitsu Journey.
