In this episode I reflect on a recent trip to Thailand, discussing experiences from the Nogi Summit camp and upcoming personal milestones, including becoming a father. The conversation meanders through various topics, including the excitement and challenges of raising a child, the host's natural affinity with kids, and a deep dive into life philosophy centered around stepping out of comfort zones, resisting the fear of the unknown, and pursuing true passions. Anecdotes from interactions with locals and fellow travelers in Thailand provide a backdrop to broader discussions on societal norms, materialism, and the superficial pursuit of validation. The episode also touches on the importance of quality over quantity in training and maintaining a genuine drive for personal and professional growth.
