An Exploration of Effort, Polymaths and Super Powers with John Mark Seelig
John Mark Seelig is the captain of the US Men’s Whitewater Rafting team who have attempted breaking the speed record in the Grand Canyon twice. In this episode we explore the merits of failure and why it’s worth doing more often, we unpack the idea of effort for the day and why choosing the hard thing is always a good idea. And we dive into finding your purpose and super powers in life, something we all need to be focused on.
