Cory Richards | From Climbing Mountains to Consciously Healing
My guest today is Cory Richards. Cory is an internationally renowned photographer, filmmaker, and author of new memoir, The Color of Everything. He is the first and only American to climb one of the world’s 8000m peaks in winter. His documentation of the climb and aftermath of the experience was made into the award-winning documentary COLD and appeared on the cover of the 125th anniversary issue of National Geographic. Richards is a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Photographer Fellow, and a two-time recipient of an Explorers Grant. He has an active speaking career, in which he speaks about conservation, the future of psychology and mental health, leadership, the tenuous line of risk and reward, and vulnerability.
Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:
- Unique dynamics involved in writing a memoir
- The spectrum of vulnerability and its various functions
- How we can get stuck in stories about our trauma or diagnoses
- The seduction of fame and success
- The point of of life arriving in the present moment
- And what it’s like climbing some of the tallest peaks in the world
