Acclaimed author, former National Geographic photographer, and professional athlete Cory Richards joins us on a journey of personal transformation and resilience. We explore Cory's awe-inspiring experience of climbing Mount Everest without supplemental oxygen, which serves as a profound metaphor for the existential challenges we all face. From the solitude of the summit to the depths of his personal struggles with bipolar II disorder, Cory offers candid insights into how embracing discomfort and facing mortality can lead to true growth and understanding.
