Miles is an accomplished canopy pilot with more than 7,200 skydives and 4,500 BASE jumps, which is more known BASE jumps than anyone on the planet. He is a member of the Red Bull Air Force, a specialized human flight team of expert pilots. Miles also holds the world record for the most human-powered BASE jumps in 24 hours. With Dasher’s record of 63, he climbed a total of 30,618 feet in 24 hours. For reference, Mount Everest — the tallest mountain in the world — towers at 29,029 feet. Or, in Daisher’s case, 60 BASE jump cycles.

On this episode, we learn how a single moment at the age of 25 changed the trajectory of Miles' life, as well as the importance of taking calculated risks and having a lust for life.
