Benny Marr is known as one of the best big wave and river paddlers in the world, but I've always been just as impressed by his self-awareness, growth mindset and lighthearted humor.

There's so much packed into this episode! Benny shares his thoughts on ego and kayaking, and how he has used his ego for both 'good' and 'evil' throughout his career.

He distinguishes between being self-conscious versus self-confident, and how that has helped him grow and progress on and off the water.

We talk about the satisfaction and confidence that comes from feeling that you've accomplished what you set out to accomplish, and followed the passions you set out to follow.

Benny also shares his processes for gaining proficiency in kayaking, including video review, choosing confidence, and incorporating yoga and breathwork.

If you want to learn from the journey of one of the best and most grounded paddlers in the world, tune into this episode!
