In this episode of The Discomfort Zone podcast, Philip Henderson, the leader of the first all African American Everest expedition, and pioneer in promoting outdoor activities for underrepresented communities, shares his insights on embracing discomfort and overcoming fear and anxiety.

We talk about the importance of making choices based on personal growth and happiness, rather than seeking validation from others, and how he has navigated that in his own life.

Philip shares his wisdom on how to confidently show up as yourself in the outdoors at any and all skill level for joy and growth.

• How to embrace discomfort and separate it from fear and anxiety to move forward in life.
• Learn from mistakes, because they shape who you are.
• How to not let the judgment of others dictate your decisions.
• How he encourages underrepresented communities to engage in outdoor activities and create a more inclusive outdoor community.
