Listen Later

This week on The Discomfort Zone Podcast, I'm joined by Boyd Ruppelt—a seasoned whitewater kayaker, guide, and instructor—who shares his wisdom on confronting fear and managing risk in high-stakes environments.

Boyd offers a deep dive into the art of risk management and the guiding philosophies that shape his approach to both pursuing and guiding adventure sports. Together, we explore the unique mental challenges of kayaking and draw parallels to other sports Boyd is passionate about - skydiving and surfing.

Boyd's stories and insights shine a light on how understanding fear can transform it into a powerful tool for growth and self-discovery.

If you've ever wondered how to embrace risk, push your limits, and cultivate a richer, more fearless engagement with life, this episode is for you. Tune in and let Boyd's journey inspire your own path through discomfort and beyond!
