Meditative Story

Making adjustments in free fall, by Curtis Rivers


Listen Later

Through his long and storied career as a stuntman, Curtis Rivers has appeared in scores of films and television shows, ranging from James Bond movies to Captain America to Game of Thrones. He has won a Screen Actor Guilds Awards as well as membership in the Hollywood Stuntmen’s Hall of Fame. The Briton is also a two-time Guinness World Record Holder, in the longest-duration parachute jump (45 minutes) and the longest bungee cord jump (from a hot-air balloon just above 15,000 feet). In today’s Meditative Story, Curtis shares how his ability to visualize the path ahead became a key component to his success, and allowed him to forge a new future for himself along the way.  

Curtis now works primarily as a stunt coordinator and inspirational speaker. He is the author of The Fearless Path: What a Movie Stuntman’s Spiritual Path can Teach You about Success
