Transcript:

Good morning everyone. Welcome to this episode of the Path to 1 Million. This is going to be episode 167. I apologize for the late addition going out today. Apparently if you do 100 burpees, it actually really wears you out. I did my a hundred burpees yesterday. Actually. I felt fine. Had a lot of energy throughout the day, which is good cause I needed it. And when I went down last night, Holy sweet Moses, smell the roses. Did I go down? My alarm went off at about 3:30 AM Pacific goes time this morning. And I went right back to sleep, woke up then about four o'clock. I called and talked to Sherry for a little bit and then I put the note on Facebook broadcast and this morning and boom, I was, as soon as I posted it, I was gone. Like literally gone. Like literally like I won't go like 20 minutes ago.

And I'm like, Oh crap, I gotta get shower. I got to do Facebook live. So I wanted to talk a little bit about I wanted to talk a little bit about something. So last night I was watching this documentary on Hulu and it's called K2 and out of your comfort zone, and it's this group of, there's Swiss climbers, there's German climbers. I, there's some guy from Finland that's on the team and their ultimate goal is to go and climb K2 and K2 is in the middle of Pakistan. If you know anything about a mountain climbing, I love watching these mountain climbing documentaries, love, love, love them. It's actually my bucket list item. I want to go to like the base camp of Mount Everest. I think that would be just a totally cool journey. Anyways, so these guys want to go and at the very beginning of the documentary, the leader of this expedition says, you know, we could get on a flame plane and you know, we could leave out of Geneva and just fly to Pakistan and they go climb the mountain.

He goes, but what fun is there in that? So him and these other guys, they have these, all these Mercedes, these alternating vehicles kind of like, they almost look like Humvees, like high end Humvees or something. And they pack them full of gear pack and full equipment. And they just, they drive, they track and they've, they left Switzerland and they went up through the Ukraine and they'd go up to Latvia and they were in Russia, which just seems like every police officer in Russia is crooked, but they come down and then they start going through you know, all these like different countries on the map. And finally they're in Pakistan, but they're showing their journey along the way and all the obstacles that they have to, you know, they have to overcome. They haven't even made it to K2 yet.

And we're about 45, 50 minutes into the documentary and it's just showing all the challenges that they got in it. There's like some areas where like, especially in Pakistan, they don't even have like really good quality roads. So a lot of the time these these Mercedes all-terrain vehicles, they get stuck, they get stuck in the sand. They get stuck in the rocks. There was one point where there was like a flood through the area and the road completely disintegrated. And you know, all the local people that are there, they're, you know, they're not out, you know, protesting and say, Oh, the government needs to take care of us and all this other stuff.
