#17: Professional Ice Climber and Red Bull Athlete on Sucking Less w/ Will Gadd

“The positive power of negative thinking has saved my life many times in the mountains.”

All-round action hero Will Gadd (@realwillgadd) is a living legend in the truest sense. Year after year, he continually pushes the boundaries of ice climbing and even after having won every major title from the World Cup to the Winter X Games, he still manages to impress. Will’s professional climbing career spans more than 30 years of high adventure from Africa to Greenland, and he’s an inspirational character. 

This is a wide-ranging conversation that covers topics such as excellence (or rather, sucking less), his incredible adventures across continents, Building resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, managing risk, seizing opportunity, and risk mitigation in low-knowledge environments.
