In this episode, Carey is joined by Jesse Tubbs, an adventure racer and coach whose understanding of pausing was shaped in high-stakes, multi-day races that rely on map-and-compass navigation across biking, hiking, running, and kayaking terrain. Jesse shares how slowing down—once a source of frustration—became essential for course correction, team alignment, and success, reminding us that the fastest person on the course can still be going the wrong way. Together, we explore the power of creating moments of stillness to gain clarity, cultivating awareness and compassionate acceptance of our experiences, and honoring what both we and others bring to the table when navigating challenge, leadership, and life.
