The Born Primitive Podcast

On today’s episode, Bear and Tony share some insight on what it means to “Burn the Boats.” 

What’s holding you back from going all-in on an endeavor, a dream, an ambition, a pursuit or even a relationship? Sometimes, we have to burn the boats on the things standing in the way of being the people we want to be. 

Burning the boats can signify a mindset of total dedication and determination to achieve a goal, with no fallback options or safety nets. It's about fully investing in a pursuit and not allowing oneself to be distracted or discouraged by setbacks or difficulties.

On today’s episode, Bear and Tony talk with Riley Gaines, one of the prominent voices championing the integrity of women’s sports.
