In this podcast we focus on the importance of orchestrated struggle to know yourself and the value of having a brotherhood or community. Aubrey shares insane stories from his recent trip to Poland to study under the breath Maestro Wim Hof with a band of brothers. He also shares his wisdom gained in 6 days in total darkness. There’s so much to pull from this episode...wisdom, experience, choosing self-love over self-loathing, plenty of laughs and a few tears...it wouldn’t be a TGU podcast without some raw emotion...and was nice that I wasn’t the only one this time.
