Today, we’re sharing an episode of ReThinking, a podcast from the TED Audio Collective. In this episode, Free Solo climber Alex Honnold sits down with organizational psychologist Adam Grant to talk about regulating emotions when you’re hanging off the edge of a cliff, what still scares him, and how he stays motivated. If you’d like to hear more from leading thinkers and creators, follow ReThinking wherever you get your podcasts. Each week, Adam dives into the minds of interesting people to learn the unique ways they think and find practices we can all apply in our daily lives to live a little better.
