Talking about that failure and how obstacles are the way, that part of me breaking my femur was so instrumental to my strengths as a person and as a skier.
In this captivating episode of The War Podcast, hosts Dustin Hawkins and Frankie Day welcome professional skier and entrepreneur Julian Carr. Julian shares his inspiring journey from his high school days in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he was entrenched in the party scene, to finding his passion for skiing and transforming it into a career. Despite the challenges and the wild party energy of his youth, Julian discovered that skiing allowed him to channel his enthusiasm into constructive pursuits.
Julian discusses the importance of embracing failure and the profound impact it had on his personal development. He recounts a pivotal moment at age 23 when a skiing accident nearly severed his femoral artery, enlightening him on the significance of facing obstacles and learning from them. This experience taught him to remain present and focused, aligning his mind, body, and soul to conquer fear and find his footing.
The conversation delves into the spiritual aspect of skiing, where Julian compares the clarity and presence required on the slopes to the meditation practices of Buddhist monks. He emphasizes the importance of setting goals, remaining diligent, and not being disheartened by setbacks. Julian also introduces his weekly challenge, encouraging listeners to start each day with 20 push-ups and a 60-second plank—a simple yet effective routine he has followed for years to maintain discipline and physical health.
Beyond skiing, Julian has successfully founded Discreet Clothing and the Cirque Series, showcasing his ability to balance passion with entrepreneurship. He shares insights into running a business remotely, collaborating with like-minded individuals, and preparing for the holiday season. Whether you're a skiing enthusiast, someone seeking motivation, or interested in personal growth, Julian Carr's story offers valuable lessons in resilience, spirituality, and overcoming life's hurdles.
