And if you shrink that circle to what's actually important in the moment, it's okay, like it's, it makes it more manageable and there's a lot more joy that comes out of.
Imagine facing avalanches, pulmonary edema, and tribal warfare while climbing the tallest mountains on every continent. Now, picture taking those lessons and applying them to the journey of sobriety. In this episode of 'Braving the Journey', global adventurer John Beede shares his extraordinary experiences with host Zach Mathers. John’s story is not just about conquering Mount Everest but also about the inner mountains he had to climb to maintain his sobriety.
He has traveled to 67 countries, written three books, and spoken to nearly a million people. His latest book, 'The Warrior Challenge: 8 Quests for Boys to Grow Up with Kindness, Courage, and Grit', reflects his commitment to nurturing resilience and compassion in the next generation. John discusses how the teamwork required for climbing Everest mirrors the support needed for sobriety.
Just as climbers rely on each other, those on the path to recovery need a tribe of supportive friends and family. He emphasizes the importance of being present, focusing on the moment rather than getting lost in worries about the past or future. This mindfulness has been crucial in both his adventures and his sobriety. John also touches on the significance of finding a community that shares your values and goals.
Whether it’s fellow climbers or those in recovery, having a supportive network can make all the difference. His insights offer a unique perspective on how physical and mental challenges can be overcome with courage, kindness, and grit. Tune in to hear more about John’s incredible journey and the life lessons he’s learned along the way.
