ALEX HONNOLD: ONE Interview Before Free-Soloing Taiwan’s Tallest Building LIVE (This Episode Will Change Your Relationship with FEAR)

Climbing still always has some edge to it because fundamentally you could die. I think that it changes your relationship with fear because you experience it a lot. Fear is just feeling some sensations in your body. If you're used to that state of discomfort, you're kind of like, oh, it's just another day. Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose.

I am so thankful that you're tuning in for a very special episode. Today's guest is someone that I've written about in my book. Think Like a Monk. It's someone that I've mentioned in countly Daily Jay meditations on the Carmap. It's someone's story that I've been fascinated with for quite some time.

I'm speaking about Alex Honnold, one of the greatest climbers in history, an athlete who has expanded our understanding of courage, focus, and human potential, from his Oscar-winning free solo ascent to his upcoming live climb of Taipei 101. Alex continues to push the boundaries of what's possible. He's the founder of the Honnold Foundation, using his platform to bring solar energy to communities in need. Today we're diving into the mindset that makes it all possible. Please welcome to on purpose Alex Honold.
