John Beede shares his harrowing experiences and life-altering insights from summiting mountains on all 7 continents. Mountaineering has given John unique and ultra valuable lessons on death, goal setting, and empowerment. John sees many men entering the same toxic patterns of repression and concealment, and has made it his mission to offer men a new strategy for dealing with inner pain. We also talk about how to utilize the medicine wheel and why our perspective on death dictates our quality of life.
