One thing I’ve learned after a lifetime of pushing my body to its limits: the key to knowing when to press on is to trust my gut. When you know, you know.
On K2, my gut told me “don’t go”, and that decision saved my life. In Antarctica (on the Impossible First crossing), when I was almost two months into the journey and 77 miles from the finish, my gut was telling me “Go, don’t stop”.
I had been pulling my sled for 12 hours a day and setting up my tent each night, but in that moment I felt so dialed in and connected that I knew I could push on straight to the finish without stopping.
32 hours and 77 miles later, I reached the end.
When I made the decision to press on, I was at my weakest point of the journey, physically. But my mind was at its strongest.
Limitations change.
Listen to your gut. It knows what’s possible.

Despite having to hike down instead of ski, energy was high on summit #1 of the 50 High Points project in summer of 2018!
Went straight from the base of Denali to Hawaii and onward to summiting the highest point in the remaining 48 states — all in 21 days! Whirlwind.
You can read more about 50HP on my website or check out my YouTube page to see the videos!

THANKFUL for the little things, ‘for it’s in looking back that they’re really the big things’. (Robert Brault)
We all strive for big accomplishments and experiences – myself included – but today I’m reminded to savor the in-between moments of life; evening walks with my wife, connecting with dear friends… the seemingly mundane is infinitely beautiful.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself only as you are? Or do you also see the person you’ll become?
Being able to see the person I’d become was how I was able to make the leaps I needed to make to accomplish almost every achievement you know me for.
How I got there was by changing from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
I went from thinking in terms of what I can’t do to what I can do.
A growth mindset says, “I may be this one person in this moment, but there’s no reason I can’t grow, evolve, and learn to be any other type of person in the next moment.” It’s the idea that through hard work and determination, you can learn and improve.
This is how I went from never having rowed a boat to achieving a world record for rowing across the Drake Passage. As a team of 6, we crossed the most dangerous ocean way in a rowboat in 2019.
Embracing a growth mindset is a crucial component of living with a Possible Mindset™

What if I told you that no matter what decision you make you can’t fail? That each step you take will open the door to new possibilities? What perceived risks would you take on that you’re currently afraid of?

The 12-Hour Walk has been out in the world for almost 4 months now! It’s been incredible to see so many people take on the challenge and shift their mindsets. I provide the roadmap and guidance, but the rest is you.
Your walk. Your pace. Your goals.
Your 12-Hour Walk is just that: yours.
12 hours, unplugged, by yourself.
No training necessary. No cost.
Choose a day for your walk and put it on your calendar. Don’t move it! Your journey starts with keeping a single promise to yourself.
Set your phone to airplane mode on your walk. No texts, music, podcasts, social media, or alerts.
Walk out your front door and stay out for 12 hours, alone, in silence. Streets, trails, beaches or city sidewalks—choose the route that speaks to you.
Listen to your body and take breaks as often as you like, for as long as you need. The 12-Hour Walk isn’t a race. It doesn’t matter if you walk one mile or fifty.
——
Have you done the 12-Hour Walk yet?
Would love to hear your reflections if you want to share! You can listen to other peoples’ experiences over on @12hourwalk
#BePossible
When you start taking relentless action with an abundance mindset and a firm belief in a positive outcome, you’ll give energy and oxygen to your specific goal and the specific WHY that links to it.
Like-minded people who can help will be drawn to you.
Don’t give up!
It will take time.

Kids don’t have stories of limitation rattling around in their minds. Their lens on life is POSSIBILITY!
The older the audience I speak to, the less enthusiasm and response I get when I ask people what their Everest is 🤔
So many of us stop dreaming as we get older. It’s hard to maintain positivity, I get it! Life is hard. Pursuing anything rewarding takes a lot of work – and often rejection, criticism, resources, etc..
But it’s our BIRTHRIGHT to see the world the way we did as kids and to go after the things that light us up. That’s where the highs of life are found.
Doesn’t it bring you joy just thinking about it?
What’s your Everest in your own life right now?
Get after it!

I HAD NO MONEY. I needed $500,000. I had a dream that I was passionate about : my first global expedition – to break the world record for the Explorer’s Grand Slam – but I no resources and no idea how to get there.
Can you relate to this feeling?
THIS IS THE MOMENT WHERE MOST DREAMS GO TO DIE.
My wife Jenna and I also wanted to start a non-profit to impact school kids in the process. We had no idea how to raise half a million dollars or how to start a nonprofit, but we googled everything. We started taking step after step, reaching out to people, pitching our vision. Over the course of 18 months we had hundreds of doors slammed in our faces. Rejection after rejection. But I clung to this positivity I held within. I felt doubt and defeat, but deep down I also knew I had the potential to figure it out.
One month before it was time to leave for the expedition, I was still hundreds of thousands of dollars short. It was not looking good. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO NORMAL TO GIVE UP.
If you’ve read my books you know how this ended.
When I least expected it, someone took an interest and felt my passion when I shared what I was trying to achieve. After all of those doors slammed in my face, and hope was running out, I knocked on one more door and found the right person who believed in my dreams and helped turn it to reality.
What it right now you are just one door away from unlocking your dreams?
I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had given up, if I had told myself, “it wasn’t meant to be” or “I don’t have enough money”.
Money and resources are abundant.
Keep going.
The achievement will be even sweeter because of the strength and grit it took to stick with it.

We occasionally had some downtime on the Impossible Row!
When in doubt, DANCE.
Life is good, even when it’s not!

A RESERVOIR OF UNTAPPED POTENTIAL unlocks when you shift your mindset toward the positive.
It’s easy to let negativity and exhaustion get the best of us when we’re facing obstacles. It’s easy to let stories of limitation play in our minds.
What requires more strength and practice is to tap into positivity; to remember that there is always a solution – a sense of possibility – in the eye of the storm you find yourself in. THAT is where you’ll find reservoirs of untapped potential waiting to be released.
Your reservoir runs deep. Your Possible Mindset™ is your way in.
