Barriers do not break themselves. You have to get out there. It can be scary, but I promise you, there are profound rewards when you become willing to take that first step. That’s when you start realizing your potential – that’s when you start living. Thanks National Geographic!

Chris Waddell asked me questions so profound it brought me to tears. He reminded me of the power of Rope Teams and the power we all have inside us to live big, bold, meaningful lives. I hope you tune in and enjoy the conversation on his podcast, Living It: share.transistor.fm/s/afd208c2
