This episode is a little different.

After a father-son trip to the mountains, a few reflections came back down from 14,000 feet…freezing temps, no electronics, and some VERY real physical and emotional challenges…

Turns out, it was about a lot more than getting to the summit.

From scheduling what matters, to doing hard things with people you love, to learning how fear and clarity often walk hand-in-hand.

Key takeaways from the episode:

• Why the most important things in life must be scheduled

• How adversity builds connection and reveals hidden gifts

• Why presence is the portal to joy

• What the ridge crossing taught about fear and clarity

• The magic of one-on-one time with your kids

This one's for anyone who needs a push to unplug, gear up, and go deep with the people who matter most.
