At 50, Chris Bertish has built his life on pushing the boundaries of human endurance. From conquering Mavericks with no sleep and borrowed gear to paddling 4,600 miles across the Atlantic solo, his story is proof that commitment, mindset, and resilience can rewrite what we think is possible.

In this storytelling episode, Chris takes us inside his biggest challenges—the brutal storms, the mental battles, and the moments of absolute clarity that only come from pushing beyond fear.

🔥 In this episode, we cover:
✅ What it’s really like to paddle across an ocean alone for 93 days—the exhaustion, the fear, and the breakthroughs.
✅ A masterclass on visualization—how Chris mentally “blueprints” success before it happens.
✅ The fine line between courage and recklessness—and how to know when to push forward or step back.
✅ How fear is actually a guidepost, not a roadblock.
✅ The “all in” philosophy—what it means to truly commit to something bigger than yourself.
