About this listen

 Akshay Nanavati is not your typical adventurer — he’s a former Marine, a survivor of war-induced PTSD, and a seeker of what he calls the “crucible of suffering.” In this deeply introspective and intensely raw conversation, Akshay explores how pain, guilt, and darkness became vehicles for transcendence in his life. From confronting suicidal despair and alcoholism to dragging sleds across frozen wastelands in Antarctica, Akshay shares why he deliberately ventures into physical and psychological extremes. He talks about the paradox of finding peace in chaos, the value of darkness retreats, the necessity of knowing when to quit, and how pushing to the edge can awaken a deeper meaning in life. This is a conversation about discipline, purpose, and the pursuit of inner freedom through radical self-mastery.
