About this listen
In this episode, we talk about the recent 65-mile PCT section hike Adam just went on and how it turned into a living workshop on surrender, ownership, and range. We unpack missed turnoffs, dry stretches with no water, blisters, ego flare-ups, and the moments we each slipped out of our window of tolerance…and how we found our way back.
Why this matters (beyond hiking):
- Goals vs. ego: noticing when “the plan” is actually tightening your world instead of expanding it
- The 90-second emotion reset: stopping loops before they run your day
- Group dynamics under stress: leading, following, and not letting your goal bulldoze someone else’s capacity
- Range: how physical range quietly expands emotional, relational, and spiritual range
- Ownership over blame: the shift that dissolves conflict fast
- Nature as mirror: a grounded take on “spiritual experience” that even skeptics can feel
You don’t need 65 miles to get the medicine. A local trail, or a slow walk in the park, will do. If you’ve been white-knuckling your plans or feeling far from yourself, this one’s a reset. Take it on a walk.
