In this episode of Climbing the Summit, host Danny Cobbin uses the metaphor of a mountain climb to explore the fog of mental uncertainty—the self-defeating lies and doubts that keep us stuck. Danny shares personal stories of moving past procrastination and shifting his idea of success from chasing external wealth to showing up fully in each moment. Rather than offering quick fixes, he invites listeners to look toward the “Big T” truth within themselves, reminding us that resilience is our natural state. This episode is a powerful reflection on clearing the mental fog and recognizing the extraordinary in everyday life.

In this episode of Climbing the Summit, Danny explores how our experience of suffering—what yogic philosophy calls dukkha—arises not from external events, but from the thoughts and stories we attach to them. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of the Eight Limbs of Yoga, he reminds us that physical postures are only one step on a much deeper path toward self-realization. Through practices like pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) and meditation, we learn to train our focus and let the mental “sediment” settle, revealing the clarity that’s always been beneath the surface.
This episode invites listeners to look beyond ego (ahankara) and discover their own definition of success—not through striving, but through stillness and awareness.

In this episode of Climbing the Summit, host Danny Cobin unpacks the modern struggle of “revenge bedtime procrastination”—those late nights we steal for ourselves after long days of giving to others.

Drawing connections to the yogic concept of dukkha—suffering rooted in attachment—Danny explores how this behavior reveals deeper truths about desire, outcomes, and the human condition.

Blending Buddhist philosophy with practical reflection, he reminds us that suffering is inevitable, but beating ourselves up only adds to the weight we carry. Instead, Danny offers a path of grace: accepting where we are, loosening our grip on outcomes, and meeting ourselves with compassion.
