And so the ability really is about growth mindset. You know, Carol Dweck, the woman who really originated that concept, you know, this idea that we can be and become anything that we set our minds to through diligence and hard work. Of saying, I might not be this right now, but a fixed mindset says, I might not be this right now, and I will never be this ever.

But a growth mindset, the same mindset that I applied to this rowing project with the most dangerous ocean in the world is like, I am not a rower yet, but I can reach into my resources, people I know, my network, et cetera, and learn some skills. And the story in the book starts out with me quite literally falling flat on my face.

The first stroke I try to take in this tiny little, really unstable rowboat and falling into a Lammet River in Portland, Oregon, near where I was living, where I grew up. But it didn't stop me. I got back in the rowboat, got back in again, and ultimately completed that crossing of Drake Passage, becoming the first person in history to row the most dangerous ocean crossing in the world.

But had I stopped with that limiting belief, or have you listening stopped with the limiting belief, I'm not this, I'm not that, well, you never will become that. But being able to claim that identity, I am this, a possible mindset says the possibilities are limitless.

Yeah. So, you know, I do a lot of public speaking. And in this sense, I was invited to give a speech for a Wall Street group. And I was giving the speech the following day. But the day before, they kind of invited me to a small, intimate gathering with like eight or so folks. You said all, you know, billionaire, hedge fund manager, investor, you know, big hotshot guys in Wall Street.

Older gentlemen, kind of average age was mid 60s, maybe early 70s. And it was a very interesting night. I certainly maybe was a little bit of fish out of water, as you mentioned, walking up in a T-shirt and jeans and low top Jordan sneakers. But, you know, they made me feel welcome. And we had a really interesting conversation just around hopes and dreams and aspirations and goals.

But they really wanted to hear about my expeditions. Oh, what was crossing Antarctica like? What was it like being on Everest? Do you see dead bodies?
