Spartan Up Podcast had the chance to speak with legendary adventure photographer Jimmy Chin about his 3 attempts to ski Everest and how risk management and passion governs life. Very interesting interview if you can hang in there. These are the three main lessons learned according to Spartan Up:

Lesson 1: If you instill a model of excellence early on in your children, they may not do the thing you had hoped, but they will likely be successful at whatever they do.

Lesson 3: The ones who are really good are able to calculate risk at a very high level. able to take things to the edge without going over.
