Photographer and filmmaker Chris Burkard has found himself in some terrifying situations while chasing adventure around the world. He shares how those experiences have changed the way he trains and prepares, his approach to recovery, and his philosophy of "Expecting Magic." Instead of focusing on everything that could go wrong, he chooses to focus on everything that could go right. This conversation was eye opening and I left it feeling crazy inspired and I think you will too. Enjoy the episode!
