The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

I mean, obviously, occasionally I stress about things, but just not the way I think a lot of people do.

Well, presumably.

I mean, like meditation, things like that.

I think people can sort of find a way to let go of certain things.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

Different natures.

The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

But I do feel like, in my case, the biggest difference in nature is the fact that I've just always loved climbing.

The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

You know, because basically I think that nurture is the majority of this.

Like, if you spend 30 years training a thing, you're going to get better at the thing.

And so I think that the biggest difference between me and somebody who's not into rock climbing is that I freaking love rock climbing.

I could do it 10 days a week if I could.

You know what I mean?

But sadly, I get too tired and my body breaks down.

And so...

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

I basically have a limitless capacity to do the thing.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

I just love doing the thing.

The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

And I think that that is probably the biggest difference in nature.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

Because everything else you can kind of overcome.

The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

If you loved rock climbing as much as I love rock climbing, no matter what your genetic disposition towards neuroticism and all that stuff, you would just kind of work through all that stuff and you'd find your own path to getting good at climbing, basically.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

I wouldn't give them advice.

I'd be like, you do you.
