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

It makes sense that your grip strength is proportionate.

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

I mean, you're like 25% bigger than me.

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

You know, basically.

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

So it's like you would expect it to be at least 25% stronger right there just because if you can do bodyweight pull-ups, you're going to be much stronger.

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

I mean, that seems there are basically two other avenues that I care about in my life.

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

You know, my family, I want to be a good dad.

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

I want to make sure my kids grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted people that, you know, like live their best lives.

And then I have a foundation that supports community solar projects around the world.

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

And I'd love to see that thrive.

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

I mean, basically, I mean, you know, we give as much as we can to solar projects around the world.

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

And I'd love to see that do more.

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

Yeah, solar.

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

It's basically energy access around the world.

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

Yeah, I think now we've given over $13 million to something like over 100 partners around the world, basically like small-scale community solar projects.

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

So people getting access to energy for the first time.

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

Basically using solar for anything ranging from light to, say, food refrigeration to pumping water.

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

I mean, whatever people need energy for, which is basically everything.

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

Yeah, some of those things are sort of like the secondary and tertiary benefits, where it's like when you empower certain kinds of communities, then they're better able to take care of their lands and things like that.

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

Some of that has to do with indigenous sovereignty and things like in the Ecuadorian Amazon and places where it's like when the local people have power, suddenly they can protect their land from illegal logging, illegal mining, things like that.

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

And so then you wind up having this knockoff like environmental benefit that's like also great in addition to the human aspect where you're like, well, these people are living better lives and to help save the planet.
