Wow.

It's this moment where I just laugh now.

I love this quote.

You've probably heard it, but it's a Henry Ford quote.

He who says he can and he who says he can't are usually both right.

One of the ones I've lived by.

And this is a moment of like, you know, A, I know better than to not listen to my wife because she's a badass and she's amazing and knows when to push me.

But I'm like, all right, maybe we can pull this off.

And sure enough, 100 hours after standing on the summit of Everest, I'm on the other side of the world at the base of Denali, three days battling this insane storm.

But on May 27th, 2016, make it up to the summit of Denali and in this case, set not one world record, but two world records.

Wow, man.

Finishing this project.

Yeah, 100 hours after being on the summit of Everest, I got to the base of Denali, and then Denali usually takes three weeks itself to climb, best case scenario, and only about 30 or 40% of people attempting it even make the summit, and I managed to get to the summit in three days, battling this ridiculous storm there as well.

Like I said, it was come straight down from Everest, not sleep a night, go all the way back down to base camp through the other four camps.

There's a helicopter waiting there that took me to Kathmandu, fly to the other side of the world via a bunch of stops.

Jenna's there in Anchorage to pick me up and drive me to the base of the national park.

But in Denali, a bush plane has to fly you into the base of the mountain.

It's a whole like the logistics, like not like I said, Jenna is a mastermind, not just of pushing my body, knowing my mindset, knowing how to support and love me and be compassionate running a nonprofit, but logistics.

We're talking about nine locations, seven continents, red tape, all this sort of stuff.

It was an incredible project for us to cut our teeth on.
