And this is before I'd ever heard of Wim Hof.

And he swam one kilometer at the geographic North Pole to raise awareness for global warming.

Because normally it's covered in meters of ice, but because of global warming, it's thawing.

And so I interviewed him and his coach because writing this book about inter excellence and how do you achieve great things and have that peace and confidence under pressure.

And that was life threatening.

Most people said it was impossible, physically impossible.

The water was below freezing.

If you can believe that, you might think, well, he'd be swimming in ice.

Well, there was ice all around him, but because of saltwater, the water temperature was below 32 degrees.

And yeah, so what he had to do or his coach said, there's no way you're going to make it if you're thinking about one kilometer.

We've got to break it down into smaller chunks.

And this is so crucial.

When we want to make changes in our life or want to attempt anything, so often the first step is too big.

And so we just got to make the first step smaller and smaller until we can do it.

And so he had similar to your story.

was they put up a flag every 100 meters of people on his team from different countries.

And he said, just focus on this 100 meters.

You can't think past it.

And that got him to the end.

But also he had a purpose beyond himself that he was willing to die for.
