*Please note: At 9:01, Simon and Cory have a discussion about suicide.
What happens after we attain success and glory? Where do you go when there's nowhere left to run from yourself?
In Part 2 of my conversation with Cory Richards, Cory explains why reaching the summit of Everest marked the beginning of a long, painful fall from grace.
After his tumultuous decision to retire from climbing, Cory found himself lost and confused about his true identity. At the same time, he was forced to grapple with multiple life-shattering events at once -- some of his own making.
In this episode, we discuss the difference between identity and purpose, the skills Cory learned to cope with multiple tragedies, and why the more we ignore life’s harshest lessons, the louder they become.
Listen to Part 1 here or watch it on YouTube.
This…is A Bit of Optimism.
