Mitch Hutchcraft rowed the Atlantic, climbed Everest from England and wrote Limitless. He lost his dad at twenty and chose to carry him rather than bury him. This is a conversation about grief, anxiety, trust and getting through the next twenty minutes.
What's inside: why he wanted Everest from the age of six; the year he didn't cry and the night it all came out; grief as the log that keeps you warm; proportionality (your first mile is your Everest); the twenty-minute rule that got him across the planet; the limitless loop (action builds belief, belief fuels action); anxiety, acceptance and asking for help; building a small team you can lean on; trusting too easily, and learning to respond rather than react; the Pacific row and the men's mental health initiative behind it; writing Limitless.
