Episode 128- Ari in the Air and the philosophy of flight


In this entertaining and thought-provoking podcast with Ari Delashmutt, a big mountain skier, world-record highliner, paraglider, film maker, and pursuer of the absurd we take on what is sometimes the hardest question of all. Why? Why do we pursue activities that can quite easily go wrong and kill us? As Will Gadd often says, it’s the question we all need to have an answer for and the answer often changes over time. “Truthfulness is a muscle we have to flex.” Let’s flex the muscle we often neglect. Enjoy, ponder, discuss and send your comments. I think you’re going to dig this one.
Ari has his own podcast which you can enjoy here.
