Today’s episode is a compilation exploring how the brain responds under extreme pressure. Guests include Laird Hamilton, who has faced some of the largest waves on the planet; Tommy Caldwell, a professional rock climber who survived being held captive in Kyrgyzstan; and Dr. Nicholas Wright, a neuroscientist studying stress, fear, and resilience. Together, they share firsthand experiences of life-or-death situations, strategies for managing fear, and insights into how trauma and extreme stress affect decision-making.
