117. Facing Chadd Wright's Rite of Passage w/Barry Karch

How do you define "failure"? 

How do you define "success"? 

When you set out to achieve a goal, are you only successful if you complete the mission? Or, is there a level of success from pushing yourself beyond your perceived capabilities regardless of the outcome? 

These are the questions that my guest, Barry Karch, has wrestled with since facing Chadd Wright's Rite of Passage. 24 hours of nonstop movement in the hills of rural Georgia. No sitting. No lying down. Just walk. eat. drink. repeat... 

Barry is a 2-time guest of the show and you can listen to our 1st episode where he shared about his desire to defy father time by doing hard things in his 60s: Barry's 1st episode

In this episode Barry shares about his experience, and we explore topics like: 

• The concept of Misogi to step into challenging adventures
• Getting around high performing individuals that will push you to the next level
• Preparing your body and mind for endurance events 
• The benefit of creating opportunities for adversity and pain in your life
• Forging relationships through shared suffering 
• How being a person who intentionally does hard things impacts your relationships 
• Being disappointed with an outcome, while still content with your effort 
• How to learn, grow, and do better next time! 

I had a great time talking with Barry and I know this conversation will inspire and encourage you no matter where you're at on your own Uncommon journey. Be sure to check out Barry's podcast here: Running for Your Life
