The Climb Out of Pain is Taller Than Everest
with National Geographic photographer Cory Richards (PART 2)

*Please note: At 9:37, 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.

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.

Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
