Episode Details
Back to EpisodesSolving problems when the ground beneath you is uncertain
Description
This episode was recorded as a voice memo while climbing an unclimbed mountain—hundreds of feet above the ground, in a situation where the next move isn't always clear.
Climbing is a different kind of problem.
There's no full plan.
No guaranteed path.
No separation between thinking and consequence.
In this episode, I reflect on:
- How decisions are made when information is incomplete
- What changes when the cost of being wrong is immediate
- Why progress often comes from committing without full certainty
This isn't just about climbing.
It's about what problem-solving looks like when the path isn't defined—and you have to move anyway
In this voice memo episode—recorded hundreds of feet in the air while climbing an unclimbed mountain—I share insights on how success is built through strategy, perseverance, and learning from setbacks. It's about solving problems when the ground beneath you is uncertain, and what it takes to succeed when the path is unclear, the odds are against you and failure feels inevitable.
