You picture someone gritting their teeth, pushing through, holding on tight. Someone who climbs mountains without oxygen, survives avalanches, makes it to magazine covers. This week’s guest, Cory Richards, did all of that. He isn’t just a world-renowned climber and National Geographic photographer, he’s someone who has been to the edge, and then even further inward. From becoming the first American to summit an 8,000m peak in winter, to childhood trauma, being institutionalised at 14, homelessness at 15, battling bipolar disorder, addiction, sexual exploration that blurred consent, and suicidal ideation, his story is a mirror to everything we hide, deny, and eventually must face. But what he discovered is that none of that was resilience at all. It was survival. We explore: – What surviving an avalanche teaches you about control, surrender, and mortality – How bipolar II and trauma shaped his mind and nearly took his life – Why sex became a substitute for safety, and what real intimacy requires – The complicated truth of masculinity, shame, and public accountability – Why survival isn’t the same as resilience and why real resilience starts with letting go – How self-sourced love, community, and curiosity are changing the way he lives This episode isn't a story of conquering mountains. It's a story of learning to be human. It's about the difference between being famous for your achievements and being known for your humanity.
