#88 Mark Pollock – Building an Unbreakable Mind

Mark Pollock is an international motivational speaker, explorer, and author who became the first blind man to race to the South Pole. Unbroken by blindness in 1998, Mark became an adventure athlete competing in ultra-endurance races across deserts, mountains, and the polar ice caps. In 2010, a fall from a second-story window nearly killed him. Now he is on a new expedition, this time to cure paralysis in our lifetime by exploring the intersection where humans and technology collide. ⏺️ Voics: https://www.voics.co/🎙️ Podcast University: https://bit.ly/3Dqip2S🎤 Podcast Accelerator: https://bit.ly/3f1ir81📞 Schedule Free Call: https://bit.ly/3GsNyTU(00:00) Partnership: KS Media (01:48) Introduction(04:06) The early days of Mark Pollock going blind  (09:05) How did it feel when you lost your sight initially?    (14:18) What was the biggest driver in bouncing back?   (17:09) How important is your identity in recovery?  (23:21) Taking time to think, gratitude & appreciation  (27:07) How Mark Pollock started adventure races  (28:45) What were the challenges in endurance events?  (32:30) How do you approach endurance events mentally?
