Ep. 74: Iceman Wim Hof: How You, Too, Can Become SuperHuman

Today, we have a very special guest, and someone many of you have requested. It's not everyday that we have someone on the show that exhibits actual "superhuman" skills in the traditional sense of the word, but that's exactly what our guest today has been able to prove. Better known as "The Iceman," my guest today is none other than Wim Hof. He holds no less than 20 world records, ranging from the world's longest ice bath, to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and 6.7 kilometers of Mount Everest wearing nothing but shorts and shoes, to resisting an injection of rattlesnake venom, running a marathon in the desert without water, and much much more. What's most interesting is that he has been able to successfully teach others to do these amazing feats, using simply the power of yoga and breathing techniques. You'll tell straight away that his passion, energy, and enthusiasm far outweigh my ability to lead the conversation, and so you won't hear too much of me speaking this episode - but I don't think you'll mind one bit. Throughout the episode, I tried to better understand how his special abilities came to be, how he has managed to defy logic (and science) time and time again, and how you, too, can learn to achieve such superhuman feats.
