Over these journeys, he has had to make life or death decisions and maintain physical and mental focus that some of us could only dream of.The episode breaks down what his experiences can tell us about staying effective under pressure, what makes him different and how the hell he got to the desert in the first place. Pushing himself to the absolute limit.Enjoy.
