In this episode, Jake and Damian sit down with Alex to delve into the concept of mastery and what it means to truly excel at something. Alex shares his thoughts on the conditions required to achieve flow, a state of optimal performance and total immersion.


Alex recounts his personal experiences of reaching flow state during some of his most extreme climbs, discussing how the difficulty of a task can push us into an autopilot mode where performance feels almost effortless.


This episode offers a profound look into the mindset of one of the world's greatest climbers, revealing how he continues to set and achieve his goals.
