Skiing off 220ft cliffs & how to truly master fear - Julian Carr

Julian Carr is an extreme ski athlete. At a young age he realized something magical: Fresh, soft powder snow acts like a foam pit or a lot of pillows allowing for big jumps and soft landings. And that's what he did. He started to jump very big cliffs. He won countless awards, won a gold medal at the X-Games and eventually went on to hold a world record for jumping off a 220ft cliff (about 70m) inverted. But the path to get there was long, hard, painful and mostly, very very scary. But he learned that fear actually helped him and he needs to master his own fear in order to achieve his goals and survive the jumps. Today Julian is our guest and we talked about how he got into extreme skiing, why he jumps off cliffs and how he realized he can master his own fear.  Read more about Julian on worldexplorerscollective.com Find his Instagram account can be found at @juliancarr or visit his website.
