Gabriel had every reason on the planet to legitimately not show up to this years Death Hike. Yet, his first question to his doctor after a finding in his health was "Am I still going to be able to make this hike?"

We talked ABOUT the hike, but we also talk about the importance of not sitting on things in your health you need to handle and what it means to go all-in on a commitment you make.

Nicholas Gilbert joins me this week to talk through his own personal journey. From running track for University of Oregon in college to getting busy with a family, he found himself in the same spot most of us do- unhappy with our health, but not 100% sure what to do about it.

2024 was a year of redemption for Nicholas. Not only did he solve for the questions about his health, he went back to the mountains of Alaska and redeemed a lifelong dream of taking a Dall Ram with his bow.
