# The caterer who traded fear for love

Mary Crafts and her then-husband Ron [started Culinary Crafts in 1984](https://culinarycrafts.com/our-history/?ref=ceo.com) out of their own kitchen with two toddlers, $600, and no catering experience. Their son Ryan, who now helps run the company, has [described the circumstances](https://culinarycrafts.com/lessons-we-learned-from-our-mother-mary-crafts/?ref=ceo.com) plainly: his parents were unemployed, the car had been repossessed, and the house was in foreclosure. The boys pulled a red wagon through the neighborhood selling bread and cookies door to door.

By 1995 the company cleared a million dollars. By 1996, it had a Salt Lake City office and was talking to the International Olympic Committee about the 2002 Games, which led to contracts with the IOC, Sports Illustrated, American Express, and dozens of Fortune 500 companies. KBYU gave Crafts a cooking show in 1994 called "Culinary Creations." It ran two seasons and then aired in reruns for 20 years. Her [biography as a trustee of Mountainland Technical College](https://mtec.edu/mary-crafts/?ref=ceo.com) adds two U.S. presidents, Oprah Winfrey, and Sir Elton John to the client list. Catersource gave her its [Michael Roman Lifetime Achievement Award](https://www.cater-event.com/food-professionals/the-master-of-her-craft?ref=ceo.com) in 2024\. In 2026, MountainWest Capital Network named her its [Entrepreneur of the Year](https://www.mwcn.org/2026/02/12/mountainwest-capital-network-names-mary-crafts-2026-entrepreneur-of-the-year/?ref=ceo.com).

Twenty years into that run, on her 50th birthday, she got a stack of photographs back from the party, sat in a Kmart parking lot, and wept.

"This isn't who I thought I would be at age 50," Crafts said on the CEO.com Podcast. "Everything I do is because I'm afraid, and it's showing now. I must have laid down so many layers to protect me from all the things I was afraid of."

She is unusually direct about what had been running the company, and it is not the answer founders usually give.

"You know why I was a great caterer? Because I was afraid of failing. I was afraid of letting someone down. I was afraid of not getting paid for a gig, and how would I financially survive that."

The wagon, too. From outside, it looks like nerve: a woman with two small boys going door to door rather than take welfare. She rejects that reading of her own origin story. "I didn't do it out of love for my family," she said. "I did it out of fear that I was going to fail." Crafts has a reputation around Utah as a relentless networker, and she says that well into her 50s she would drive to chamber events and circle the block until she could make herself park. Sometimes she went in. Sometimes she drove home.

What changed was a Post-it note on the bathroom mirror. One line: What would you do today if you were no longer afraid? She read it every morning and answered it. She had lived in the shadow of Mount Timpanogos for decades without climbing it. She set out one September morning, found snow on top, lost the trail, and turned around a few steps up the final chimney. She told the mountain she would be back, and the next year she was.

Then she picked Kilimanjaro. She trained for six months, did Machu Picchu first to see how she handled 14,000 feet, and in 2019, at 65, flew alone to Tanzania with a 55-pound pack to meet eight climbers she knew only from the internet. They had done Denali and Rainier. Some had done Everest. When she offered Machu Picchu, one of them said, oh, that walk up the mountain. She mentioned Timpanogos, and they had not heard of it. She had brought a recorder to document the trip and threw it off the mountain on the fourth day because she was tired of listening to herself complain.

The summit push runs 14 hours. The team sent up the lead guide, a Tanzanian man she calls Big John, to walk with her at the back. He gave her three rules. Eat and drink whether you feel like it or not. Never rest more than five minutes, because the sweat on your body freezes when you stop and hypothermia ends the climb. Step exactly where I step.

She did not step where he stepped. He was six foot four, and she could not make the reach, so she went around, and he heard her footfall change, turned, and caught her arm before she went off the edge.

"I've been up this mountain 166 times," he told her. "I know the way. You have to trust me."

Her feet went numb, and she kept saying so, and finally he asked if she wanted toe warmers. Her fingers were too frozen to work the gaiters through four pairs of gloves. He knelt down in front of her in the dark and took her boots apart, layer by layer, socks that had been on her feet for days, and worked the warmers in. She asked him if he had a mother. He said yes; she was 63\. She asked if he thought about her out here. He said no. She asked why not.

"Because she couldn't do this. You've got grit."

By the time he looked at his watch, they had been stopped for 20 minutes, and she was shaking too hard to take a step. He took off his own parka, wrapped her in it, and put his gloves on over hers; the heat from the coat melted the ice that had formed on her, and they climbed the rest of it without stopping. She summited eight days short of her 66th birthday, about 15 minutes behind the team. She got to the sign and could not stand, so she hung onto it with her head down.

The night before she left, her granddaughter Breena, then nine, had listened to the whole list of things her grandmother was afraid of and asked why she was going at all. Crafts told her she was going to shout the grandchildren's names off the top of Africa so the world would know they had the same blood in them. The first thing Breena asked when she got home was whether she had done it.

"I sure did," Crafts said. "And the world is waiting to see what you do."

The argument she brought back to the company is that fear cannot just be subtracted. Something has to go in its place. She kept catering the same way, she says, and the motivation underneath it was different, and clients and crew could feel the difference. She dates the clearest version of it to an event her team ran for a delegation scouting Salt Lake City for a convention, where the chefs plated at the tables and walked guests through every ingredient. One guest told her afterward that he had eaten all over the world and that a year from now he would not remember what was on the plate.

"But I will never forget how I felt."

Crafts has taught marketing, sales, and knife skills at Catersource over the years. The last time she taught there, she taught one thing: how to release fear. She says it cannot come up through an org chart, that the executive has to do the work first, and that people can smell the other kind of energy on a leader immediately. "A love-based energy doesn't manipulate people into performing," she said. "It invites them to come into your space."

She retired in August 2018 and handed Culinary Crafts to her children, with Ryan and Kaleb taking ownership and Meagan working alongside them. She wrote [*Unbounded: From Sorrow to Summit*](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63124812-unbounded?ref=ceo.com), published in October 2022, as a how-to rather than a memoir. Her podcast, [Crafting a Meaningful Life](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crafting-a-meaningful-life-with-mary-crafts/id1336191892?ref=ceo.com), ran for eight years and 413 episodes before she ended it in April 2026\. People told her for years she would never be able to walk away from the company.

"Clearly those are people who didn't know how much hard work it was," she said. "I always said, just watch me. And when the time came, I did. I signed those papers, and I never looked back."

It<00:11:21.538> was<00:11:21.699> still<00:11:22.020> fear<00:11:23.529> that<00:11:23.625> I<00:11:23.690> was—<00:11:24.332> I<00:11:24.348> was,<00:11:24.894> you<00:11:24.990> know<00:11:25.135> why<00:11:25.215> I<00:11:25.311> was<00:11:25.472> a<00:11:25.536> great<00:11:25.793> caterer?

00:11:26.275 --> 00:11:28.779
Because<00:11:27.222> I<00:11:27.238> was<00:11:27.334> afraid<00:11:28.121> of<00:11:28.362> failing.

00:11:29.309 --> 00:11:31.043
I<00:11:29.390> was<00:11:29.502> afraid<00:11:30.032> of<00:11:30.192> letting<00:11:30.449> someone<00:11:30.851> down.

00:11:31.397 --> 00:11:36.358
I<00:11:31.477> was<00:11:31.638> afraid<00:11:32.151> of<00:11:32.360> not<00:11:32.537> getting<00:11:33.002> paid<00:11:33.340> for<00:11:33.500> a<00:11:33.645> gig<00:11:34.223> and<00:11:34.367> how<00:11:34.544> would<00:11:34.704> I<00:11:34.865> financially<00:11:35.587> survive<00:11:36.149> that.

00:11:36.792 --> 00:11:38.799
And<00:11:36.936> I<00:11:37.017> was<00:11:37.193> afraid<00:11:37.755> of<00:11:37.835> disappointing<00:11:38.413> somebody.

00:11:40.444 --> 00:11:42.191
It's<00:11:41.075> how<00:11:41.156> I<00:11:41.333> live<00:11:41.576> my<00:11:41.819> life.

00:11:42.790 --> 00:11:50.138
And<00:11:42.935> the<00:11:43.097> tension<00:11:43.663> that<00:11:43.825> you<00:11:44.068> feel<00:11:44.472> inside<00:11:45.055> your<00:11:45.216> soul<00:11:46.187> when<00:11:46.349> you<00:11:46.575> live<00:11:46.915> this<00:11:47.222> life<00:11:47.578> of<00:11:47.805> fear<00:11:48.048> is,<00:11:48.436> it's<00:11:48.759> kind<00:11:49.326> of<00:11:49.423> indescribable.

00:11:51.373 --> 00:11:57.003
But<00:11:51.617> I<00:11:51.698> think<00:11:52.088> people<00:11:52.413> experience<00:11:52.998> that<00:11:53.242> and<00:11:53.323> they<00:11:53.486> think<00:11:53.648> it's<00:11:53.827> normal,<00:11:56.258> but<00:11:56.355> it's<00:11:56.517> not<00:11:56.825> normal.

00:11:58.832 --> 00:12:11.692
And<00:11:59.480> at<00:11:59.593> age<00:11:59.901> 50,<00:12:00.451> when<00:12:00.694> I<00:12:01.099> looked<00:12:01.358> at<00:12:01.504> those<00:12:01.763> pictures<00:12:02.168> from<00:12:02.313> my<00:12:02.556> 50th<00:12:03.058> birthday<00:12:03.447> party,<00:12:04.504> and<00:12:05.171> there<00:12:05.334> I<00:12:05.562> was,<00:12:05.985> 284<00:12:07.351> pounds<00:12:08.083> and<00:12:09.456> 46,<00:12:09.875> nearly<00:12:10.196> 46%<00:12:11.081> body<00:12:11.387> fat.

00:12:11.741 --> 00:12:16.920
And,<00:12:12.754> and<00:12:12.995> I<00:12:13.172> just<00:12:13.639> wept,<00:12:14.202> and<00:12:14.298> I<00:12:14.459> thought,<00:12:14.765> this<00:12:14.877> isn't<00:12:15.167> who<00:12:15.328> I<00:12:15.424> thought<00:12:15.730> I<00:12:15.826> would<00:12:15.987> be<00:12:16.164> at<00:12:16.293> age<00:12:16.534> 50.

00:12:18.400 --> 00:12:24.142
Everything<00:12:18.803> I<00:12:19.045> do<00:12:19.369> is,<00:12:19.709> is<00:12:19.838> because<00:12:20.032> I'm<00:12:20.194> afraid,<00:12:22.427> and<00:12:23.187> it's<00:12:23.333> showing<00:12:23.964> now.

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:31.449
I've<00:12:26.245> laid<00:12:26.633> down<00:12:26.811> so<00:12:27.118> many<00:12:27.377> layers<00:12:28.292> to<00:12:28.424> protect<00:12:29.081> me<00:12:29.920> from<00:12:30.150> all<00:12:30.314> the<00:12:30.413> things<00:12:30.807> I<00:12:30.890> was<00:12:31.054> afraid<00:12:31.416> of.

00:12:33.674 --> 00:12:35.727
And<00:12:34.171> for<00:12:34.237> me,<00:12:34.436> it<00:12:34.601> was<00:12:34.750> a<00:12:34.833> do-or-die<00:12:35.346> moment.

00:12:35.910 --> 00:12:40.922
Sitting<00:12:36.247> in<00:12:36.343> that<00:12:36.440> Kmart<00:12:37.147> parking<00:12:37.532> lot<00:12:37.853> looking<00:12:38.110> at<00:12:38.255> the<00:12:38.351> photos<00:12:38.817> I'd<00:12:38.978> just<00:12:39.155> gotten<00:12:39.540> back<00:12:39.797> from<00:12:40.038> my<00:12:40.199> birthday<00:12:40.665> party.

00:12:41.307 --> 00:12:42.946
That's<00:12:41.629> before<00:12:41.870> we<00:12:41.966> had<00:12:42.352> cell<00:12:42.464> phones.

00:12:44.119 --> 00:12:49.244
And<00:12:45.661> it<00:12:45.741> was<00:12:45.982> transformational<00:12:47.187> for<00:12:47.348> me<00:12:47.653> as<00:12:47.830> I<00:12:47.910> really<00:12:48.231> looked<00:12:48.456> at<00:12:48.553> those<00:12:48.794> photos.

00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:51.557
And<00:12:49.758> I<00:12:49.902> didn't<00:12:50.063> know<00:12:50.223> how<00:12:50.481> quite<00:12:50.802> how<00:12:50.962> I<00:12:51.123> got<00:12:51.428> there.

00:12:52.071 --> 00:12:57.630
I<00:12:52.167> didn't<00:12:52.473> quite<00:12:52.810> know<00:12:52.971> how<00:12:53.115> I<00:12:53.276> was<00:12:53.453> going<00:12:53.597> to<00:12:53.677> get<00:12:53.838> away,<00:12:55.300> but<00:12:55.525> I<00:12:55.702> knew<00:12:56.087> I<00:12:56.168> had<00:12:56.344> to<00:12:56.409> start<00:12:56.730> the<00:12:56.891> first<00:12:57.131> steps.

00:12:58.738 --> 00:13:02.899
And<00:12:58.834> so<00:12:59.381> I<00:12:59.477> began<00:12:59.879> to<00:12:59.959> kind<00:13:00.120> of<00:13:00.345> look<00:13:00.682> at<00:13:00.987> the<00:13:01.083> different<00:13:01.469> things<00:13:01.790> I<00:13:01.967> really<00:13:02.208> was<00:13:02.449> afraid<00:13:02.851> of.

00:13:10.698 --> 00:13:30.531

00:13:31.494 --> 00:13:34.695
Until<00:13:32.706> I<00:13:32.787> got<00:13:33.014> the<00:13:33.111> courage<00:13:33.757> to<00:13:33.919> park<00:13:34.243> and<00:13:34.323> go<00:13:34.485> in.

00:13:36.410 --> 00:13:40.064
I<00:13:36.426> was<00:13:36.587> so<00:13:36.733> afraid<00:13:37.008> I<00:13:37.040> was<00:13:37.234> going<00:13:37.347> to<00:13:37.477> walk<00:13:37.800> in<00:13:37.881> there,<00:13:38.043> I<00:13:38.188> wouldn't<00:13:38.447> know<00:13:38.673> anybody,<00:13:39.159> nobody<00:13:39.482> would<00:13:39.644> know<00:13:39.805> me.

00:13:40.307 --> 00:13:43.907
Maybe<00:13:40.549> they<00:13:40.695> were<00:13:40.856> all<00:13:41.050> dressed<00:13:41.454> in<00:13:41.663> dresses<00:13:42.632> and<00:13:42.809> I<00:13:42.971> had<00:13:43.277> pants<00:13:43.762> on.

00:13:44.988 --> 00:13:47.103
Maybe<00:13:45.230> people<00:13:45.456> would<00:13:45.715> laugh<00:13:45.973> at<00:13:46.102> me<00:13:46.215> and<00:13:46.279> say,<00:13:46.522> who<00:13:46.764> is<00:13:46.844> she?

00:13:56.732 --> 00:14:00.532
Sometimes<00:13:57.282> I<00:13:57.362> would<00:13:57.524> park<00:13:57.864> and<00:13:57.945> go<00:13:58.252> in,<00:13:58.753> and<00:13:58.834> sometimes<00:14:00.030> I<00:14:00.127> just<00:14:00.289> go<00:14:00.435> home.

And<00:14:05.318> so<00:14:05.609> I<00:14:05.706> began<00:14:06.110> to<00:14:06.240> start<00:14:06.996> with<00:14:07.222> a<00:14:07.302> little<00:14:07.544> Post-it<00:14:07.962> note.

00:14:09.492 --> 00:14:09.894
That's<00:14:09.733> all.

00:14:24.009 --> 00:14:26.682
I<00:14:24.202> know<00:14:24.605> that<00:14:24.750> what<00:14:24.975> I<00:14:25.088> need<00:14:25.957> is<00:14:26.118> inside<00:14:26.585> me.

00:14:27.486 --> 00:14:29.998
It's<00:14:27.631> just<00:14:27.825> a<00:14:27.873> matter<00:14:28.114> of<00:14:28.195> discovering<00:14:28.855> it<00:14:29.257> and<00:14:29.402> the<00:14:29.499> lessons.

00:14:31.012 --> 00:14:32.670
I<00:14:31.028> allow<00:14:31.286> me<00:14:31.672> to<00:14:31.898> teach<00:14:32.461> me.

00:14:35.138 --> 00:14:46.467
And<00:14:35.364> because<00:14:35.589> I<00:14:35.670> kind<00:14:35.847> of<00:14:35.928> believe<00:14:36.314> we,<00:14:36.733> we<00:14:37.619> came<00:14:37.860> with<00:14:38.086> all<00:14:38.182> the<00:14:38.263> answers<00:14:38.746> we<00:14:38.843> need,<00:14:40.180> and<00:14:40.663> we<00:14:40.824> just<00:14:41.082> now<00:14:41.307> have<00:14:41.484> to<00:14:42.048> get<00:14:42.209> to<00:14:42.306> know<00:14:42.612> them<00:14:43.481> and<00:14:43.562> to<00:14:43.659> discover<00:14:44.240> ourselves<00:14:45.020> and<00:14:45.117> spend<00:14:45.443> time<00:14:45.768> with<00:14:45.946> ourselves.

00:14:47.475 --> 00:14:50.368
People<00:14:47.783> ask<00:14:48.027> me,<00:14:48.125> what's<00:14:48.369> the<00:14:48.450> difference<00:14:48.710> between<00:14:49.247> prayer<00:14:49.750> and<00:14:49.897> meditation?

00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:56.979
Well,<00:14:51.253> prayer<00:14:51.493> is<00:14:51.654> when<00:14:51.798> you're—<00:14:52.119> all<00:14:52.199> you<00:14:52.359> think<00:14:52.472> you<00:14:52.552> do<00:14:52.712> is,<00:14:53.194> is<00:14:53.482> asking,<00:14:53.883> give<00:14:54.044> me,<00:14:54.204> give<00:14:54.284> me,<00:14:54.461> give<00:14:54.557> me,<00:14:54.702> give<00:14:54.814> me,<00:14:55.022> give<00:14:55.167> me,<00:14:55.584> help<00:14:55.744> me<00:14:55.824> with<00:14:55.985> this,<00:14:56.306> do<00:14:56.466> this,<00:14:56.691> do<00:14:56.787> this.

00:14:57.589 --> 00:15:06.749
And<00:14:57.749> meditation<00:14:58.648> is<00:14:58.792> when<00:14:58.937> you<00:14:59.033> get<00:14:59.177> to<00:14:59.273> stop<00:15:00.557> and<00:15:00.701> listen<00:15:01.840> and<00:15:01.936> listen<00:15:02.241> back<00:15:03.845> of<00:15:03.925> what's<00:15:04.150> being<00:15:04.326> said<00:15:04.968> and<00:15:05.113> what's<00:15:05.289> being<00:15:05.514> advised<00:15:06.091> and<00:15:06.251> given<00:15:06.556> to<00:15:06.717> you.

00:15:07.615 --> 00:15:11.930
And<00:15:08.096> we<00:15:08.176> oftentimes<00:15:08.658> don't<00:15:08.898> do<00:15:09.043> that<00:15:09.203> in<00:15:09.299> prayer,<00:15:10.101> but<00:15:10.246> I<00:15:10.342> do<00:15:10.486> it<00:15:10.647> every<00:15:10.823> day<00:15:11.289> in<00:15:11.385> meditation.

00:15:13.326 --> 00:15:23.888
So<00:15:13.711> as<00:15:13.871> I<00:15:13.935> began<00:15:14.352> that<00:15:14.577> step,<00:15:14.914> I<00:15:15.074> put<00:15:15.235> that<00:15:15.475> Post-it<00:15:15.957> note<00:15:16.342> on<00:15:16.438> my<00:15:16.598> bathroom<00:15:17.384> mirror<00:15:18.431> And<00:15:18.528> this<00:15:18.691> is<00:15:18.837> all<00:15:18.869> it<00:15:18.999> said:<00:15:20.948> What<00:15:21.111> would<00:15:21.273> you<00:15:21.371> do<00:15:21.598> today<00:15:22.670> if<00:15:22.816> you<00:15:22.914> were<00:15:23.011> no<00:15:23.222> longer<00:15:23.563> afraid?

00:15:26.007 --> 00:15:28.466
And<00:15:26.184> every<00:15:26.425> day<00:15:26.666> I<00:15:26.682> would<00:15:26.891> look<00:15:27.003> at<00:15:27.148> that<00:15:27.357> and<00:15:27.453> I'd<00:15:27.630> think<00:15:27.935> through<00:15:28.032> my<00:15:28.273> day.

00:15:29.157 --> 00:15:38.049
And<00:15:29.237> if<00:15:29.382> I<00:15:29.478> had<00:15:29.703> one<00:15:29.815> of<00:15:29.864> those<00:15:30.040> networking<00:15:30.603> events,<00:15:31.085> I'd<00:15:31.246> say,<00:15:32.354> you<00:15:32.595> just<00:15:32.853> park<00:15:33.319> and<00:15:33.399> you<00:15:33.656> go<00:15:34.042> in<00:15:34.443> and<00:15:34.685> you<00:15:35.022> walk<00:15:35.409> up<00:15:35.521> to<00:15:35.650> somebody<00:15:36.616> and<00:15:36.713> you'd<00:15:36.890> start<00:15:37.180> a<00:15:37.260> conversation.

00:15:38.710 --> 00:15:40.497
You<00:15:38.790> wouldn't<00:15:38.951> have<00:15:39.128> to<00:15:39.273> wait<00:15:39.450> for<00:15:39.595> them<00:15:39.692> to<00:15:39.853> talk<00:15:40.111> to<00:15:40.239> you.

00:15:40.803 --> 00:15:42.188
You<00:15:40.900> could<00:15:41.045> ask<00:15:41.222> them<00:15:41.399> if<00:15:41.608> they<00:15:41.785> were<00:15:41.882> new.

00:15:42.429 --> 00:15:43.251
This<00:15:42.526> is<00:15:42.590> the<00:15:42.751> first<00:15:42.993> time.

Hi,<00:15:43.476> do<00:15:43.621> I—<00:15:43.959> where<00:15:44.023> do<00:15:44.120> I<00:15:44.265> get<00:15:44.364> those<00:15:44.626> name<00:15:44.958> tags?

00:15:45.937 --> 00:15:48.845
You<00:15:46.098> could<00:15:46.274> introduce<00:15:46.981> who<00:15:47.142> you<00:15:47.238> are<00:15:47.399> and<00:15:47.624> ask<00:15:47.865> questions<00:15:48.298> about<00:15:48.620> them.

00:15:49.166 --> 00:15:51.287

And<00:15:52.218> it<00:15:52.363> just<00:15:52.540> seems<00:15:52.781> so<00:15:53.166> clear<00:15:53.664> to<00:15:53.809> me<00:15:55.014> once<00:15:55.431> I<00:15:55.576> let<00:15:55.753> go<00:15:55.913> of<00:15:56.010> the<00:15:56.090> fear.

00:17:03.717 --> 00:17:04.575
I<00:17:03.814> lost<00:17:04.138> the<00:17:04.219> trail.

00:17:04.850 --> 00:17:05.950
I<00:17:04.947> couldn't<00:17:05.173> find<00:17:05.497> my<00:17:05.675> way.

00:17:07.196 --> 00:17:08.799
I<00:17:07.682> finally<00:17:08.022> got<00:17:08.265> to<00:17:08.345> the<00:17:08.426> saddle.

00:17:09.827 --> 00:17:21.075
There<00:17:09.972> was<00:17:10.215> no<00:17:11.023> path,<00:17:11.686> and<00:17:11.783> I<00:17:11.945> took<00:17:12.479> 2<00:17:12.640> or<00:17:12.673> 3<00:17:12.818> steps<00:17:13.449> up<00:17:13.691> that<00:17:13.950> final<00:17:14.419> chimney,<00:17:15.470> I<00:17:15.567> knew<00:17:16.133> that<00:17:16.279> there's<00:17:16.473> a<00:17:16.602> difference<00:17:16.926> between<00:17:18.553> being—<00:17:19.285> having<00:17:19.546> courage<00:17:20.034> and<00:17:20.262> having<00:17:20.506> stupidity.

00:17:23.147 --> 00:17:30.857
So<00:17:23.308> I<00:17:23.340> turned<00:17:23.631> around<00:17:23.824> and<00:17:23.953> came<00:17:24.195> home,<00:17:25.002> but<00:17:25.486> I<00:17:25.647> turned<00:17:25.969> to<00:17:26.050> that<00:17:26.244> mountain<00:17:26.712> and<00:17:26.808> said,<00:17:27.583> I<00:17:27.825> will<00:17:28.083> be<00:17:28.244> back,<00:17:29.438> and<00:17:29.615> you<00:17:29.793> and<00:17:30.002> I<00:17:30.422> will<00:17:30.583> be<00:17:30.744> one.

00:17:32.339 --> 00:17:33.759
And<00:17:32.525> the<00:17:32.610> next<00:17:32.948> year<00:17:33.371> I<00:17:33.540> did.

00:17:34.959 --> 00:17:38.431
And<00:17:35.201> then<00:17:35.362> the<00:17:35.459> following<00:17:35.928> year<00:17:36.574> I<00:17:36.994> climbed<00:17:37.720> Kilimanjaro.

00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:50.420
And<00:17:40.159> if<00:17:40.304> someone<00:17:40.611> had<00:17:40.870> ever<00:17:41.112> told<00:17:41.500> me,<00:17:42.540> even<00:17:42.653> at<00:17:42.734> age<00:17:43.042> 60,<00:17:43.545> that<00:17:43.772> I<00:17:43.853> was<00:17:44.096> going<00:17:44.194> to<00:17:44.275> be<00:17:44.437> able<00:17:44.680> to<00:17:44.826> climb<00:17:45.166> that<00:17:45.896> and<00:17:46.123> do<00:17:46.302> that<00:17:46.545> and<00:17:46.642> succeed<00:17:47.518> and<00:17:47.615> summit,<00:17:49.285> I<00:17:49.383> probably<00:17:49.626> wouldn't<00:17:49.788> have<00:17:49.950> believed<00:17:50.339> them.

00:17:51.760 --> 00:17:58.323
But<00:17:51.876> by<00:17:52.042> releasing<00:17:52.625> that<00:17:52.808> fear,<00:17:54.833> that<00:17:55.075> little<00:17:55.317> Post-it<00:17:55.818> note<00:17:56.368> is<00:17:56.594> with<00:17:56.836> me<00:17:57.014> mentally<00:17:57.418> now<00:17:57.887> all<00:17:58.000> the<00:17:58.145> time.

00:17:59.293 --> 00:18:00.699
It's<00:17:59.422> how<00:17:59.519> I<00:17:59.600> got<00:17:59.664> on<00:17:59.778> this<00:18:00.004> podcast<00:18:00.472> this<00:18:00.553> morning.

00:18:05.506 --> 00:18:07.380
What<00:18:05.735> would<00:18:05.832> you<00:18:05.914> do<00:18:06.060> today<00:18:06.305> if<00:18:06.402> you<00:18:06.484> were<00:18:06.630> no<00:18:06.793> longer<00:18:07.054> afraid?

00:18:07.689 --> 00:18:09.742
Hmm,<00:18:08.357> I'd<00:18:08.439> talk<00:18:08.683> to<00:18:08.764> Clint.

00:18:12.127 --> 00:18:14.107
What<00:18:12.274> was<00:18:12.452> the<00:18:12.533> Kilimanjaro<00:18:13.409> experience<00:18:13.977> like?

00:18:17.084 --> 00:18:18.135
It's<00:18:17.246> still<00:18:17.489> with<00:18:17.666> me<00:18:17.828> every<00:18:18.054> day.

00:18:19.574 --> 00:18:22.565
Um,<00:18:20.399> I<00:18:20.544> trained<00:18:20.949> for<00:18:21.515> about<00:18:21.838> 6<00:18:22.242> months.

00:18:23.374 --> 00:18:26.814
I<00:18:23.471> did<00:18:23.649> a<00:18:23.697> hike<00:18:24.037> every<00:18:24.215> single<00:18:24.522> week,<00:18:25.806> a<00:18:26.066> long<00:18:26.391> hike.

00:18:26.862 --> 00:18:36.234
I<00:18:27.025> went<00:18:27.204> down<00:18:27.691> to<00:18:27.870> Machu<00:18:28.260> Picchu<00:18:28.748> and<00:18:28.894> climbed<00:18:29.235> that<00:18:29.398> because<00:18:29.577> it<00:18:29.642> goes<00:18:29.690> to<00:18:29.739> 14,000,<00:18:30.438> and<00:18:30.536> they<00:18:30.568> say<00:18:30.617> that's<00:18:30.698> the<00:18:30.731> brick<00:18:32.926> point<00:18:33.263> in<00:18:33.424> elevation<00:18:34.403> to<00:18:34.532> whether<00:18:34.708> or<00:18:34.788> not<00:18:35.093> you<00:18:35.174> can<00:18:35.334> go<00:18:35.511> all<00:18:35.672> the<00:18:35.752> way<00:18:36.057> up.

00:18:36.860 --> 00:18:44.952
Um,<00:18:38.000> Kilimanjaro's<00:18:39.043> at<00:18:39.188> 19,400,<00:18:40.408> and<00:18:40.553> that's<00:18:40.794> the<00:18:41.034> top<00:18:41.532> of<00:18:41.677> where<00:18:42.415> you<00:18:42.560> can<00:18:42.736> go,<00:18:44.005> uh,<00:18:44.165> without<00:18:44.503> oxygen.

00:18:45.466 --> 00:18:49.962
And<00:18:46.092> I<00:18:46.269> did<00:18:46.510> Machu<00:18:46.831> Picchu,<00:18:47.232> and<00:18:47.361> I<00:18:47.393> didn't<00:18:47.537> have<00:18:47.698> any<00:18:47.858> problems,<00:18:48.437> and<00:18:48.485> so<00:18:48.661> I<00:18:48.693> knew<00:18:48.918> I<00:18:49.079> could<00:18:49.239> make<00:18:49.416> it<00:18:49.560> that<00:18:49.801> way.

00:18:50.684 --> 00:18:57.910
But<00:18:50.845> still,<00:18:51.166> I<00:18:51.246> was—<00:18:52.274> that<00:18:52.611> when<00:18:52.772> I<00:18:52.852> got<00:18:52.997> on<00:18:53.109> the<00:18:53.157> airplane<00:18:53.655> by<00:18:53.815> myself<00:18:54.394> and<00:18:54.554> flew<00:18:54.923> over<00:18:55.036> there,<00:18:55.261> and<00:18:55.726> this—<00:18:55.839> it's<00:18:57.027> a<00:18:57.171> long<00:18:57.509> flight.

00:19:00.360 --> 00:19:06.151
Um,<00:19:00.730> and<00:19:00.810> I<00:19:00.907> first<00:19:01.148> went<00:19:01.309> into<00:19:01.615> Paris<00:19:02.113> and<00:19:02.194> then<00:19:02.419> on<00:19:02.580> down<00:19:03.481> to<00:19:03.625> Kilimanjaro,<00:19:05.009> I<00:19:05.073> had<00:19:05.266> a<00:19:05.314> lot<00:19:05.491> of<00:19:05.572> time<00:19:05.813> to<00:19:05.974> think.

00:19:07.406 --> 00:19:09.175
And<00:19:07.502> I<00:19:07.583> thought<00:19:07.727> about<00:19:07.985> all<00:19:08.049> the<00:19:08.146> things<00:19:08.532> I'd<00:19:08.693> left<00:19:08.934> behind.

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:16.394
I,<00:19:10.096> I<00:19:10.112> never—<00:19:10.661> I'd<00:19:10.822> never<00:19:11.065> been<00:19:11.307> on<00:19:11.468> a<00:19:11.710> trip<00:19:11.953> where<00:19:12.098> I<00:19:12.195> didn't<00:19:12.405> bring<00:19:12.583> my<00:19:12.744> makeup,<00:19:13.325> my<00:19:13.487> jewelry,<00:19:13.971> and<00:19:14.133> my<00:19:14.359> high<00:19:14.537> heels<00:19:15.005> and<00:19:15.651> all<00:19:15.683> my<00:19:15.893> clothes.

00:19:16.458 --> 00:19:24.526
And<00:19:17.686> I<00:19:17.831> did<00:19:17.993> have<00:19:18.170> a<00:19:18.300> 55-pound<00:19:20.120> backpack,<00:19:20.933> but<00:19:21.242> I<00:19:21.258> didn't<00:19:21.811> have<00:19:21.990> all<00:19:22.152> the<00:19:22.299> rest<00:19:22.575> of<00:19:22.965> the<00:19:23.111> paraphernalia<00:19:23.859> that<00:19:24.006> makes<00:19:24.266> me<00:19:24.363> me.

00:19:25.557 --> 00:19:26.615
And<00:19:25.958> I<00:19:26.118> was<00:19:26.294> alone.

00:19:27.481 --> 00:19:31.552
I<00:19:27.641> will<00:19:27.817> tell<00:19:28.122> you<00:19:28.282> that<00:19:28.394> it's<00:19:28.683> the<00:19:28.763> hardest<00:19:29.260> thing,<00:19:29.741> even<00:19:29.981> to<00:19:30.125> this<00:19:30.366> point,<00:19:31.023> that<00:19:31.103> I've<00:19:31.248> ever<00:19:31.408> done.

00:19:32.450 --> 00:19:32.562
Huh.

00:19:33.348 --> 00:19:41.315
I<00:19:33.508> knew<00:19:33.668> it<00:19:33.764> would<00:19:33.973> be<00:19:34.069> hard<00:19:34.470> physically,<00:19:35.896> but<00:19:36.073> I<00:19:36.153> had<00:19:36.473> no<00:19:36.858> idea<00:19:37.499> how<00:19:37.676> hard<00:19:38.157> emotionally<00:19:38.798> it<00:19:39.022> was<00:19:39.263> going<00:19:39.439> to<00:19:39.599> be<00:19:40.657> to<00:19:40.802> be<00:19:40.946> alone.

00:19:41.988 --> 00:19:44.392
Um,<00:19:42.709> I<00:19:42.805> had<00:19:43.110> 8<00:19:43.366> in<00:19:43.447> my<00:19:43.671> climbing<00:19:44.152> team.

00:19:44.488 --> 00:19:45.819
They<00:19:44.649> were<00:19:44.793> from<00:19:44.953> around<00:19:45.274> the<00:19:45.370> country.

00:19:46.252 --> 00:19:47.695
Most<00:19:46.508> of<00:19:46.572> them<00:19:46.733> had<00:19:46.877> climbed<00:19:47.278> together.

00:19:48.320 --> 00:19:48.945
I<00:19:48.416> was<00:19:48.576> alone.

00:19:49.762 --> 00:19:56.639
Uh,<00:19:50.019> most<00:19:50.275> of<00:19:50.339> them<00:19:50.564> helped<00:19:50.885> each<00:19:51.125> other<00:19:51.317> set<00:19:51.622> up<00:19:51.718> their<00:19:51.943> tents<00:19:52.664> and<00:19:52.888> get<00:19:53.049> their<00:19:53.289> things<00:19:53.529> ready<00:19:53.770> for<00:19:53.866> the<00:19:53.898> next<00:19:54.251> day,<00:19:54.812> and,<00:19:55.373> you<00:19:55.437> know,<00:19:55.870> this,<00:19:56.110> this<00:19:56.431> and<00:19:56.511> that.

00:19:56.997 --> 00:19:59.770
And<00:19:57.812> the<00:19:57.894> first<00:19:58.139> day<00:19:58.302> I<00:19:58.465> arrived<00:19:58.856> in<00:19:59.020> camp<00:19:59.264> with<00:19:59.509> all<00:19:59.607> of<00:19:59.688> them.

00:19:59.868 --> 00:20:01.809

I<00:20:11.562> said,<00:20:11.723> yes,<00:20:12.109> I<00:20:12.285> am.

00:20:14.278 --> 00:20:15.547

00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:09.306
Why<00:23:07.546> are<00:23:07.774> you<00:23:07.937> doing<00:23:08.280> this<00:23:08.459> if<00:23:08.606> you're<00:23:08.785> so<00:23:08.932> afraid?

00:23:10.775 --> 00:23:26.191
And<00:23:10.880> I<00:23:11.056> said,<00:23:12.770> well,<00:23:12.981> for<00:23:13.209> me,<00:23:14.821> to<00:23:14.919> prove<00:23:15.163> something<00:23:15.570> to<00:23:15.668> me<00:23:16.872> and<00:23:17.035> for<00:23:17.263> you,<00:23:18.930> because<00:23:19.187> when<00:23:19.364> I<00:23:19.461> summit,<00:23:20.749> I'm<00:23:20.878> going<00:23:21.055> to<00:23:21.135> shout<00:23:21.618> each<00:23:21.795> of<00:23:21.940> your<00:23:22.085> names<00:23:22.488> to<00:23:22.584> the<00:23:22.665> world,<00:23:23.953> and<00:23:24.275> they<00:23:24.581> will—<00:23:24.822> the<00:23:24.983> world<00:23:25.322> will<00:23:25.483> go<00:23:25.644> on<00:23:25.869> record.

And<00:23:27.592> I<00:23:27.737> named<00:23:28.123> them.

00:23:29.198 --> 00:23:45.307

00:23:46.274 --> 00:23:51.061
And<00:23:46.420> when<00:23:46.582> you<00:23:46.743> grow<00:23:47.002> up,<00:23:47.956> you<00:23:48.053> will<00:23:48.199> have<00:23:48.377> the<00:23:48.522> confidence<00:23:49.185> that<00:23:49.493> you<00:23:49.978> can<00:23:50.139> do<00:23:50.236> hard<00:23:50.625> things<00:23:50.964> too.

00:23:52.457 --> 00:23:57.912
So<00:23:52.555> when<00:23:52.653> I<00:23:52.784> got<00:23:53.045> back,<00:23:53.779> the<00:23:53.877> very<00:23:54.106> first<00:23:54.432> thing<00:23:55.003> they—<00:23:55.330> that<00:23:55.493> Breena<00:23:55.836> said<00:23:56.064> to<00:23:56.162> me<00:23:56.276> was,<00:23:56.482> Did<00:23:56.644> you<00:23:56.791> call<00:23:57.132> out<00:23:57.229> our<00:23:57.392> names?

00:23:58.675 --> 00:24:02.672
And<00:23:58.984> I<00:23:59.146> said,<00:23:59.471> I<00:23:59.569> sure<00:23:59.894> did,<00:24:00.869> and<00:24:00.950> the<00:24:01.112> world<00:24:01.437> is<00:24:01.665> waiting<00:24:02.006> to<00:24:02.087> see<00:24:02.315> what<00:24:02.477> you<00:24:02.575> do.

00:24:04.344 --> 00:24:12.074
So<00:24:04.521> it<00:24:04.570> was<00:24:04.748> extremely<00:24:05.379> powerful<00:24:06.042> to<00:24:06.139> know<00:24:06.365> that<00:24:06.592> I<00:24:06.689> had<00:24:06.915> looked<00:24:07.239> all<00:24:07.336> of<00:24:07.433> those<00:24:07.740> fears<00:24:08.160> in<00:24:08.225> the<00:24:08.387> face<00:24:10.085> and<00:24:10.247> won<00:24:11.541> and<00:24:11.621> summited.

00:24:13.603 --> 00:24:15.422
What<00:24:13.752> was<00:24:13.934> the<00:24:14.017> moment<00:24:14.347> like<00:24:14.595> when<00:24:14.744> you<00:24:14.777> got<00:24:14.926> to<00:24:15.091> the<00:24:15.174> top?

00:24:18.827 --> 00:24:27.521
Well,<00:24:19.802> right<00:24:19.948> at<00:24:20.046> the<00:24:20.127> beginning,<00:24:21.004> um,<00:24:21.264> they<00:24:21.362> knew<00:24:21.589> I<00:24:21.671> couldn't<00:24:21.979> keep<00:24:22.239> up<00:24:22.386> with<00:24:22.483> the<00:24:22.629> group,<00:24:22.906> and<00:24:23.052> so<00:24:23.214> they<00:24:23.393> sent<00:24:24.108> one<00:24:25.536> the<00:24:25.681> lead<00:24:26.004> African<00:24:26.504> guide<00:24:26.843> stay<00:24:27.230> with<00:24:27.472> me.

00:24:29.312 --> 00:24:31.668
And<00:24:29.635> they<00:24:29.796> always<00:24:30.458> were<00:24:30.539> kind<00:24:30.765> of<00:24:30.861> gruff<00:24:31.265> with<00:24:31.507> me.

00:24:32.760 --> 00:24:38.986
And<00:24:33.018> like,<00:24:33.681> I<00:24:33.762> didn't<00:24:33.989> know<00:24:34.167> if<00:24:34.393> they<00:24:34.555> didn't<00:24:34.716> have<00:24:34.894> time<00:24:35.299> for<00:24:35.428> me,<00:24:35.768> that<00:24:35.881> I<00:24:35.946> shouldn't<00:24:36.172> have<00:24:36.415> come,<00:24:37.304> or<00:24:37.708> if<00:24:38.113> there<00:24:38.210> was<00:24:38.355> just<00:24:38.533> something.

00:24:40.053 --> 00:24:45.788

I'm<00:24:52.550> a<00:24:52.566> VIP.

00:24:53.032 --> 00:24:54.670

00:24:55.216 --> 00:25:01.060
And<00:24:55.296> then<00:24:55.376> when<00:24:55.521> you<00:24:55.681> break<00:24:55.922> through<00:24:56.099> the<00:24:56.324> ice<00:24:56.565> in<00:24:56.645> the<00:24:56.725> morning<00:24:57.062> to<00:24:57.207> wash<00:24:57.849> your<00:24:58.010> hands<00:24:58.267> and<00:24:58.459> things,<00:24:58.620> I<00:24:58.652> would<00:24:58.829> think,<00:24:59.069> I<00:24:59.134> have<00:24:59.374> warm<00:24:59.936> running<00:25:00.418> water<00:25:00.755> at<00:25:00.916> home.

And<00:25:59.997> he<00:26:00.094> says,<00:26:00.255> so<00:26:00.401> we're<00:26:00.497> never<00:26:00.723> going<00:26:00.852> to<00:26:00.884> stop<00:26:01.223> for<00:26:01.304> more<00:26:01.465> than<00:26:01.626> 5<00:26:01.868> minutes<00:26:02.271> because<00:26:02.658> that<00:26:03.819> is<00:26:03.964> going<00:26:04.077> to<00:26:04.125> be<00:26:04.206> the<00:26:04.432> end<00:26:04.545> of<00:26:04.674> your<00:26:04.835> journey<00:26:05.190> if<00:26:05.335> we<00:26:05.415> do<00:26:05.512> that.

00:26:06.883 --> 00:26:08.689
I<00:26:06.963> said,<00:26:07.173> okay,<00:26:07.657> I<00:26:07.754> get<00:26:07.979> it,<00:26:08.253> I<00:26:08.318> understand.

I<00:26:09.723> understand.

00:26:10.538 --> 00:26:15.542
And<00:26:10.636> then<00:26:10.685> he<00:26:10.799> said,<00:26:11.060> the<00:26:11.207> third<00:26:11.467> thing<00:26:11.679> you<00:26:11.712> are<00:26:11.859> to<00:26:11.956> do<00:26:12.983> is<00:26:13.081> step<00:26:13.733> exactly<00:26:14.939> where<00:26:15.119> I<00:26:15.216> step.

00:26:17.070 --> 00:26:18.863
Okay,<00:26:17.732> I<00:26:17.813> got<00:26:17.990> it,<00:26:18.313> I<00:26:18.394> can<00:26:18.491> do<00:26:18.636> that.

00:26:19.670 --> 00:26:23.289
They<00:26:19.832> look<00:26:19.945> right<00:26:20.090> at<00:26:20.252> me<00:26:20.300> and<00:26:20.413> goes,<00:26:21.302> you're<00:26:21.399> not<00:26:21.609> always<00:26:21.867> the<00:26:22.029> best<00:26:22.336> at<00:26:22.384> following<00:26:22.740> instructions.

00:26:27.207 --> 00:26:30.263
Oh,<00:26:27.708> my<00:26:28.015> family<00:26:28.355> and<00:26:28.452> my<00:26:28.678> friends<00:26:29.066> would<00:26:29.163> have<00:26:29.325> a<00:26:29.390> heyday<00:26:29.729> with<00:26:29.891> that<00:26:30.117> one.

00:26:31.169 --> 00:26:35.519
But,<00:26:32.058> uh,<00:26:32.398> that's<00:26:32.640> how<00:26:32.705> I<00:26:32.867> made<00:26:32.947> it<00:26:33.125> to<00:26:33.206> the<00:26:33.352> top,<00:26:34.015> was<00:26:34.500> following<00:26:35.050> his<00:26:35.228> instructions.

00:26:36.357 --> 00:26:39.408
And<00:26:36.453> then<00:26:36.614> there<00:26:36.758> were<00:26:36.855> times<00:26:37.240> I<00:26:37.401> didn't,<00:26:38.445> where<00:26:38.525> I<00:26:38.621> thought<00:26:38.846> I<00:26:38.878> knew<00:26:39.103> better.

00:26:40.227 --> 00:26:45.623
Like<00:26:41.496> when<00:26:41.673> I<00:26:41.753> stepped<00:26:42.170> a<00:26:42.315> different<00:26:42.797> step<00:26:43.279> than<00:26:43.423> he<00:26:43.664> took<00:26:44.242> because<00:26:44.563> he's<00:26:44.788> tall<00:26:45.141> and<00:26:45.222> he's<00:26:45.447> big.

00:26:45.671 --> 00:26:47.534
I'm<00:26:45.752> like,<00:26:45.912> I<00:26:46.089> can't<00:26:46.314> make<00:26:46.571> that<00:26:46.747> step<00:26:47.277> up.

00:26:48.032 --> 00:26:49.783
I<00:26:48.064> have<00:26:48.177> to<00:26:48.241> step<00:26:48.498> over<00:26:48.659> here<00:26:48.899> and<00:26:49.124> then<00:26:49.445> come<00:26:49.622> up.

00:26:50.248 --> 00:26:55.002
And<00:26:50.746> as<00:26:50.907> I<00:26:51.148> did<00:26:51.453> that,<00:26:51.806> he<00:26:52.095> was<00:26:52.336> always<00:26:52.754> listening<00:26:53.236> to<00:26:53.380> me,<00:26:54.039> to<00:26:54.135> my<00:26:54.504> footsteps.

00:26:55.468 --> 00:27:00.045
He<00:26:55.725> twirled<00:26:56.303> around,<00:26:56.769> grabbed<00:26:57.154> my<00:26:57.475> arm<00:26:58.134> just<00:26:58.519> before<00:26:59.178> I<00:26:59.322> went<00:26:59.499> off<00:26:59.724> the<00:26:59.804> cliff.

00:27:00.944 --> 00:27:05.168
And<00:27:01.025> he<00:27:01.169> just<00:27:01.426> screamed<00:27:02.229> at<00:27:02.309> me,<00:27:02.775> I<00:27:03.112> told<00:27:03.594> you<00:27:03.980> to<00:27:04.317> never<00:27:04.718> step<00:27:05.104> right.

00:27:05.264 --> 00:27:06.618
I'm<00:27:05.361> like,<00:27:06.134> I<00:27:06.215> understand.

00:27:06.666 --> 00:27:09.485
He<00:27:06.698> goes,<00:27:07.165> I've<00:27:07.343> been<00:27:07.488> up<00:27:07.584> this<00:27:07.810> mountain<00:27:08.116> 166<00:27:09.276> times.

00:27:10.387 --> 00:27:11.209
I<00:27:10.645> know<00:27:10.871> the<00:27:10.967> way.

00:27:12.562 --> 00:27:14.189
You<00:27:12.804> have<00:27:12.981> to<00:27:13.142> trust<00:27:13.947> me.

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:20.538
Do<00:27:17.706> you<00:27:17.738> know<00:27:17.885> how<00:27:18.113> hard<00:27:18.357> that<00:27:18.601> is<00:27:18.943> for<00:27:19.024> a<00:27:19.106> person<00:27:19.740> who's<00:27:20.164> afraid?

00:27:21.809 --> 00:27:23.843
That<00:27:21.973> means<00:27:22.153> they<00:27:22.383> also<00:27:22.711> don't<00:27:22.809> have<00:27:22.973> a<00:27:23.039> lot<00:27:23.121> of<00:27:23.285> trust<00:27:23.629> in<00:27:23.711> others.

00:27:25.765 --> 00:27:29.255
And<00:27:25.862> I<00:27:26.007> realized<00:27:26.492> that<00:27:26.799> day<00:27:27.138> that<00:27:27.284> that<00:27:27.397> was<00:27:27.542> one<00:27:27.607> of<00:27:27.704> my<00:27:27.865> big<00:27:28.092> lessons—<00:27:28.899> trust.

00:27:31.437 --> 00:27:35.167
And<00:27:31.534> then<00:27:31.839> we'd<00:27:32.080> stop<00:27:32.418> and<00:27:32.498> he'd<00:27:32.884> shove<00:27:33.286> that<00:27:33.543> goo<00:27:33.784> down<00:27:34.025> my<00:27:34.266> throat<00:27:34.572> and<00:27:34.733> drink.

00:27:35.311 --> 00:27:40.431
And,<00:27:35.633> and<00:27:35.729> I<00:27:35.874> kept<00:27:36.115> complaining<00:27:36.517> about<00:27:36.742> how<00:27:36.903> cold<00:27:37.160> my<00:27:37.321> feet<00:27:37.642> were,<00:27:38.510> and<00:27:39.073> I<00:27:39.089> said,<00:27:39.250> do<00:27:39.346> you<00:27:39.475> think<00:27:39.620> they're<00:27:39.733> frostbitten?

00:27:40.935 --> 00:27:43.598
He<00:27:41.113> said,<00:27:41.682> no,<00:27:42.006> you're<00:27:42.169> moving,<00:27:42.656> they're<00:27:42.769> not<00:27:43.062> frostbitten.

00:27:44.117 --> 00:27:45.676
Like,<00:27:44.523> my<00:27:44.685> feet<00:27:44.848> are<00:27:44.913> so<00:27:45.173> cold.

00:27:47.122 --> 00:27:50.811
And,<00:27:47.605> um,<00:27:48.104> finally<00:27:48.652> he<00:27:48.845> said,<00:27:49.409> do<00:27:49.554> you<00:27:49.715> want<00:27:49.941> some<00:27:50.118> toe<00:27:50.504> warmers?

00:27:51.390 --> 00:27:53.388
And<00:27:51.471> I<00:27:51.568> said,<00:27:51.874> oh,<00:27:52.373> you<00:27:52.518> have<00:27:52.760> toe<00:27:53.001> warmers?

Yes,<00:27:54.870> yes,<00:27:55.112> yes,<00:27:55.420> yes,<00:27:55.696> I<00:27:55.825> want<00:27:55.907> those.

00:27:56.961 --> 00:28:05.565
And<00:27:57.058> so<00:27:57.366> we<00:27:57.544> stopped<00:27:58.420> and<00:27:58.517> I<00:27:58.680> tried<00:27:58.988> to<00:27:59.069> get<00:27:59.247> my<00:27:59.409> gaiters<00:27:59.912> off,<00:27:59.977> and,<00:28:00.042> and<00:28:00.090> my<00:28:00.139> fingers<00:28:00.366> were<00:28:00.398> so<00:28:00.431> frozen<00:28:00.852> even<00:28:00.950> though<00:28:00.998> I<00:28:03.256> 5,<00:28:03.753> or<00:28:03.817> I<00:28:03.898> had<00:28:04.138> 4<00:28:04.315> gloves<00:28:04.715> on<00:28:04.796> at<00:28:04.940> that<00:28:05.181> point<00:28:05.373> in<00:28:05.469> time.

00:28:06.704 --> 00:28:14.514
And<00:28:07.105> so<00:28:07.281> he<00:28:07.442> came<00:28:07.746> over,<00:28:08.645> knelt<00:28:08.981> in<00:28:09.126> front<00:28:09.366> of<00:28:09.591> me,<00:28:10.810> and<00:28:11.194> carefully<00:28:11.772> took<00:28:12.076> off<00:28:12.397> every<00:28:12.654> layer,<00:28:13.760> all<00:28:13.857> my<00:28:14.017> socks.

00:28:14.803 --> 00:28:18.122

00:28:19.373 --> 00:28:22.196
And<00:28:19.454> he<00:28:19.550> began<00:28:20.031> to<00:28:20.191> help<00:28:20.576> me<00:28:20.753> and<00:28:20.913> put<00:28:21.137> those<00:28:21.378> toe<00:28:21.619> warmers<00:28:22.100> in.

00:28:22.982 --> 00:28:25.483
And<00:28:23.078> I<00:28:23.158> said<00:28:23.399> to<00:28:23.527> him,<00:28:23.639> Big<00:28:23.864> John,<00:28:24.922> do<00:28:24.986> you<00:28:25.050> have<00:28:25.147> a<00:28:25.243> mom?

00:28:26.590 --> 00:28:27.215
And<00:28:26.670> he<00:28:26.766> said,<00:28:27.007> yes.

00:28:27.809 --> 00:28:28.867
I<00:28:27.825> said,<00:28:28.274> how<00:28:28.370> old<00:28:28.611> is<00:28:28.675> she?

00:28:31.895 --> 00:28:32.456

00:28:32.522 --> 00:28:35.389
I<00:28:32.538> said,<00:28:33.659> when<00:28:33.757> you're<00:28:33.922> here<00:28:34.087> helping<00:28:34.499> me,<00:28:34.664> do<00:28:34.812> you<00:28:34.911> think<00:28:35.175> of<00:28:35.241> her?

00:28:36.620 --> 00:28:36.733
Nope.

00:28:38.655 --> 00:28:38.994
Why<00:28:38.768> not?

00:28:40.594 --> 00:28:41.547
Because<00:28:40.836> she<00:28:40.933> couldn't<00:28:41.176> do<00:28:41.337> this.

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.552
You've<00:28:43.094> got<00:28:43.358> grip.

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:49.845

00:28:50.687 --> 00:28:53.696
And<00:28:50.832> I,<00:28:51.480> and<00:28:51.819> I<00:28:51.900> said,<00:28:52.208> Big<00:28:52.450> John,<00:28:52.628> I<00:28:52.709> can't<00:28:52.952> stop<00:28:53.259> shaking.

00:28:54.136 --> 00:28:56.997

00:29:02.964 --> 00:29:04.345
And<00:29:03.044> he<00:29:03.205> says,<00:29:03.446> we're<00:29:03.606> going<00:29:03.719> to<00:29:03.831> have<00:29:03.992> to<00:29:04.088> go<00:29:04.233> down.

But<00:29:08.095> I<00:29:08.274> couldn't<00:29:08.614> even<00:29:08.825> step<00:29:09.409> because<00:29:09.717> my<00:29:09.879> foot<00:29:10.058> was<00:29:10.220> shaking<00:29:10.706> so<00:29:11.031> violently.

00:29:12.976 --> 00:29:20.053
He<00:29:13.139> took<00:29:13.525> off<00:29:13.686> his<00:29:14.008> big<00:29:14.329> parka<00:29:17.384> and<00:29:17.561> put<00:29:17.737> it<00:29:17.882> on<00:29:18.107> me<00:29:19.168> and<00:29:19.329> wrapped<00:29:19.795> me<00:29:19.956> up.

00:29:38.785 --> 00:29:39.461
Do<00:29:38.817> you<00:29:38.946> understand?

00:29:39.924 --> 00:29:40.556

00:29:51.199 --> 00:29:56.175
But<00:29:51.280> just<00:29:51.508> before<00:29:51.752> I<00:29:51.833> got<00:29:51.995> to<00:29:52.077> the<00:29:52.109> summit,<00:29:52.825> I<00:29:52.906> saw<00:29:53.231> them,<00:29:54.045> and<00:29:54.191> I<00:29:54.289> was<00:29:54.516> only<00:29:54.679> 15<00:29:55.264> minutes<00:29:55.655> behind<00:29:56.077> them.

I<00:29:58.562> did<00:29:58.740> it.

00:29:59.064 --> 00:30:06.178
And<00:29:59.306> when<00:29:59.452> I<00:30:00.196> crawled<00:30:00.600> the<00:30:00.681> last<00:30:01.004> few<00:30:01.166> feet<00:30:01.489> to<00:30:01.651> the<00:30:01.732> sign<00:30:03.025> and<00:30:03.106> I<00:30:03.252> grabbed<00:30:03.607> a<00:30:03.656> hold<00:30:03.931> of<00:30:04.012> it<00:30:04.141> and<00:30:04.222> I<00:30:04.464> just<00:30:04.707> hung<00:30:04.966> my<00:30:05.192> head,<00:30:05.434> I<00:30:05.677> held<00:30:05.936> there.

So<00:40:37.772> that<00:40:37.933> when<00:40:38.094> a<00:40:38.159> fear<00:40:38.562> comes<00:40:38.901> up<00:40:39.062> in<00:40:39.143> your<00:40:39.385> face,<00:40:39.643> it's<00:40:39.805> not<00:40:40.095> that<00:40:40.256> you're<00:40:40.353> suddenly<00:40:40.982> fearless.

00:40:42.040 --> 00:40:49.252
It's<00:40:42.205> just<00:40:42.369> that<00:40:42.452> when<00:40:42.567> a<00:40:42.715> fear<00:40:43.109> comes<00:40:43.356> up<00:40:43.471> in<00:40:43.603> your<00:40:43.866> face<00:40:45.145> You<00:40:45.387> can<00:40:45.612> make<00:40:45.854> a<00:40:45.966> different<00:40:46.578> choice,<00:40:47.883> just<00:40:48.108> like<00:40:48.286> my<00:40:48.431> little<00:40:48.688> Post-it<00:40:49.155> note.

00:40:50.041 --> 00:40:52.119
What<00:40:50.202> would<00:40:50.315> I<00:40:50.524> do<00:40:50.702> today<00:40:50.927> if<00:40:51.169> I<00:40:51.249> were<00:40:51.281> no<00:40:51.507> longer<00:40:51.910> afraid?

00:40:53.384 --> 00:40:55.495
And<00:40:53.719> I<00:40:53.820> changed<00:40:54.406> those<00:40:54.658> synapses.

00:40:56.936 --> 00:40:57.725
This<00:40:57.113> is<00:40:57.274> possible.

00:40:57.822 --> 00:40:59.577
You<00:40:57.902> first<00:40:58.240> have<00:40:58.401> to<00:40:58.482> do<00:40:58.578> it<00:40:58.723> on<00:40:58.788> a<00:40:58.884> personal<00:40:59.367> level.

00:41:00.816 --> 00:41:20.799

00:41:21.819 --> 00:41:29.564
And<00:41:22.062> people<00:41:22.581> sense<00:41:23.701> manipulative<00:41:24.984> energy,<00:41:26.771> that<00:41:26.884> you're<00:41:27.095> going<00:41:27.160> to<00:41:27.193> manipulate<00:41:28.005> them<00:41:28.882> into<00:41:29.142> an<00:41:29.288> action.

00:41:31.150 --> 00:41:36.316
But<00:41:31.246> a<00:41:31.408> love-based<00:41:32.715> energy<00:41:33.765> doesn't<00:41:34.072> manipulate<00:41:34.976> people<00:41:35.460> into<00:41:35.783> performing.

00:41:37.946 --> 00:41:43.528
It<00:41:38.027> invites<00:41:38.527> them<00:41:38.689> to<00:41:38.915> come<00:41:39.173> into<00:41:39.480> your<00:41:39.593> space<00:41:41.795> And<00:41:41.956> that's<00:41:42.212> a<00:41:42.421> very<00:41:42.758> different<00:41:43.079> feeling.

00:41:43.816 --> 00:41:49.752
It's<00:41:43.961> a<00:41:44.025> feeling,<00:41:45.789> and<00:41:46.543> it's<00:41:46.704> a<00:41:46.768> bunch<00:41:47.073> of<00:41:47.153> hoo-ha<00:41:47.490> to<00:41:47.586> some<00:41:47.891> people,<00:41:48.757> but<00:41:48.853> to<00:41:49.014> me,<00:41:49.238> I've<00:41:49.479> lived<00:41:49.671> it.

00:41:50.922 --> 00:41:55.975
I<00:41:50.955> was<00:41:51.115> as<00:41:51.324> much<00:41:51.500> by-the-numbers<00:41:52.703> girl<00:41:53.008> as<00:41:53.168> anybody<00:41:53.585> else,<00:41:54.772> and<00:41:54.885> it's<00:41:55.109> different<00:41:55.510> for<00:41:55.735> me<00:41:55.767> now.

00:41:56.793 --> 00:41:59.007
When<00:41:56.938> I<00:41:57.114> come<00:41:57.371> into<00:41:57.660> a<00:41:57.820> room,<00:41:57.996> I<00:41:58.077> think<00:41:58.301> you're<00:41:58.462> right,<00:41:58.718> Clint.

00:41:59.520 --> 00:42:01.076
I<00:41:59.601> think<00:41:59.905> people<00:42:00.258> do<00:42:00.467> pay<00:42:00.643> attention.

00:42:01.124 --> 00:42:07.701
They<00:42:01.285> do<00:42:01.445> listen<00:42:01.750> to<00:42:01.846> me<00:42:02.472> because<00:42:02.809> the<00:42:03.130> energy<00:42:03.611> about<00:42:04.076> me<00:42:04.493> isn't<00:42:04.814> about<00:42:05.696> what<00:42:06.097> will<00:42:06.322> you<00:42:06.659> be<00:42:06.835> able<00:42:06.995> to<00:42:07.204> do<00:42:07.364> for<00:42:07.621> me.

00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:16.013
Sometimes<00:42:09.873> we<00:42:09.970> talk<00:42:10.293> past<00:42:10.616> people,<00:42:11.004> we<00:42:11.181> think<00:42:11.892> past<00:42:12.151> people,<00:42:12.797> because<00:42:13.120> we're<00:42:13.347> only<00:42:13.670> talking<00:42:14.154> to<00:42:14.316> them<00:42:14.558> because,<00:42:14.817> what,<00:42:15.140> what<00:42:15.237> can<00:42:15.447> they<00:42:15.544> do<00:42:15.706> for<00:42:15.932> me?

00:42:16.666 --> 00:42:21.545
If<00:42:16.746> they—<00:42:17.150> if<00:42:17.231> you<00:42:17.328> size<00:42:17.877> them<00:42:18.120> up<00:42:18.459> as<00:42:18.621> not<00:42:18.863> being<00:42:19.089> able<00:42:19.251> to<00:42:19.412> do<00:42:19.525> much<00:42:19.897> for<00:42:20.058> you,<00:42:20.479> you<00:42:20.592> don't<00:42:20.705> have<00:42:20.753> any<00:42:20.947> time<00:42:21.286> for<00:42:21.383> them.

00:42:23.183 --> 00:42:28.124
But<00:42:23.328> in<00:42:23.425> love-based<00:42:24.055> life,<00:42:24.555> everyone<00:42:25.104> has<00:42:25.347> value,<00:42:26.735> and<00:42:27.042> that's<00:42:27.301> what<00:42:27.446> you<00:42:27.543> bring<00:42:27.850> to<00:42:27.947> them.

00:42:29.262 --> 00:42:33.608
You<00:42:29.408> see<00:42:29.894> people<00:42:31.046> as<00:42:31.192> who<00:42:31.387> they<00:42:31.678> are<00:42:32.262> and<00:42:32.360> accept<00:42:32.911> them<00:42:33.073> where<00:42:33.235> they<00:42:33.462> are.

00:42:35.186 --> 00:42:38.816
And<00:42:35.332> then<00:42:35.525> from<00:42:35.654> there,<00:42:36.622> you<00:42:36.703> can<00:42:36.880> begin<00:42:37.203> to<00:42:37.300> transform<00:42:38.090> and<00:42:38.251> go<00:42:38.332> forward.

00:42:39.123 --> 00:42:45.613
But<00:42:39.203> it<00:42:39.300> first<00:42:39.719> has<00:42:39.929> to<00:42:40.026> begin<00:42:40.349> here,<00:42:40.994> and<00:42:41.139> the<00:42:41.236> shift<00:42:41.655> in<00:42:41.784> your<00:42:41.962> energy—<00:42:44.385> it's,<00:42:44.725> it's<00:42:45.258> all<00:42:45.339> in<00:42:45.371> the<00:42:45.500> book.

00:42:48.248 --> 00:42:51.217
All<00:42:48.345> right,<00:42:48.508> last<00:42:48.751> question,<00:42:49.075> because<00:42:49.708> I,<00:42:49.952> I<00:42:50.033> have<00:42:50.211> to<00:42:50.308> respect<00:42:50.698> your<00:42:50.779> time<00:42:51.103> here.

00:42:51.980 --> 00:42:55.452
Um,<00:42:53.050> did<00:42:53.213> you<00:42:53.635> follow<00:42:54.170> Julia<00:42:54.494> Child<00:42:55.062> as<00:42:55.160> a<00:42:55.241> kid?

00:42:56.710 --> 00:42:58.243
Is<00:42:56.871> that<00:42:57.226> like<00:42:57.387> a<00:42:57.533> hero<00:42:57.855> of<00:42:57.936> yours?

00:42:59.001 --> 00:43:01.825
Yeah,<00:42:59.550> she<00:42:59.808> was<00:43:00.276> definitely<00:43:00.938> my<00:43:01.244> mentor.

00:43:02.374 --> 00:43:03.310

00:43:16.635 --> 00:43:17.875
She<00:43:16.717> didn't<00:43:16.863> have<00:43:17.043> anything<00:43:17.369> to<00:43:17.451> do<00:43:17.696> all<00:43:17.794> day.

00:43:19.670 --> 00:43:31.945
She<00:43:20.899> just<00:43:21.158> really<00:43:21.466> was<00:43:23.246> floundering<00:43:23.764> at<00:43:23.910> what<00:43:24.136> to<00:43:24.233> do<00:43:24.395> with<00:43:24.622> her<00:43:24.719> life,<00:43:25.593> and<00:43:26.337> she<00:43:26.580> just<00:43:26.806> decided<00:43:27.389> as<00:43:27.551> a<00:43:27.697> whim<00:43:27.955> to<00:43:28.117> go<00:43:28.263> to<00:43:28.490> Cordon<00:43:28.753> Bleu,<00:43:29.905> and<00:43:30.168> she<00:43:30.415> couldn't<00:43:30.974> even<00:43:31.155> speak<00:43:31.550> the<00:43:31.715> language.
