Summary

He's faced death more than once on his adventures, but ask him which was the toughest and he'll always answer "the last one." It's always the freshest in his mind. Ray believes in the possible and started a foundation called Impossible to Possible. i2P brings his expeditions to classrooms, sharing his journeys and his lessons with kids in an interactive way. Zahab uses these experiences to inspire kids to see possibilities in their own lives. He wasn't always adventurous, hear how he went from a pack a day smoker afraid to take a chance to the man he is today, and how you can do it too.

Lessons:

1. We overcomplicate things; the first step you take doesn't have to be monumental.   

2. Take a chance and you will be surprised where life will take you.
