Welcome to the Gritty Podcast. I am your host Brian Call and I am joeing today by my brother the Gritty

Bromine. How are you, Brent? I'm well. Thank you. On today's podcast, I'm going to read from one of my

favorite books. It's called Land of the Spotted Eagle by Luther Standing Bear. And in this this

podcast, I'm going to go over a chapter. It's one of my favorite chapters called Indian Wisdom and

it's chapter seven. And in this, you know, we've talked Brent in the past about theater Roosevelt.

We did a podcast called The Healing Outdoors where we talk about how theater Roosevelt uses the

outdoors to heal him from his melancholy, bouts of depression, hectic chaotic life that he experiences

as president or as even governor as New York. It's his sanctuary slash happy place. Yeah.

And I can test and people that listen to the podcast resonate with this idea that one of our

messages in our films is that the outdoors is healing that we need to be there. That there's a reason

for that. That being close to nature is powerful. One of the quotes from Luther Standing Bear that I

quote often is man's heart away from nature becomes hard. And there is some truth to to that when you

go out in your in nature and you're there for extended periods and it's quiet and it's just you.

There there is a rejuvenating quality to it. There's a peaceful thing that comes from it. There's

also a hardship and there's also discomfort from the cold or the wet. This is humblet, which is

good for you. Yeah. Climbing a hell is awfully humbling to me. What was it? Wim Hof was saying like we

think we want more comforts. The coolest like fancy house with temperature control, the hot

tubs, all the luxuries you can imagine, right? Delicious foods laying all over and that's what we

think we want like comfort a pretty woman. You know, you have like everything kind of just.

I definitely want that last one. And no struggle, right? And really not very much struggle. And

Wim Hof's who's the ice man he argues actually know the human brain, human body needs struggle. It

needs challenge needs to be cold. It really does. It needs to be like struggling to stay warm.
