Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

Every time you're doing these experiences, you have a strategy. You don't just say, okay, I'm going to just push through until I'm dead.

You have a strategy and it sounds like Jenna's really helping you crap this strategy.

How do people push through these mental or physical challenges when it seems like, is really helping you craft this strategy. How do people push through

these mental or physical challenges when it seems like, gosh, it's going to take me 10 years to

launch a podcast like what Lewis has or 10 years to build this business or to do this thing?

How do people push through that barrier? How do you do it?

You know, for me, people love to ask me about my physical training.

How do I get strong? There's some fun stories about the crazy training that I did to prepare for this and whatnot. But I believe that it's the muscle six inches between your ears. It's about flexing your mind is really what it comes down to. When I describe that moment of Jen and I writing our dreams onto this whiteboard. Sadly, as you know, that's where 99.9% of dreams die as an idea,

because all of a sudden, of Jen and I writing our dreams onto this whiteboard. Sadly, as you know, that's where 99.9% of

dreams die as an idea because all of a sudden we have these doubts in our mind, oh, I can't, or it's going to take 10 years, or I could never catch up to this person or that person or this metric or that metric. But it's about showing up. It's about getting out there every single So in Antarctica, my first day in Antarctica, I think, is really emblematic of that.

I get out there, we've been playing this project for well over a year. It's a world first. No one's ever done it. There's so many doubters and naysayers. Someone actually died 100 miles from the finish line three years ago, trying this project. Another one of the best explorers in the world went out there the following year. and after 52 days ran out of food and had to be picked up and didn't make it. So there's a lot of people, there's a lot of print articles in big magazines saying, it's physically impossible to do this thing. And so like, I know that going in. So we build this strategy. And The unsupported nature means you can't take any extra supplies with you. Basically what you have near sled to start, no one can give you anything.

So that case, like weight is of the... And the unsupported nature means you can't take any extra supplies with you. Basically what you have in your sled to start, no one can give you anything.

So at that case, like weight is of the essence.

And so I pack my sled as much of food and as much fuel, the fuel I melt the ice into water.

And I don't bring extra anything.

I literally don't even have an extra pair of underwear with me for 54 days

because like I can't, I'd rather have a hundred more calories in my sled

of food same underwear for me. Same underwear of 54 days but I get out there I fly this plane lands

me out on the edge of the Antarctic continent takes off I'm all alone out there right like I'm dropped off

alone another British explorer one of the actually the most experience in the world in terms of

amount of miles traversed in Antarctica and various other projects he also decides that he wants to try to be the first. So not only am I now racing history, this guy's a British Navy SEAL equivalent, you know, special forces guys, named Lou Rudd. Plane drops us off, we're at a mile apart from each other, equidistant from the first waypoint, the first like GPS marker on the map.
