Ari DeLashmutt - Confronting Fear Hundreds of Feet in the Air on a Highline

Ari’s Wild Idea: To cross canyons and mountains hundreds of feet in the air. To highline at challenging locations, and to apply lessons of life learned in the air to life on the ground. Ari (pronounced Air-ee) DeLashmutt is a professional highliner, skier, paraglider and an enthusiastic adventurer, who also hosts the How To Adventure Podcast. He lives a dream life, eager to spend most of his time in the air or on the mountains. I met Ari at the OutFound Festival in Oregon, and I love that he thinks outside of the box. Ari has some incredible perspectives on life, fear, confidence, and failure. These are lessons he’s learned from spending so much time pushing the envelope, doing what he loves, and confronting fear in the face. He shares some of his best lessons learned from highlining, rigging ropes tethered to rocks in precarious locations, why play is so important, and so much more. Listen to this episode if: You want to challenge your notion of fear. You’ve tried slacklining. You love going on adventures. You love traveling to beautiful, natural locations. You want to try highlining. For full show notes, including guest links and books mentioned during the episode, visit: http://wildideasworthliving.com/42 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
