Melissa Davey took the adage about it's never too late to try something new quite seriously. This wasn't about jumping out of an airplane kind of stuff. In her sixties, she retired from a lengthy corporate career to pursue her second act and dream of becoming a filmmaker. I always tell teens I coach or meet who are stressed about picking a college major and choosing a career path, that the average American changes careers, not just jobs, seven times in their lifetimes. You never know when circumstances allow you to drop the grind and forge a new direction, like you heard Australian Maddy Reynolds do in a WASP episode a few weeks ago when she dumped the corporate world to become a pro trail runner. Melissa was the Vice President of Social Security and Managed Disability at GENEX for 22 years, sat on the company's executive team, and worked throughout the United States to create and deliver services to the disability insurance marketplace. But after a day on the set with famed screenwriter and filmmaker M Night Shyamalan, she decided to take a risk and left her career to jump into the unknown. Pursuing her dream of becoming a filmmaker became a reality in late 2018 when Melissa completed her first feature film, Beyond Sixty, which highlights stories of women making similar jumps, including the woman behind the original voice of Siri, the Madam CJ Walker biographer, and the sculptor of Lady Gaga's Fame perfume carriage. During 2019, Melissa's film was accepted by and screened at eight film festivals throughout the United States and Canada, winning awards and confirming that it is never too late to learn something new. Picked up by a distributor and released in 2021, the film is currently available on most streaming platforms. Melissa's second film, Climbing into Life, details the inspiring life story of Dierdre Wolownick, the oldest woman to ascend El Capitan, who also happens to be the mother of famed free solo climber Alex Honnold. The film is currently making the film festival rounds. Melissa is a champion to show that it isn't too late for people over 60, particularly women to explore new pathways and make a profound impact on the world. It's such a great message to share, and she does it with an infectious energy as you'll find out in this episode.Melissa Daveymelissadavey.combeyondsixty.commelissa@melissadavey.comFacebook Beyond Sixty DocumentaryInstagram @beyond60project and @climbing_into_lifeBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signup

Alex Honnold doesn't just climb mountains—he defies them. The legendary free solo climber (scaling sheer rock faces without a rope or safety equipment) and star of Free Solo, the Academy Award-winning documentary, joins The Zac Clark Show for a deep dive into the psychology of risk, obsession, and resilience. Alex opens up about his all-or-nothing mentality, the dangers and discipline of climbing, and why he's never touched alcohol. He, Zac, and Jay explore the parallels between extreme sports and recovery—how both demand total commitment, the power of consistency, and the fine line between passion and self-destruction.But what happens when the stakes shift from personal ambition to family responsibility? Alex reflects on fear, mortality, and the risks he's willing—and unwilling—to take now that he's a husband and father. From free soloing to social media, spirituality, and the pressures of unwanted fame, this conversation goes far beyond the wall into the mind of someone who has quite literally made it to the mountaintop.Connect with Zachttps://www.instagram.com/zwclark/https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclarkhttps://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553https://twitter.com/zacwclarkIf you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release:(914) 588-6564releaserecovery.com@releaserecovery

Does Alex Honnold need an introduction? No, of course he doesn't. But he was particularly suited for this conversation about Bachar and Croft for several reasons: #1, Alex is a student of history. He cares about this stuff. If you haven't listened to his Climbing Gold podcast, you should. I highly recommend the Dope Lake series - it's a 5 part series about the 1976 plane crash in the Yosemite high country - a plane that was carrying 4 million dollars worth of marijuana. Go listen. #2, he's the obvious torch bearer for what these guys did - the soloing, yes, but also the pushing of Valley standards and the furthering of the conversation. And #3, because as much as I want these stories to be larger than life, I also wanted them to be rooted in a realistic look at what we can learn. And if there's anyone who can just be logical, it's Alex Honnold.  In this episode we get into an interesting progression that Alex didn't even realize he was part of, meeting your heroes, mythologizing, big link ups, soloing, and what John Bachar and Peter Croft mean for climbing and for Alex personally.

Mi ha dato sicurezza nei momenti più delicati, aiutandomi ad avere pazienza e offrendo sempre una chiave di lettura anche nelle situazioni più complesse.La sua esperienza è particolarmente interessante perché ha lavorato sia dal lato brand che da quello degli atleti. Per sei anni ha lavorato nello sports marketing come athlete manager per The North Face, seguendo il team di trail, freeride, snowboard, arrampicata e alpinismo. Successivamente ha scelto di lasciare questo ruolo per intraprendere un percorso autonomo, diventando un agente per gli atleti.

Increasingly, it seems that corporate philanthropy (and even personal giving) are reactive rather than proactive. Today's episode challenges that notion with an insightful look into the relationship REC Solar's Cary Hayes has formed with Alex Honnold and his Honnold Foundation, which REC has supported for years with both cash and in-kind donations. Why does Cary believe this is a meaningful part of their annual marketing budget? Hear Cary, Alex & Nico discuss why this is an overlooked marketing line item for most companies, and consider for yourself if supporting non-profits should be more prevalent in yours or anyone's annual budget.Alex Honnold is best known for his daring free solo climbs, but his true passion lies in bringing clean energy to the world's most underserved communities. In a compelling conversation with Cary Hayes, President-America's at REC, Honnold shares the origin and evolution of the Honnold Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to solar power. By focusing on grassroots, "shovel-ready" projects, the foundation empowers local organizations to lead transformative initiatives, from cooperative microgrids in Puerto Rico to solar installations in remote African villages. Honnold's journey—from dirtbag climber living in a van to International superstar spearheading a $50 million project pipeline—underscores the importance of starting small and prioritizing tangible impact over perfection.Following the Hayes/Honnold conversation, host Nico Johnson expands on this vision in a 1:1 with Cary reflecting on the solar industry's unique opportunity to amplify its influence through philanthropy. Cary shares insights from REC Solar's collaboration with the Honnold Foundation and explores how partnerships like these align corporate innovation with community resilience. Nico challenges the solar sector to move beyond profit-driven mindsets, arguing for a mission-first approach that redirects resources toward high-impact projects. Together, they discuss the power of storytelling, collaboration, and leadership to inspire a more sustainable and equitable future.It's time to put our shoulders to the plow, align our resources with our mission, and drive meaningful, community-focused change. We all have a role to play in creating a more sustainable and equitable future.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Alex Honnold, the world-famous rock climber and philanthropist, has pushed the physical boundaries of human potential with his climbing pursuits, but in his travels to some of the world's most remote and beautiful locations he's come face-to-face with one of the world's most urgent challenges: energy access.Alex has never been one to stand by and let others do the hard work. Before his rise to fame with his harrowing, albeit Oscar-winning performance on Yosemite's most famous of all big walls, El Capitan, Honnold has had a soft spot for those without energy access. He points out that at its most fundamental level energy brings opportunity. That's why he created his eponymous foundation to help expand solar energy access and empower underserved communities while promoting conservation in some of the most remote and vulnerable regions on the planet. And he's been donating a third of his income to every year to help underserved communities acquire solar energy since long before achieving international recognition for his climbing feats.If you've been paying attention over the last few years, though, Honnold's “objectives” (climber speak for projects) have blended the thrill of climbing with the responsibility of creating a lasting impact by helping preserve the environment in more ways than just environmental protection. Thanks to Cary Hayes & the REC Solar team, who have been an ongoing corporate partner for Honnold Foundation, Nico recently had a chance to spend the day with Honnold at his home gym outside Las Vegas, NV. (yes, you read that right - we actually got to go to his HOME climbing gym, in his garage, and climb with him! More on that in a forthcoming LI Post…) In this wide-ranging conversation, Alex offers a rare perspective on how personal ambition can align with global progress, and why he believes solar power is a great social justice tool. From free soloing ascents of big walls to addressing energy inequity, Honnold is truly reaching new heights. Tune in to discover:How he balances family life, climbing, and building the Honnold FoundationHow Big Horn sheep helped shape his outlook on lifeWhy solar energy provides more leverage to address social inequalityHow lessons from climbing translate to building lasting impact and entrepreneurshipAnd much, much more (really, we learned a lot from this #SolarWarrior!)If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Source: Andrew Tindall in The Drum Link: https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2024/09/02/dr-pepper-just-overtook-pepsi-could-coca-cola-be-next The Background: Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper once dominated the U.S. soda market, but by the end of 2023, Pepsi and Dr. Pepper were tied with an 8.3% market share. Dr. Pepper's success is due to both its own strategy and Pepsi's failures. Case #1 - Branding & Rebranding: While Coca-Cola maintained a consistent brand identity, Pepsi underwent multiple major redesigns. Dr. Pepper, launched in 1885, kept its unique positioning, benefiting from a distinct brand and flavor profile. The brand leveraged its unique classification as a "Pepper Soda" to expand its distribution network. The Cola Wars: Pepsi focused on taste tests and high-profile campaigns, including controversial ads, while the overall market saw a shift towards bottled water and diverse flavors. Pepsi emphasized zero sugar and snacks. Dr. Pepper's Strategy: Unlike its competitors, Dr. Pepper avoided the "Cola Wars" and focused on its distinctiveness, committing to an eSOV (excess share of voice) strategy and consistently improving ad quality. As Gen Z becomes the key demographic, Dr. Pepper continues to focus on its 139-year-old positioning as a unique blend of 23 flavors while adapting its creative approach to resonate with younger consumers. We Play Different - The North Face Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7qHeUak1RU&list=TLGGQEylHYKkXDwxMDA5MjAyNA&t=18s Agency: B-Reel The North Face aimed to reconnect with its core audience across fashion and outdoor sports while appealing to a younger demographic unfamiliar with its heritage. Campaign narrative and execution The campaign, "We Always Have Your Back," utilizes storytelling and visual spectacle to bridge The North Face's legacy in extreme outdoor exploration with its contemporary status as a streetwear icon. Narrated by Alex Honnold, the campaign emphasizes unity and support in adventure.

Welcome back to Part II of our conversation with Brant Hysell. Climber, olive mafia boss, and man behind The Gravity Lab YouTube channel. If you missed Part I, I highly recommend checking it out before continuing here.Today, it's story time with Brant as we dive into three of his most memorable climbs: Freestone, Lurking Fear, and his recent solo ascent of the Salathé. Most of us would spend months, if not years, meticulously planning and training for objectives like these. But for Brant, these climbs were more about stepping into the unknown and leaving room for the unexpected.To me, this reveals two important things about Brant. First, he's an incredibly strong climber with a solid foundation to fall back on. Second, Brant climbs for the adventure. For him, too much planning, research, and preparation take away from the magic that climbing offers. He'd rather pack the essentials, sans headlamps,  and figure the rest out in the moment. Brant's approach to climbing is raw and real—creating the chaotic, often messy adventures that truly shape a climber.His mindset challenges the belief that every climb needs to be meticulously planned and perfectly executed. This way of thinking doesn't just apply to climbing—it's a lesson in life.Embrace the chaos, trust in your abilities, and honor the legacies that inspire you. In doing so, you'll find that the most meaningful experiences are often the ones you least expect.Finally we close the conversation with the details surrounding Brants recent solo speed record of the Salathe Wall, a record that stood undefeated for 10 years! While Brant was only able to hold the title briefly…. before Alex Honnold came to the valley and stole the record a few weeks later, he reflects on the experience with humility and pride. . As he puts it; he is proud to have his name up next to one of the greatest climbers in the world…to have your record taken from someone like Alex…honestly feels pretty good”.----Don't forget to check out our full video episodes on Youtube!The TCM movement is growing but we need your help to spread the word!

Guest: RJ Scaringe, CEO and Founder of Rivian“I'm very comfortable with things not being in their end state,” says Rivian CEO and founder RJ Scaringe. The company's challenging mission — to help make 100% of the world's cars electric — will take a long time, and a lot of willingness to build the metaphorical plane in midair. As Rivian has grown from one person to seven to 17,000, though, RJ admits that there's a lot more pressure to not screw up. “There's all these conflicting emotions I had ... is this the right product?” he recalls. “Is it the right strategy? Am I capable of doing this? But at the end of the day, I try really hard not to let that be overly distracting.”Chapters:(01:58) - Starting from scratch (05:35) - Auto tech innovation (08:03) - The supply chain (09:52) - Rivian's deal with Volkswagen (14:28) - Outsourcing (16:10) - Capable EVs (19:06) - Brand and customer satisfaction (21:05) - That nagging feeling (27:26) - Raising capital (31:31) - RJ's father (32:35) - The dark side of cars (34:43) - Tesla's influence (37:13) - Financial challenges (42:38) - Entrepreneurial mindset (44:59) - Hard decisions (46:46) - Don't screw this up (49:56) - 25,000 decisions a day (52:16) - Daily routines (54:57) - Who Rivian is hiring (55:34) - What “grit” means to RJ Mentioned in this episode: Porsche, Alex Honnold, Amazon AWS, Mercedes, Elon Musk, Lotus, U.S. News and World Report, MotorTrend, J.D.

Each Sunday, TED shares an episode of another podcast we think you'll love, handpicked for you… by us. Today we're sharing a special episode of ReThinking with Adam Grant, a podcast about what makes the greatest minds tick. In 2017, Alex Honnold did what even the world's best rock climbers thought was impossible. He climbed to the top of El Capitan -- a granite rock mountain more than 3,000 feet high -- without a rope, harness, or net. His audacious feat was the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary “Free Solo,” and it left Adam with some burning questions about what we can learn from his unique approach to managing fear. Alex opens up about how he regulates his emotions when he's hanging on by just a few fingers, what still scares him, and how he stays motivated to pursue ambitious goals.

On May 21st, First Ascent co-host Lee Hansche passed away while setting routes at the climbing gym while he worked. Today, Jay is releasing the final episode that they recorded together, as it reflects what a great man Lee was and what a joy it was to speak with him about climbing. If you would like to donate in Lee's name, please visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/lee-hansche. The proceeds will be split between the Rumney Climbers Association and the Central New Hampshire Climbers Association, two organizations that support climbing areas that Lee loved so much. In this episode, originally titled Honnold & Midtbø Revisited + Lies on Action Direct, Jay and Lee share their thoughts on recent controversial happenings in the climbing sphere. They'll rehash their opinions about Alex Honnold and Magnus Midtbø's free solo in light of Magnus's reaction video with his girlfriend. (Check out our first episode on that free solo here) Then, they'll break down the controversy surrounding Said Belhaj's claim that he sent Action Directe. And finally, they'll bring it closer to home with a history of the ladder controversy at Waimea, since it has begun to heat up once again. Disclaimer: The information expressed in this episode is for entertainment purposes only, and is not intended as, nor should it be interpreted as, informational or instructional.

We thought long and hard about alien physiology before recording this great episode! The main topic was a wildly cool wrinkle in training science. Across all different types of events, the most predictive variable for performance is often how fast an athlete can go at VO2 max effort. That could have massive implications for how we think about training and what we consider "specificity" for long events! We discussed why we think that is, along with workout designs, the use of hills, and how much we want to get aliens on a treadmill. ET can phone home after ET does a VO2 max test. And this one was full of our favorite topics! Other topics: Addie dog going strong at nearly 12 years old, the upcoming Olympic Trials on the track, our wild travel schedule between the Trials and Western States, stroller running and our worrisome experience, sodium bicarbonate hacks, workout design, the power of using set-based structures, running economy and other predictors in ultras, a new study on fatigue resistance/durability and its relation to training status, Alex Honnold running the Lavaredo 50k, Roger Federer's wonderful speech on perseverance, messages about ferritin increases from liposomal iron, Joey Chestnut's ban from the hot dog eating contest and what it says about sponsorships, the increasing cost of shoes, Keely Hodgkinson's low-volume approach with lots of cross training, and hot takes.

Alex Honnold is history's greatest ever climber in the free solo style, meaning he ascends without a rope or protective equipment of any kind.Above about 50 feet, any fall would likely be lethal, which means that, on epic days of soloing, he might spend 12 or more hours in the Death Zone. On the hardest parts of some climbing routes, his fingers will have no more contact with the rock than most people have with the touchscreens of their phones, while his toes press down on edges as thin as sticks of gum. Just watching a video of Honnold climbing will trigger some degree of vertigo, heart palpitations, or nausea in most people, and that's if they can watch them at all. Even Honnold has said that his palms sweat when he watches himself on film.In this episode, Alex shares the unique mindset he brings to some of the most incredible human feats ever accomplished.
