Podcasts about fearvana

This episode is part of the POE series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark. In November 2024, Akshay Nanavati set out to do what no one had ever attempted before… He wanted to complete the world's first unsupported, solo, 2,750km coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica without any dogs or kites. To do this, he would need to drag a sled with a starting weight of 420 pounds from start to finish. The goal? To explore the hidden treasures of the human soul—treasures that can only be found in the depths of solitude and suffering. He wanted to push the boundaries of what's possible and share the wisdom found on the other side. His attempt was ultimately cut short due to a life-threatening infection, but not before he covered 500 miles in 60 days. In this gripping episode of Beyond A Million, Akshay recounts the journey: the intense physical and mental preparation, raising $1.1 million, spending two months in complete isolation, and confronting the unrelenting monotony of Antarctica. We also dive into how his background as a Marine, a recovering addict, and author of Fearvana shaped the philosophy that fuels his relentless drive.

Hello and welcome to another episode of C60! Today we have an incredibly inspiring guest joining us: Akshay Nanavati. Akshay is the author of "Fearvana," a former Marine, and a modern-day explorer who has transformed personal adversity into a journey of purpose and enlightenment. In this episode, Akshay shares his unique philosophy of acceptance, emphasizing the power of embracing life's challenges as they come. Born in India and having faced down a troubled youth, Akshay's transformative moment came after watching "Blackhawk Down," which steered him away from a self-destructive path and into the military. Despite numerous physical challenges, he became a Marine and later confronted profound trauma and PTSD after his deployment to Iraq. Turning to neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, he developed the ethos of "Fearvana," where fear and suffering are seen as gateways to nirvana. Akshay is now preparing for his most daring adventure yet: an unprecedented solo coast-to-coast ski crossing of Antarctica, spanning 1,700 miles over 110 days. He views this journey not just as a personal challenge but as a means to push the boundaries of human potential and share valuable insights for overcoming involuntary suffering. We'll dive deep into Akshay's personal philosophy, the concept of duality, and how embracing both light and darkness can lead to inner peace and purpose. Akshay also discusses neuroplasticity, mental endurance, and the importance of reframing pain. This episode will leave you with profound insights into navigating life's struggles and transforming them into a meaningful, fulfilling existence.

Confidence is the result of action, not the fuel of action." - Akshay Nanavati No Emotion Is Either Good or Bad "There's no bad emotions, there's no good emotions, there's only emotions. It's the label of bad, the assignment of the judgment of the emotion that causes more problems than the emotion itself. The second you accept the "isness" of the emotion and become aware of it without deeming it bad, then you can use any emotion as fuel to drive you into something better." - Akshay Nanavati The Power of Nature "Nature makes you realize how small you are, but at the same time, you feel all powerful out there because simply by stepping in that playground to control your reality, to be there, to survive, to thrive out there, you feel more powerful than you've ever felt. It's an experience of both control and surrender, and  ego and humility" - Akshay Nanavati Links From Today's Show  Akshay Nanavati FEARVANA: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear into Health, Wealth and Happiness by Akshay Nanavati Dave Asprey Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl BREATHE: Breath & Wellness Program - 33% off with code "PODCAST33" 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Black Hawk Down Braveheart 411 Gay Hendricks | The Genius Zone: The Breakthrough Process to End Negative Thinking and Live in True Creativity Finding Joe 565 Pavel Stuchlik | Connecting Back With Spirit: Dark Retreats, Iboga + EMF Detox (Your Guide To Self-Transformation) The Green Mile Akshay Nanavati on The Dr. Drew Podcast Akshay Nanavati: Find strength in fear 589 Alex Charfen | The Freedom Life: How To Program Yourself For Success In Mind, Body, Spirit + Soul 201 Finding Mastery: Micheal Gervais Support Akshay's journey The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work by Joseph Campbell 555 Mike Dillard | Richer Every Day: How To WIN The War on Your Money + Mind Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" Defender Shield - Save 10% with "TRENT10" Neuvana - Save 15% with "WELLNESSFORCE" Supplements Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" LiftMode - Save 10% with "JOSH10" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Lightbody Total Eye Health - 20% off with "JOSH20" at checkout.

Prepare for an awe-inspiring and transformative episode of Fight the Burnout as we sit down with the remarkable Akshay Nanavati, a true testament to the power of resilience and overcoming adversity. Akshay's life journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, from battling drug addiction and PTSD as a US Marine in Iraq, where he fearlessly walked ahead of vehicles to uncover bombs, to facing depression and alcoholism that nearly pushed him to the edge of suicide. Yet, rather than succumbing to his demons, Akshay chose to embrace them, using his indomitable spirit to turn his life around completely. Rising from the depths of despair, he has since achieved awe-inspiring feats that most would only dream of. From running numerous ultramarathons, including a grueling 24-hour run, to traversing 167 miles across Liberia to build a school, Akshay's determination knows no bounds. Not content with conquering physical challenges alone, Akshay spent 10 days in darkness and isolation, endured a bone-chilling 350-mile ski across the world's second-largest icecap in -40-degree temperatures, and became one of only 26 people to ski up a remote glacier in Antarctica, where he endured frostbite and lost two fingers. Remarkably, Akshay thrives despite facing four biological defects, including a life-threatening blood disorder that doctors warned would prevent him from surviving boot camp. Drawing on his life's experiences and a profound understanding of science and spirituality, Akshay authored the groundbreaking book "Fearvana," featuring a foreword written by none other than the Dalai Lama himself. And that's not all – every single penny from the book's profits goes directly to charity, reflecting Akshay's unwavering commitment to giving back to the world. Now, Akshay's mission is clear: to help humanity embrace suffering as a catalyst for greater meaning, purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Join us in this powerful episode as Akshay shares his awe-inspiring journey, offering invaluable insights on conquering burnout, finding purpose amidst challenges, and unleashing the potential that lies within each of us.

“When things are stuck in your head, they just rattle around there forever. It's so important to get it on paper and to read through it and say, you know what, that's a thought that I had, but I am not my thoughts. I am not my feelings. I am the thinker of my thoughts and the feeler of my feelings.” – Dennis Morolda In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Dennis Morolda, Founder and CEO of Building Men, a movement dedicated to helping young men become the strongest versions of themselves – mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

As a young immigrant to the US, Akshay overcame drug addiction, PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines, depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide.   By falling in love with his demons, he has since:   - Run 167 miles across post-war Liberia to build a school.   - Despite 4 biological defects including a blood disorder that 2 doctors said would kill him in boot camp, he is now a sponsored athlete and have run many ultra marathons, including an 80 mile run around a 0.2 mile loop and a 50 miler around a cul-de-sac during the quarantine.   - Spent 7 days in darkness, isolation and silence where he experienced DMT-induced, psychedelic hallucinations.   - Based on his life experience and years of research in neuroscience, psychology and spirituality, written the book Fearvana, about which the Dalai Lama said “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” All the profits from the book are being donated to charity.   - Explored the most hostile environments on the planet, from mountains to underwater caves to polar icecaps - where he spent one month dragging a 190 pound sled 350 miles in temperatures as low as -40 degrees.   - Volunteered in leper colonies, worked with victims of sex trafficking, taught Fearvana to former child soldiers, done humanitarian work in post-conflict zones and worked with those in extreme poverty.

Akshay Nanavati has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles looking for bombs), depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide. Since then he has built a global business, run ultramarathons, including a 24 hour run and a 50 mile run around a cul-de-sac, spent 10 days in darkness and isolation, climbed mountains in the Himalayas, skied 350 miles across the world's 2nd largest icecap, and become 1 of only 26 people to ski up a remote glacier in Antarctica where he then got frostbite and lost one of his fingers. He is now a sponsored athlete despite 4 biological defects including a blood disorder that 2 doctors told him would kill him in boot camp. Combining his life experience with years of research in science and spirituality, he wrote the book “Fearvana," about which the Dalai Lama said “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” All the profits from the book are going toward charity. Akshay is now on a mission to help our human family fall in love with fear, stress, anxiety, pain and suffering in order to create a life of greater meaning, joy and fulfillment. He is also currently training for a solo, 110 day, 1700 mile, never-before accomplished crossing of Antarctica.

What an absolute blast talking with two of the most amazing human beings I have met during the Building Men Podcast Journey.  I talk with Akshay Nanavati and Kevin Demmons about intentional discomfort, fear, overcoming adversity, how the brain works...and shrikage.  Akshay Nanavati (Building Men Podcast Episode 116) has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting the war in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles to find bombs), depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide. Since then he has built a global business, run ultramarathons like a 24 hour run and a 50 miler around a cul-de-sac, become 1 of only 26 people to ski up the Axel Heiberg Glacier in Antarctica where he got frostbite on 3 fingers, conducted humanitarian work in post-conflict zones, spent 7 days in darkness, silence and isolation, and explored the most hostile environments on the planet, from mountains to caves to polar icecaps.Combining his life experience with years of research in science and spirituality, he wrote the book “Fearvana: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear Into Health, Wealth and Happiness." About the book, the Dalai Lama said “Fearvana inspires us to look beyond our own agonizing experiences and find the positive side of our lives.” All the profits from the book are going toward charity.The creator of the movement "Scarred and Unbeaten", Kevin Demmons (Building Men Podcast Episode 131) shares stories of his past, dealing with horrific abusive situations during his childhood, his experience in the military and how finding strength in his pain has transformed his life.  We start the process of creating an organization called: The Shrinkage Awareness Foundation.  Kevin started Scarred and Unbeaten because there is not enough discussion about post traumatic GROWTH!  According to Kevin, scars both physical and mental, are constant reminders of just how strong and resilient we truly are.   Fearvana.comFearvana InstagramScarred and Unbeaten Building Men InstagramBuilding Men WebsiteBuilding Men YouTubeBuilding Men FacebookWork with Dennis as your 1 on 1 coach The Foundation Virtual Coaching Group for Young MenIf our podcast resonates with you, please consider rating, reviewing and sharing it with anyone who you believe would benefit from the message.Visit our sponsors - Chop Club For MenFinish The Race – Home of the official Building Men gear

Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older: No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week. One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink. Abstinence from alcohol Abstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past. Benefits of “low-risk” drinking Following these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work.

When I then decided to join the United States Marine Corps, two doctors told me that boot camp would kill me, thanks to a blood disorder I was born with. But I wasn't about to let that stop me. Not only did I complete boot camp (with a twisted ankle, no less), but I was chosen as the honor graduate in Infantry school and went on to spend 7 months in Iraq where my job was to walk in front of our vehicle convoys to find explosives before they could destroy our vehicles.That was just the beginning of my understanding of the positive power of fear and struggle. In 2012, I left a comfortable corporate job to drag a 190-pound sled 350-miles across the world's second largest polar ice cap for a month. I've swam through underwater caves, almost been killed by a falling boulder while glacier caving, experienced severe altitude sickness while climbing in the Himalayas, and suffered through heat exhaustion while running across countries. But my greatest struggle came many years after the war. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and consequently struggled with depression and alcohol addiction that drove me to the brink of suicide. I then spent years studying neuroscience, psychology and spirituality to not only heal my own brain, but figure out what does it take to live a happy, succesful and meaningful life.That is when I rejected the label of PTSD assigned to me and created a new one – Fearvana. I define Fearvana as the bliss that results from engaging our fears to pursue our own worthy struggle. I then wrote a book about the concept called “Fearvana: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear Into Health, Wealth and Happiness.”Flex Diet Podcast SponsorThis podcast is brought to you by the Physiologic Flexibility Certification course.

Everyone experiences pain and suffering, and Akshay Nanavati has definitely had his fair share. He has a history of drug addiction and suffered from PTSD after fighting in Iraq as a Marine. After the war, depression and alcoholism pushed him to the brink of suicide. But in the end, Akshay didn't let those challenging times win and came out stronger for it. He overcame his fear and suffering, moving on to achieve great things. He consistently pushes the limits of his own worries, runs ultramarathons, and enters, instead of avoiding, hostile environments.
