The fight-or-flight reflex is always lurking just below the surface. When things get sufficiently stressful, our hormonal system dumps enormous amounts of adrenaline into our bloodstream, and—BOOM—suddenly we're ready for action. That adrenaline serves a purpose: it elevates your heart rate, makes you much stronger, more pain tolerant, and able to ignore injury. If you ever have to lift a car off a child, you don't want to be calm. Instead, you want to be mad, scared, enraged—whatever it takes to get into that adrenaline-soaked state of high arousal to lift the damn car with your bare hands. But that superhuman strength comes at a cost; as adrenaline floods your system, you lose a significant amount of fine motor control and higher brain function. Take whatever IQ you started with and cut it in half.

Today, we take an unforgettable journey into the frozen grounds of resilience with our guest, Stephen Kesting. Stephen is not only a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and renowned martial arts educator but also an intrepid adventurer whose life story combines the thrill of wilderness survival with profound insights into personal strength and perseverance. In this episode, Stephen recounts his gripping survival journey through the subarctic wilderness, a story captured in his book "Perseverance: Life and Death in the Subarctic." We explore themes of mental toughness, the dichotomy between happiness and satisfaction, and the parallels between wilderness survival and tackling life's adversities.  Join us as we delve into the lessons learned from striking out into the wild, embracing adversity, and finding strength through endurance.   Key Takeaways: Embrace Self-Doubt: Recognizing self doubt as a natural part of challenging situations allows you to acknowledge and overcome it. It's not about denying it, but about seeing it for what it really is – a temporary visitor. Preparation is Key: Whether tackling major projects or surviving the wild, preparation is paramount. This includes research, planning, and acknowledging potential pitfalls while having contingency plans ready. Satisfaction Over Happiness: Success isn't always about immediate happiness. It's about the satisfaction of achieving long-term goals and overcoming obstacles, which can be a greater guide in life's journey.   Steven Kesting: https://www.grapplearts.com Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/StephanKesting   This episode of the ARCHITECT of RESILIENCE podcast is available on Apple, Spotify & YouTube, and is sponsored by: @marekhealth : Performance.

I've got something special for you today: a true adventure story set in the Far North featuring that I underwent a few years ago after a kidney transplant.  I ended up learning a LOT about mental toughness, resilience, and strategies for making progress when I was absolutely at the end of my rope, lessons that I think are universally applicable. The book out today in hardcover, Kindle, and Audible audiobook formats. Since this is a podcast, I thought I'd give you the first three chapters in audio form, including an incident so embarrassing that I almost didn't include it in the book at all. If you grab the hardcover this week, I'll make sure you get a signed copy!  If you get the Kindle or audiobook format, then you'll get my thanks and undying gratitude.   You can get it at your local bookstore but you also get it at ALL the big online sites, including these links here at Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com, In Canada you can get it at Amazon.ca or Indigo.ca. In the UK  it comes out a little later, but you can still preorder it at any of the links on  simonandschuster.co.uk. I hope you enjoy consuming this book in your favorite format it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you! Thanks so much, Stephan Kesting P.S.

In this episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck Thuss sits down with Stephan Kesting, a man whose story of survival, resilience, and self-discovery will leave you deeply inspired. Stephan, known for his expertise in martial arts and his popular online presence as a BJJ instructor, shares a side of his life that many haven't heard—his journey of loss, a life-saving kidney transplant, and a 42-day solo expedition through the unforgiving Canadian Subarctic. Stephan's story is not just about the physical challenges of navigating a thousand miles of wilderness; it's about confronting grief, mortality, and the profound lessons that come from time spent alone with one's thoughts. His upcoming book, Perseverance: Life and Death in the Subarctic, documents this life-changing adventure and the mental, emotional, and spiritual transformation it brought. A Journey Born from Loss and Survival Stephan opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his two younger brothers, a tragedy that left an unfillable void in his heart. As if that weren't enough, he was also diagnosed with a genetic kidney condition that ultimately led to a transplant—a gift of life from his brother. This life-altering experience, paired with his grief, prompted Stephan to embark on a solo canoe trip through the remote Northern wilderness in 2019. For 42 days, Stephan battled unpredictable rapids, bear encounters, forest fires, and the overwhelming solitude of isolation. But this wasn't just an outdoor adventure—it was a journey inward. With every paddle stroke upriver and every storm he weathered, Stephan processed his trauma, came to terms with his near-death experience, and found a deeper sense of peace and purpose. The Mental Battle of Solitude In the silence of the wilderness, there are no distractions—just you and your thoughts. Stephan describes the mental challenges of being entirely cut off from the world, with no phone, no social media, and no human contact. He shares how, at times, the loneliness felt unbearable, but those moments also gave him clarity. He realized that grief doesn't go away—it becomes part of us. But rather than allowing it to weigh him down, Stephan chose to let it fuel his journey of growth and self-discovery. Through the lens of his wilderness experience, he encourages listeners to embrace life's challenges rather than run from them, reminding us that the hardest moments often bring the greatest growth. Lessons from the Wilderness Stephan's expedition taught him powerful lessons that apply far beyond the wilderness: Resilience is built through action: You don't need to feel strong to take the next step—just take it. Solitude reveals clarity: Time alone can help us process emotions we often suppress. Nature is a powerful healer: Stephan found that the vastness of the wilderness helped put his grief and life's struggles into perspective. Life is fragile and precious: His near-death experience and the loss of his brothers served as stark reminders that life can change in an instant. A New Purpose Through Pain Today, Stephan continues to teach martial arts, inspire others through his storytelling, and share the lessons he's learned about resilience and mental health. His upcoming book, Perseverance: Life and Death in the Subarctic, dives deeper into his expedition and the life lessons he hopes will help others navigate their own storms. He reminds us all that we don't have to face life's challenges alone—and that sometimes, stepping away from the noise of the world can help us reconnect with what truly matters. Listen to the full episode for more of Stephan's incredible journey, his practical insights on resilience, and the lessons he learned from his time alone in the wilderness.   GUEST LINKS: Get The Book:  https://www.amazon.com/Perseverance-Death-Subarctic-Stephan-Kesting Martial Arts/BJJ site: grapplearts.com IG @‌stephan_kesting: Instagram (@stephan_kesting) YT @‌stephankesting: Stephan Kesting Outdoors site: www.essentialwilderness.com IG @‌essentialwilderness: Instagram (@essentialwilderness) YT @‌essentialwilderness: Essential Wilderness - Stephan Kesting   LINKS: www.thecompassionateconnection.com www.warriorsunmasked.com  Join Chuck's Text Community: 251-418-7966   Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Introduction: Trauma, Triumph, and Today's Guest, Stephan Kesting 02:22 – Stephan shares his lifelong connection to the wilderness 04:50 – The devastating loss of two brothers and how it shaped his path 07:30 – Discovering a genetic kidney condition and the journey to transplant 09:45 – The mental and emotional toll of watching his health decline 12:15 – The life-saving gift: a kidney donation from his brother 14:30 – Processing grief through wilderness trips and solo adventures 17:00 – Navigating fear, risk, and self-doubt in the Canadian Subarctic 20:30 – Insights on mortality and the importance of living with urgency 25:45 – The 42-day, 1,000-mile solo expedition: challenges and lessons 30:10 – Wrestling with mental exhaustion, joy, and the extremes of emotion 35:20 – Practical insights on resilience and perseverance from the journey 40:15 – The impact of wilderness solitude on mental health 44:00 – Stephan's new book Perseverance: Life and Death in the Subarctic 48:00 – Final thoughts on trauma, time, and how nature can help us heal 53:00 – Chuck's Challenge: Detaching decisions from outcomes and living with purpose

Paul Kindzia describes himself as a "homeschooled, non-denominational, it takes a village black belt" and had a very unique route to getting his BJJ black belt.  He was a ronin, training at different schools and did a lot of his training in his home dojo. This paid off because he was a top IBJJF Masters competitor at blue, purple, and brown belt, before being awarded his black belt by a coalition of other black belts (myself included) in October of 2024. In this episode we talk about so many things, including - How to get really good if you don't train at a top-tier school - Key aspects of training safely - How to say no to training with people who don't have your best interests at heart - What you need to do to calibrate your skills if you mainly train one-on-one - Cult-like dynamics at some BJJ schools - What professional BJJ competitors do that sets them apart - How to get promoted if you train independently - How jiu-jitsu training has changed in the last 10 years - And so much more. For more about Paul's jiu-jitsu journey check out his site, The Balanced Grappler (https://www.thebalancedgrappler.com/) and his book, Master Jiu-Jitsu, Master Life (https://www.amazon.com/Master-Jiu-Jitsu-Life-Extraordinary-Through/dp/069216197X) Please give this episode a thumbs up and share it with someone else you think might enjoy it.

Many of you have likely noticed the growing interest in Greenland making headlines recently, including the U.S.'s overt interest in potentially “acquiring” the country. As we've followed these developments, we have been intrigued to explore further and were fortunate to connect with Dr. Mark Nuttall, Professor and Henry Marshall Tory Chair of Anthropology at the University of Alberta and Adjunct Professor at the Greenland Climate Research Centre. Mark joined the University of Alberta faculty in 2003 and became affiliated with the University of Greenland and the Greenland Climate Research Centre in 2012. He holds a Ph.D. in Arctic Anthropology and his research focuses on the societies and environments of the circumpolar North and Northern Europe. Mark is also the author of several books, including his most recent, “The Shaping of Greenland's Resource Spaces: Environment, Territory, Geo-Security.” We were delighted to host Mark for an insightful discussion on Greenland's global significance. We covered a wide range of topics in our conversation, beginning with Mark's personal interest and extensive history studying Greenland and the Arctic and Subarctic regions. We discuss the historical context of Greenland's status and its complex relationship with Denmark, including economic policies, relocation programs, and cultural assimilation efforts that have contributed to Greenlandic attitudes toward Denmark. We explore Greenland's strategic importance in U.S. and global security strategies dating back to World War II and the Cold War, concerns about how Greenlandic independence could increase foreign influence, particularly from Western adversaries, and Greenland's economic considerations and resource development. Mark shares insights into Greenland's regulatory framework and ownership of its subsurface resources, the potential for developing these resources, Greenlanders' right to self-determination and their cultural and political aspirations for independence, the U.S.'s longstanding interest in Greenland, and its significance in Arctic shipping lanes. We cover challenges for Greenland's economic independence, including its financial reliance on the Danish block grant, which accounts for 60% of Greenland's public budget and 20% of its GDP, implications for Denmark if Greenland achieves independence, and concerns about the social and environmental impacts of large-scale resource extraction on small communities. We also explore whether independence might lead to shifts in policies for oil and gas exploration to support Greenland's economy, the challenges of balancing tourism growth with infrastructure constraints, the unique system of land and resource ownership in Greenland, and more. We greatly appreciate Mark for sharing his deep expertise and perspectives. It was a fantastic discussion.Mike Bradley opened the conversation by noting that markets are mostly focused on two near-term events: U.S. economic reports this week and Trump's Executive Orders in the coming weeks. On the bond market front, December PPI printed lower than expected on Tuesday and surprisingly pushed the 10-year bond yield higher (~4.8%) which is the highest 10-year yield since Trump was elected. Investors appear much more focused on Wednesday's December CPI report which could result in added market volatility. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 is down ~2% over the last week and has almost completely roundtripped since Trump was elected. Over the last week, Energy was the best performing S&P sector (+4%) with Technology the worst performing (-5%). On the crude oil market front, WTI price has rallied another $4/bbl (~$78/bbl) this week due to stiffer Russian oil sanctions from the Biden Administration which could ultimately reduce Russian oil exports by 0.5-1.0mmbpd. He noted that these unexpected Russian oil sanctions plus the potential for Iranian oil sanctions under Trump could result in global oil markets going fr

This podcast episode covers all the details and preparations for a long solo trip in the Arctic that I'm starting today! After 30 hours of driving and a 2 hour bush plane flight to Nueltin Lake I'll be heading north of the treeline direct into the Barren Lands of the Arctic. Once there, I'll be completely alone and out of touch for 30 days. The only written description of the river is a few pages in a book written by a missionary in the late 1800's. The trip spans the Thlewiaza, The-Tinne, Kognak and Tha-Anne rivers and will probably include caribou and bear encounters, whitewater and giant ice-covered lakes, and insanely complex navigational challenges. Once the trip is underway, I'll be sharing a few photos from the field a small satellite device So if you're interested in adventure and how well jiu-jitsu works against giant Hudson Bay Polar Bears then follow along! The best place to stay current is probably on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/essentialwilderness/), although this page on Essential Wilderness (https://tinyurl.com/nunavutsolo) should have a map that updates with my location once I'm on the water  I believe that pictures from this trip will also get cross-posted on Threads (https://www.threads.net/@stephan_kesting) Tiktok (https://www.tiktok.com/@essentialwilderness), and  Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/@essentialwilderness/community) I'll be back to the world and jiu-jitsu in late July.

Are you feeling a little sluggish? If so, call on the medicine of the grouse to work with rhythm, movement and drumming, to open new energy pathways in your life, you'll be amazed at how much better you feel with physical movement. The grouse has many different meanings from active parenting, to music, to strength to energy, to healing, to rhythm, and even romance. The grouse is a small bird related to chickens, partridges and quails. It is a game bird often hunted in cold snowy areas like Canada, parts of North America, the subArctic and Arctic. They are very territorial and can be aggressive when threatened, as well as adaptable in overcoming challenges and different unusual situations. They are known for the rhythmic drumming sounds of their mating call when flapping their wings. Except during mating season, they tend to travel alone. Overall, the grouse has many symbolic meanings, enchantment, trustworthiness, teaching, good fortune, healing feathers, righteous warrior, honesty, justice, active parenting, strength, energy, romance and especially music.

Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice, the most peaceful country in the world 15 years running, and – unfortunately for Big Mac fans – has zero McDonald's. And, this year, it's the fellowship destination for seven Fund for Teachers Fellows. Ranging in topic from sustainability and geothermal energy to yoga and elves, grant recipients from Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, and Virginia will learn within the Arctic Circle this summer. Before Fellows begin embarking on their experiential learning, we connect them with other grant recipients who plan to be in the same region or conference. Just this week on our Instagram we shared photos of Fellows meeting up in Egypt, Dallas, Guatemala and Salamanca. However, a driving rain in Reykjavik (and five layers of coats) prevented two Fellows from recognizing each other this week. When one posted a picture, we spotted them both and reached out to coordinate a call and compare notes. And for the next hour, we finagled enough Wifi to enjoy a fascinating conversation with about divergent experiences and intended impact from these exemplary educators. Editing it down was a struggle.Today we're learning from Laura Nunn, teacher at Patrick Henry Elementary and Instructional Support Leader for Chicago Public Schools, and Frances Rivera, teacher at Ernie Pyle Elementary School in Indianapolis. Frances is in Iceland exploring issues of global warming, biological and cultural conservation, and sustainable development, to develop tools for teaching these issues in a Dual Language classroom. While Laura is there studying the folklore of elves and fairies said to inhabit and protect the Subarctic'snatural landforms and attending the Reykjavik Elf School, then walking sacred sites with scientists and storytellers. She plans to build a cross-curricular unit on what value stories have and how nature impacts the stories we tell.For three years, I've started this podcast in the same way with the same question: Why did you become a teacher? This time, the three of us were so excited to connect that we didn't get around to this question for a bit – but their answers are worth the wait…

Today we are up in Labrador speaking with Dr. Scott Neilson, an archaeologist and faculty member of the Subarctic and Arctic Studies with the Labrador Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland. This interview takes place on an active excavation site within the community of Sheshatshiu, Labrador. Scott and I discuss the advantages of having students, researchers and community members participating in an active excavation site, specifically as a possible way of connecting the western approach of archaeological history with the Innu peoples approaches to their story. In this discussion Dr. Neilson also puts emphasis on his role as a researcher in service which he describes, as research that is foremostly driven by the community's needs and is initiated by invitation by community members rather than by the researcher request to explore questions formulated within a western framework.

Sometimes adventure looks like picking up and moving 5000 miles away from your home to live in the subarctic. Four years ago, Kristen Berkeley was living in Toronto and blogging about fashion, makeup, and cooking. On a whim, she took a job in Yellowknife, a small city in the Northwest Territories of Canada. As a Black woman, Kristen was a bit nervous to move to a city that lacked the diversity of home, but she found herself surprised along the way. Yellowknife ended up being her gateway to incorporating the outdoors into her adventurous spirit, and she's since started a company called Amplify Outdoors to help invite and uplift more Black, Indigenous, and People of Colors into the otudoors with her.About Kristen: Kristen Berkeley (she/her) is originally from Toronto and has been living in the Northwest Territories for nearly four years.

These friendly whales don't look like the rest of its family, butother than it's size, it's not completely different. The beluga whale can be found in Arctic and Subarctic waters. Theclimate there has long winters and is quite cold. These whales eat many typesof fish, shrimp, crabs, and krill. Like most other whales, the way they findfood is by foraging in the water. The beluga whale is big, so it doesn't have many naturalpredators, but polar bears and killer whales prey on them. The way it defends itselfis by blending into the ice caps. But the beluga whale is actually quite afriendly animal. They have a population of around 150,000 individuals. Thesebelugas live for around 30-50 years in the wild, and can start mating by theage of 7-9. Scientists have called whales the smallest whale species. Evenstill, they are still pretty large. They have a length of 14 feet and weighapproximately 3,000 pounds. It is a moon white color and has a bulbous head,and chubby torso. For wild suzhou i'm palm tree and thank you for listening.

It is that time here in Alaska. People along the road system, river beds, tundra, mountains and cities are preparing and heading out for the fall big game hunt. Excitement stirs in the air as whisperings of moose and caribou float on the wind. Hopes for filled freezers weigh heavy on the mind. In this episode community leader, scholar, and activist Eva Dawn Burk and I discuss the right to hunt for moose, being asked to show up as a leader for ones community, and the politics of the Alaska Board of Game.More about Eva's projects: Rock Crossing Consulting https://rock-crossing-consulting.business.site/#summaryHigh Country News: "Will a Native-led initiative spur an agricultural revolution in rural Alaska?"By Max Graham https://www.hcn.org/issues/53.6/indigenous-affairs-agriculture-will-a-native-led-initiative-spur-an-agricultural-revolution-in-rural-alaskaMIT Solve Challenge: Food From Fire https://solve.mit.edu/challenges/2020-indigenous-communities-fellowship/solutions/25846Mentioned in this episode - Alaska Just Transition Coalition : justtransitionak.org Singing Nettle Farm: http://www.singingnettle.farm/Become an OTL Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/ontheland

This week’s episode is all about the Moose. But why is the plural not Meese?  Really, someone, please explain it to us. The moose (what we call it in North America) or elk (what they call it everywhere else) are the largest member of the deer family, and a bull’s antlers can be up to seven feet long. But first: Better Than Human stands with the Asian Community, condemning any violence against Asians and Asian Americans. Racism and bigotry have no place in this world. #StopAsianHateThen guess who’s sadly back in town? It’s Murder Hornets…. Yes, they never went away, but it’s spring, the Queens waking up, getting ready to leave the mother hive and start their own nest and we must stop their spread in North America. If you live on the west coast and see one, please report it at https://agr.wa.gov/hornetsMoose are cold-adapted mammals with thickened skin, and heat-retaining coats. Moose can be found mostly in Canada, the Northern States in the US, and Russia. Since the 1990s, moose populations have been declining in much of temperate North America, but they remain stable in Arctic and subarctic regions, this is most likely due to the results of climate change. Moose are generally slow and mild tempered, but can become aggressive, and move quickly if angered or startled. Like any wild animal, just leave them be. Listen now to learn about the Moose, not Meese, the giant mammals of Northern World. For more information on us, visit our website at betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcaston TikTok  @ https://www.tiktok.com/@l_a_mander https://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdness

Re-air from 2019. Our Thanksgiving show, plucked from the DU Magazine archives (Nov/Dec 2007), is a humorous story about the idiosyncrasies of waterfowl hunters. "Duck Blind Intervention" written by Doug Larson and narrated by Tom Gallagher. www.ducks.org/dupodcast

In March, Buck Miller, Eric Batty and Ryan Atkins covered all 721 km of the Wapusk trail by fat bike. The trail is the world’s longest winter road, which runs between Peawanuck, Ont., and Gillam, Man. Sections of the trail are close to Hudson Bay. Last year, they rode along James Bay, a trip they called the James Bay Descent. The Wapusk trail trip was longer and more remote. RELATED Lessons from the James Bay Descent This year’s trip is not only a fascinating adventure but it speaks to the challenges we are facing today. It’s also about challenges—both environmental and societal—that we'll face in the near future. When Miller, Batty and Atkins went into the woods, the world was one way. When they got out, it was completely different. To learn more about the expedition’s charitable component at True North Aid.

Matthias Breiter is an internationally renowned author, Emmy nominated cinematographer and wildlife photographer. He has spent most of the last 30 years studying bears and is considered one of the greatest authorities on bears. Holding an advanced degree in biology, he is presently completing his doctorate on brown bears in Alaska. The author of nearly twenty books, he has appeared as a guest lecturer at the Smithsonian Institution. Matthias Breiter’s award-winning nature photographs have appeared in National Geographic, GEO, BBC Wildlife, Terre Sauvage and numerous other publications worldwide. He is a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and a fellow of the prestigious Explorer’s Club, both in recognition of his contribution to our scientific knowledge of bears and the Arctic. Matthias is also a founding member of the International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP), and remains deeply involved with conservation efforts involving the American and Canadian Arctic and Subarctic. He resides in Kenora ON when he’s not walking with bears.

We recently found this article at the Matador Network website: 17 female travel photographers who slayed 2017and it got us thinking that we should have more women on the show. I know we always strive to be as inclusive as possible, but sometimes it’s hard to think of female photographers in an industry that is very much male-dominated, so we were more than happy to have so many names to pick potential guests from. By the way, the list was compiled by our good friend and past guest, Kate Siobhan Mulligan, so thank you Kate!Anyway, we found some names on that list that we hadn’t heard of previously and discovered some great work and fascinating insights into the world of travel photography by looking at their websites, so we started sending out invites to some of them and this is how we got to know our guest of this week, Taylor Roades.Taylor is a self taught travel photographer based in Vancouver British Columbia; originally from Toronto, ON. Photography has taken her across Asia, and South America. She says she’s lugged too much gear through the Rocky Mountains, Patagonia, and the SubArctic.Travel is what is what sparked her interest in photography, but it is telling stories of conservation, people, adventure, and culture that keeps her interested.She works on a variety of editorial, commercial and reportage style assignments with companies and organizations that share a vision for sustainability and an appreciation for story.

This week we turn southwards to the Subarctic. We basically cover Canada up to the arrival of the Europeans.

As the Arctic warms, the limits of where trees can grow are slowly shifting up mountains and further north. Researchers at the Kluane Lake Research Station in Yukon, Canada are trying to determine the range of environmental conditions that control the position of the tree line and ultimately forecast the position of the tree line in the future.

In the third episode of the Climate History Podcast, Dr. Dagomar Degroot (Georgetown University) interviews Dr. Thomas McGovern (CUNY) and Dr. George Hambrecht (University of Maryland) about archaeology in the Arctic and Subarctic. Topics include: the perils of doing fieldwork in the Far North; the struggles of the Norse in Greenland and Iceland at the onset of the Little Ice Age; the threat of climate change to the archaeological record of northern peoples; and the possibilities (and challenges) of interdisciplinary approaches to Arctic research.
