Listen: Kai Lenny and Rich Roll on How to Use Fear as Fuel
"In order to pass through heaven you have to go through hell."
"In order to get to the other side of fear you have to pass right through it."
Those are just two examples of how Maui waterman Kai Lenny feels about fear. In the latest Rich Roll Podcast, episode 771, “Kai Lenny, Fear is Full,” he talks about motivation, accomplishments, and how his daughters have made his performance better.
The clip was captioned:
Today’s guest is the greatest and most versatile waterman the world has ever known.
Meet Kai Lenny, a Maui-born and bred athlete of extraordinary skill who pushes the boundaries of possibility at the highest levels in not just surfing—performing maneuvers and aerials never believed possible with regularity—but also as a kiteboarder, foiler, outrigger canoer, and as big wave rider.
Kai doesn’t just ride the world’s most fearsome waves—he conquers them. Like a maestro of the ocean who channels nature’s ferocity into art, he carves down 80-foot plus cliffs of water with physics-defying maneuvers previously thought only possible on small waves with a flair, joy, and an intensity that can only be described as balletic. He’s the GOAT and he’s here today to let us in on his crazy world, the visualization and mindset tools he uses to hone his craft, and what the future holds both for himself and the sport of surfing.
There’s a lot to be learned from Kai’s experience, his pursuit of mastery, and his approach to physical, mental, and emotional excellence.
