Training for physical fitness and athletic competition – running, cycling, swimming, walking, weight-lifting, hiking, etc. – or even engaging in these activities just for fun can help us build resilience and bounce back from difficult times. Jay Thompson, and his 1700 miles on the Appalachian Trail, are perfect examples of this! All those miles give you a lot of time to thing, and to draw comparisons between hiking, life, and work. In this episode, Jay share about his most recent hike of 150+ miles in 10 days, and what he distilled from that journey.
