    #15 with Mark Twight

    From extreme mountaineering to training Hollywood's elite, Mark Twight's journey has been anything but straightforward. He has reinvented himself countless times, often more than he acknowledges, delving deep into his core to gradually accept himself. Facing and overcoming challenges can leave lasting marks, sometimes making one hard and unyielding, with little room for inspiration. However, maintaining sensitivity and staying in touch with one's ever-changing environment fosters dynamic growth rather than becoming rigid and static. Tune into this enlightening and inspiring podcast episode where no emotion, no experience nor wisdom falls short.  Thank youMark and Matthias for sharing.
