Alchemy Podcast - You Only Live Once Alchemy Podcast

Welcome to the Alchemy Podcast. We have a very special guest with us today, Mr. Tim Emmett. Tim is a professional ice climber, rock climber, former pro base jumper, author, speaker, and father. He is also a pretty bad-ass freediver himself, we've dove together in freezing waters, beneath icebergs in Iceland and Greenland. Tim has an incredible life story to tell, traveling the world for climbing, from deep water soloing in Vietnam, to climbing remote boulders in Mongolia and ice climbing the hardest route ever seen by humans. 

What can we learn from Tim for us in the freediving world? Well, Tim happens to be an elite athlete, a performer at the top of his game. The kind of mind we need to develop when climbing Everest or being hundreds of meters on a rock wall, is very similar to the kind of competitive mind freedivers need to focus. In this podcast, we'll chat about almost dying in base jumping accidents, breathing techniques when ice climbing, a flow state of mind, peak performance concentration, and many more topics in the "extreme sports" world. 

Tim and I have been friends and adventures for a few years now, and we are fascinated by the connection between freediving and climbing, the mountains and the sea. Tune in, and find out more.
