Deep Roots

Found the story of Damien on some obscure news flash! What a brilliant encounter that was. I’ve been watching and listening since they left NY!! I live in the middle of nowhere outside Yosemite National Park….. he’s accomplishing something I could never imagine! His “chop wood, carry water” saying has gotten me through some very tough health issues in the last 3 months. Cheers Damien, cheers 🎉

What an unbelievable journey and an unbelievable podcast. I love getting the daily updates from Damians endeavor. So interesting to get a psychological inside into his highs and lows. Nearly there Damian, keep to the good work 👍 Charlotte, NC, USA

I am not an ocean rower nor an extreme athlete nor a big fitness buff. However, I am a life buff… I’m so many times I have heard Damian share nuggets of wisdom that helped me in my day, as well as my continuously growing worldview and life philosophy. Ocean rowing is a great metaphor for life… chop wood and carry water all the way through enlightenment and to the other side! Damian is a master of mind control, and this is some thing I struggle with, so I am always interested in hearing how he gets through the most difficult, taxing, boring, repetitive, non-favored tasks and still identifies meaning in the experience.My own journey is one of sobriety and recovery, which is a lifelong practice requiring much self reflection, goalsetting, and humility. I started following Damian during his first ocean row because I happen to have a connection to Antigua from my past and there were Antiguan rowers in the race he was doing, I got hooked thru social media. But I’m glad I’ve stayed along for the journey, looking forward to many more adventures! Thank you, sir! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Damian is such an inspiration. Full of courage and strength to cross the North Atlantic Ocean against all odds. His focus and dedication is truly amazing and very very people can succeed in this monumental task.
