Love reading the beautiful analogies that draw a parallel with a “day in life” at Chick-fil-A. Perfect work-life balance. Keep climbing.

This is awesome! Great parallels you illustrate between (ambitious, yet judicious) high altitude climbing & the life of folks in the software dev arena or startup world.

Alex Honnold [Free Solo] gave a Keynote at EDA Summit 2023 earlier this year, which was a super neat interview offering a glimpse inside his brain & how he approaches climbing/decision making. Brian, I bet he would agree with much of what you wrote here in your substack!!

You may have also checked out these climbing documentaries (all solid)... Meru, 14 Peaks, The Alpinist. I've heard that "Dirtbag" is an excellent film too.

*Brian, what related books or documentaries you would recommend? Thx & great post :)
