You say yes, of course. But what about those other wild opportunities that you\u2019re not so sure about? In this episode, we talk to athletes and adventurers about how accepting an invitation led them to life-changing experiences. Jimmy Chin was an unknown dirtbag climber when Chouinard welcomed him into his California home and then took him surfing at a legendary break. Conrad Anker was an up-and-coming alpinist when he got a chance to represent the U.S. in a competition in Kyrgyzstan. Timmy O\u2019Neill was an emerging mountain athlete when he was asked to join an expedition that would conduct cataract surgeries in a remote area of Ethiopia. What they and our other guests all agree on: they wouldn\u2019t be who they are today if they hadn\u2019t dared to go for it.\nThis episode of the Outside Podcast is brought to you by Vans, makers of the ultimate summer shoe, the Vans UltraRange.
