Extreme Challenge = Personal Growth | The ByHand Project

From Alaska to Mexico, the hard way. In this episode, I interview Casey and Ryan Higginbotham, twin brothers who paddled from Alaska to Mexico using only their hands for 2,200 miles on 18ft paddleboards with no support crews or GPS. They carried all of their gear with them and were completely self-reliant. Casey and Ryan explain how they trained their minds to always have a positive attitude even when faced with near-death experiences and calorie deficiency. They discuss in-depth, the importance of placing your self in uncomfortable positions in order to grow as a person. And they discuss happiness, perseverance, teamwork, patience, and of course inspiration.
