Eric Gilbertson is attempting to climb every country's high point. He's two-thirds done.
Each high point has either a technical/physical challenge (e.g., K2 & Everest) and/or a bureaucratic challenge.
In this episode, Eric discusses three country high points that mainly have a bureaucracy that is stopping him, not the lack of oxygen.
I've climbed Chad's and Libya's high points, so I know what he's talking about.
Listen to discover why I could do it but why Eric has been blocked.
Let me know if you want to join us on a future hike up these two mountains.
He also talks about Bhutan's sacred summit.
His clone (Matthew Gilbertson) is joining him for most of the mountains. You can follow these twins on Instagram.

Book cover:
My favorite section of the book was when he wrote about the Quest to Learn (Q2L) school, which serves grades 6-12. It is designed around games. It emphasizes 7 principles:
1. Everyone is a participant.
2. Challenge is constant.
3. Learning happens by doing.
4. Feedback is immediate and ongoing.
5. Failure is reframed as "iteration."
6. Everything is interconnected.
7. It kind of feels like play,
This may be the future of instruction.

This is Part 1 of 4 episodes featuring Fabrizio Beverina, an Italian adventurer, scientist, and future ayahuasca shaman.
Fabrizio reminds me of Francois Xavier Paradis-Garneau, who I interviewed last year & will interview again. Both are world travelers who aren't pursuing the narcissistic goal of visiting all the world's countries (I'm guilty of this) but are drawn to areas that are extremely foreign to their upbringing. It's quality vs. quantity—profound travel experiences rather than checking off lists.
I met Fabrizio in Niger, where we stayed with the generous and hospitable Malah Abdou. The Sahara destroyed our trucks. We waited for an incompetent Portuguese mechanic to waste our time and money.
Enjoy this 4-part series & share it!
