Learning To Fail With Bear Grylls & BecomingX

Bear Grylls, the ardent explorer, joins Kevin via iPhone from an island somewhere off the coast of Wales. In this story-filled episode, Kevin shares the most adventurous thing he has ever done, his recent frequent interactions with bears (the animal) and the delicacy of "haggis" vs "scrapple". The two discuss the spirit of adventure, how one becomes a survivalist, and the importance of teaching kids how to fail. They are joined by Paul Gurney who shares why they started BecomingX and the importance of giving people the tools they need to be the best version of themselves.
