How Running Toward Yourself Changes Everything | Cory Richards & Blake Mycoskie

I had talked about my bipolar diagnosis and anxiety and depression.

You had.

Yeah.

I started doing that really, uh, forward-facing in 2016.

Okay.

And one of the first times that I really articulated it to a mass public was when we were doing Everest No Filter-

Okay

... with Adrian Ballinger, and then we did Charlie Rose after that.

Okay.

Uh, and he asked the question-

What about how much did this episode result, you think, from the avalanche and the PTSD from the avalanche, which was what, 10 years before this?

Yeah, it was in 2011, so yeah, it was, um-

So how, did that play an impact on this or not really?

even if you're not outwardly doing it, and I think that was part of this.

The stress of the rejection of self-

Yeah

... will, will inevitably resol- try to resolve itself.
