Questions Answered About Early Development of The Warrior’s Way

https://warriorsway.com/questions-ans...

My colleagues at Rock/Creek Outfitters invited me to participate in their Day Fire Podcast recently. A lot of questions came up about how I was influenced early on by others and early development of The Warrior’s Way®. Below are some questions that were answered on the podcast. Enjoy the listen: 

How was I inspired to begin climbing?
How did I manage fear early on? 
What guided my interest in doing first ascents? 
Who inspired me when I started climbing in the 1970s? 
How did I educate myself on using protection, belaying, and risk-taking prior to all the training books? 
How did I deal with my fear to do those bold routes on Whitesides? 
How did I arrive at the decision to begin teaching about mental training? 
What is our responsibility for creating a career? Who are we responsible for; who are we responsible to? 
How many students did I have during the first year of teaching? 
What are the foundational principles of The Warrior’s Way®? 
How do these foundational principles fit into the three-phases of risk-taking? 
What is situational awareness and what situations do we need to be aware of?
What is the foundational thing we want students to learn in the Falling & Commitment clinic? 
Why do our climbing partners say “You’ve got it?” and what are the possible negative consequences of saying that? 
How does honesty impact mental training and appropriate risk-taking? 
What kind of structure can you use to guide your partner to support you as you need to be supported? 
How do I discipline myself to write regularly? Do I write when my spirit moves me or daily at 9am? 
What first ascent am I most proud of? 
Day Fire podcast likes to end the podcast with a story. I like pithy Zen stories so I shared one and tied it into what it means to have a warrior mindset.
