About this episode
Today we’re sharing an episode from the Red Bull podcast: How to be Superhuman.
How To Be Superhuman is about pushing the limits of human potential, from conquering terrifying climbs and kayaking down jaw-dropping waterfalls to swimming the world’s longest rivers, running through uncharted mountain kingdoms, and embarking on solo expeditions to the most remote corners of the globe. In each episode, host Rob Pope and the athlete dive into the physical and mental resilience behind these awe-inspiring feats, offering immersive storytelling and insights into overcoming the world’s greatest challenges.
Today, extreme paraglider Tom de Dorlodot shares his passion for flying among the world’s highest mountain peaks. Hear what it takes to paraglide at extreme altitude, the survival mindset required, and why the spirit of adventure keeps drawing him back to unforgiving terrain.
