What Drives Us? Lessons from Rich Wilson

Scott and Meg discuss the Rich Wilson interview.

After our conversation with legendary sailor Rich Wilson, Scott and Meg sit down to unpack what stayed with them.From surviving months alone at sea on almost no sleep, to consuming 6,000 calories a day, training into the best shape of his life at 58, and returning to the Vendée Globe again at 66, Rich’s story raises a bigger question: what drives someone to keep choosing the hard thing?We talk about the power of community, the role of discomfort, the need to prove something to ourselves, and why understanding our own “why” may matter more as we get older—not less.There’s also plenty of falong the way: Fig Newtons, lasagna, apple fritters, French techno, questionable memory, and an unexpected golden retriever appearance.If you listened to our interview with Rich Wilson, this is the conversation after the conversation—the lessons, laughs, and ideas we’re still thinking about.
