How to reach your goals while preventing costly mistakes Skip Horner has spent the past 50 years leading expeditions in the world’s most remote, inaccessible and dangerous places. He was the first mountaineer in history to successfully guide clients up the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. In addition to his incredible abilities as an alpinist, Paddler Magazine nominated Skip as one of the top whitewater guides of the 20th century — having led numerous first-ever descents on eleven major rivers, including the Yangtze, the Zambezi and the Indus. As a professional adventurer, planning for risk — for danger, for the unexpected — is essential if you want to come home alive. Skip attributes his long career and his record of never having lost a client while in the wild to meticulous planning before he embarks on an expedition. Planning in advance allows him and his team to react swiftly when surprises arise, and often to notice adverse conditions developing early and resolve them before they worsen. In this podcast, Skip shares his best practices for risk management, many of which universally apply to all dimensions of life including personal safety and financial security. And he drives these lessons home with white-knuckle stories from his personal adventures, when his life was held in the balance. This interview is a little different than our usual fare, but will likely be one of the more riveting ones you listen to this year. And extremely relevant to Peak Prosperity’s core theme of the criticality of preparing for crisis in advance.

Well, we're beginning to understand the risks. First the good news: children under 10 do indeed appear to transmit the virus to others much less often than adults do. Though the transmission rate is not zero. Now the bad news: kids between 10 and 19 transmit the virus at the same rate as do adults. So the short answer is: if you send your kids back to a school where they're interacting with others, you should be assume the odds are good they'll get infected at some point. Prepare your household accordingly. Make sure your kids have masks/sanitizers/etc, are urged to respect social distancing, and boost their immune system with a healthy diet and plenty of sleep. But have a home quarantine plan in place, including distancing your kid from at-risk populations (like elderly grandparents), in case they fall ill.

If you want your own RESILIENCE shirt to proudly wear like Chris, go to: https://www.peakprosperity.com/shirts After nine months of intensive coverage of the covid-19 pandemic, it's time to start focusing these videos on other subjects just as important to our future well-being. But before I do, what have we learned over the course of these coronavirus videos? Well, for starters: we thankfully know a good deal at this point how the SARS2 virus infects people and how to treat it cheaply and effectively (even if world governments refuse to do so). The virus has revealed a profound lack of integrity amongst our "leaders" and public health institutions. I don't think that trust will be easily regained -- if ever -- in our lifetime. But while we didn't get *everything* right in our coverage, I'm pretty darn impressed with how far out front of the mainstream media we've consistently been. Putting out these videos, 5/week through May and then 2/week afterwards has been the most intensive effort of my life. Given all of the messages of gratitude Adam and I have received from our viewers, and the stories of how this information may have protected and saved lives around the world -- all the effort was definitely worth it.
