005: Nick Hardwick - Broadcaster and Former San Diego Charger Jul 07, 2017

Show notes

Nick Hardwick is a former San Diego Charger who played 11 years in the NFL, made the Pro Bowl in 2006, is the co-host of sports talk radio XTRA 1360 in San Diego and was just hired to be on the broadcast team for the Chargers as they relocate to LA.
This is a super-interesting interview as Nick didn’t play high school football and walked on at Purdue after his sophomore year of college. Who does that and is drafted in the 3rd round? Nick Hardwick does!
Mark was fortunate to meet Nick in Tanzania on their Waterboy.org climb up Kilimanjaro as they raised funds to build water wells for the Maasai Tribe in the Serengeti.

It's All In A State Of Mind
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It's almost a "cinch" you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world you find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
Full many a race is lost
Ere ever a step is run;
And many a coward fails
Ere ever his work's begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind,
Think that you can and you will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins,
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
-Walter D. Wintle

Show notes

Mark travels to Ashford, Washington to interview climbing legend Lou Whittaker. At 88 years young, he is as sassy and vibrant as he was in his 20’s. Lou talks about his early climbing days at Mt Rainier, founding RMI Guiding Company, Whittaker's Bunkhouse and climbing major peaks around the globe.
He led the first ascent up the North Col on Mt. Everest in 1984 and has summited Mt. Rainier over 250 times with various clients among others. He now lives in Sun Valley, Idaho and Ashford and still enjoys the outdoors.
Interviewing him was a special privilege, as Mark grew up watching both Lou and his twin brother Jim scale peaks around the northwest. Lou and served as Mark's inspiration to start climbing.
"Challenge is the main spring of all human endeavor." - Lou Whittaker
