We can never be entirely sure where our limits may be. As we live our lives, we develop a comfort zone within which we tend to stay. When given the opportunity to move out of this zone, we realize that limitations we may have thought existed are not real. Today’s guests regularly work outside of perceived limitations. Ultra-Distance Obstacle racer Shelley Koenig pushes herself to engage in physical feats that most of us would never attempt; Eric Denny helps individuals push past their limits through the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School. We hope that their stories will inspire you to re-consider what your limits may be—and perhaps seek to push past them and discover what might be found.
