Summary

During his long existential journey, Wim Hof came face to face with nature’s most primordial elements. Staring right back, the merciless cold and bountiful air revealed an energy now lost to most of modern society, dormant inside all of us and waiting to be reawakened.

Having embraced these majestic forces, and breaking record after record in a range of death-defying feats, Wim resolved to share this discovery with the rest of the world. He gradually whittled his accrued insight down to the core essentials, so that people young and old, healthy and sick could tap into this potential without having to invest the same decades worth of study, travel and daring.

0:00.0	Radio Manu, Papa Tchango.
0:02.3	happy guitar thaw
0:29.5	Hey Chris, this is Alfio from Toronto on a cold and wet day and it only gets worse from here as summer is officially out.
0:39.5	I'm here on my laptop editing, doing some work and I'm about to take a break to listen to your podcast and thank you for your podcast because it gets me through a lot of tough times. Peace!
0:55.5	Hey Chris and all the tangent done to us out there. My name is Blake, I'm an undergraduate here in Flagstaff, Arizona.
1:02.5	I've got a sad message to relay but I think it's important. Two nights ago a close friend of mine, Jason, died violently. He was hit by a train.
1:11.5	It wasn't suicide or anything like that. From what I've gathered it was just a meaningless drunken accident.
1:17.5	Jason was a great guy, funny, thoughtful and always there for his friends. I'm only 21, I haven't experienced many deaths but this is by far the most meaningless and violent one.
1:28.5	I'm so processing the death but I think a lot of the listeners out there can relate to the lesson I've learned.
1:34.5	Life is so fragile, so precious and not to be taken for granted. I really believe that we have this one life and then we are dead for all eternity.
1:43.5	Make the most of it while you're here. Tell your friends and family that you love them and be quick to forgive and let go of society's banality.
1:51.5	Jason and you live on in my heart. I wish safe travels to you Chris and everyone listening as we journey through this human life. Goodbye.
1:59.5	Hi fellow tangentialists, this is Neil from Victoria Canada. Love the podcast Chris. Your take on life really resonates with me.
2:07.5	I live on a boat so that I can afford to be a full-time musician and run a recording studio downtown.
2:12.5	Today I'm here with my friends in the band Foxlove cutting some vocals and I asked them to sing a line from one of their songs because it made me think of all the listeners flung out at far ends of the world but connected by the thoughts and stories on the podcast.
2:26.5	Okay.
2:56.5	I am with you.
3:08.5	All right. Thanks Chris and thanks to everybody out there being their most awesome self and inspiring all of us.
3:16.5	Bye bye now. Goodbye. Bye.
3:20.5	You people are fucking amazing. Thank you.
3:24.5	Thank you so much for those messages. Alfio Blake, Neil and the lovely ladies of Foxlove.
3:34.5	I've been thinking about you recently actually.
