Bear Grylls: Thrill Seeker and Inspiration
I first saw this guy on the Discover Channel show “Man vs. Wild” while working late one night. Something caught my attention during the show. I remember thinking to myself that I had not seen this much enthusiasm and passion since the late Steve Irwin. The more I watched the more I became interested in just who this character was outside of “tv”. In addition to having an interesting tv show, it turns out that Bear Grylls (a nickname since birth) has one hell of a story.
From his website, “Bear spent three years with the British Special Forces. During this time he had a horrendous parachuting accident whilst in southern Africa and broke his back in three places. Yet two years later, after severe rehabilitation, he overcame the odds to become the youngest British climber ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest and return alive.
His book on this extraordinary story soared into the Top 10 of the Bestseller list. Bear is one of the youngest and most successful motivational speakers in the world.” - http://www.beargrylls.com
I look forward to meeting this guy someday. Hopefully when I’m not lost in a remote jungle somewhere. Rock on Bear
