🎙️ Episode description
“What if you get jealous of the exact person you’re crewing on their FKT? I feel uncomfortable sharing about the topic. Especially because I feel a lot of shame about this 5-year-old part of myself. But it is real and it was looking for ways to express itself.
It’s not what I expected the conversation with Taylor to revolve around, but I’m incredibly grateful I got to talk through the experience with him. He just got back from crewing a 76-day FKT (raising £300,000 in the process), where he had a similar experience. Taylor’s own openness and ability to put his inner world into words made this a healing conversation for me. We talked right before I’m leaving for the PCT. It couldn’t have been better timing.
Thanks for this one, Chris. I hope we’ll have many more of these conversations in the future.”
