Show Notes
In this episode, Pat sits down with one of Ireland’s leading adventurers, Jason Black.
A world class mountaineer and one of the few people to summit both Everest and K2, Jason’s story goes far beyond the mountains. This is a raw and honest conversation about resilience, bullying, mental health, and the power of nature.
Jason opens up about a difficult childhood, the invisible scars of bullying, and the moments that nearly broke him. He speaks candidly about hitting rock bottom and how the mountains became his lifeline.
From climbing Carrauntoohil at just 11, to standing on the highest peaks in the world, Jason shares how the greatest challenge was not Everest, but himself.
In this episode: The lasting impact of bullying Finding strength in nature Overcoming dark thoughts and rebuilding The mindset behind extreme endurance Why dreaming big matters
