[6] When you say confidence, how do you define confidence?
[7] Because some people think of confidence as this overt external expression of like self -assurance.
[8] What did you mean when you said, I didn't have confidence and it's still an ongoing battle?
[9] What is that?
[10] I think it's not what the world always thinks, like you say.
[11] You know, we always have this thing of confidence.
[12] As you say, it's this.
[13] Unstoppable, I can do anything.
[14] You know, I think life is always humbling, you know, in every way, just like the wild.
[15] You know, the mountains are humbling.
[16] you know the real things of life are humblings you remind us that you know it's often a battle and you know you've got to sometimes put your head down and do your best and you're going to fail and you're going to struggle and you're going to have doubts and you're going to have self -doubt and but but try try and get your feet and keep going and I think that is um that is confidence you know confidence is the quiet stuff and the and the honesty and to to say this is a struggle but but let's go you know let's let's do our best i love that thing of the scouts you know do your best you know which is so smart because i think so much of the world is about be the best you know win number one you know but actually that doesn't always stand the the pressure test of time and of of life and of going for big things are always going to be humbling and i think the thing of do your best you know it's dip dip dip you know dyv do your best i i love that because wherever you're at you can do that you know it's a decision isn't it's not a gift it's not something we're born with like the looks or the academic of the sport something you've got to summon and uh i like that what were the symptoms of having a lack of confidence when you were that age what would it look like how did it manifest itself i think probably just being quite shy and uh and i think you see the people at school always the the the bigger personalities and it was always like gosh you've got to be like that to get anywhere and it's a life journey isn't it to realize it's almost the opposite it's almost the opposite you know look at the quiet the persevering relentlessly trying to pick stuff up through the failures and and keep going and know the wealth of life the wealth is always found in our relationships and and you know you come across people who are rich in friendships and you know rich in passion and love what they do and love the people they work with and that's enough that's wonderful but it takes a bit of unlearning doesn't it of saying you know the people not always look up to aren't always the front and center and as I get older I see more more heroes left right and center we're more left and right rather than center you know and I love that I sort of see it in people and you know I see it in our camera crew I mean look at look at what's been a core part of my job for however many years, many years now, you know, the filming and stuff.
[17] And, you know, the focus is always on the person in front of screen and, you know, that horrible word of talent, as they call it.
[18] I never felt very talented.
[19] Still don't.
[20] Still feel I'm surrounded by way more talented people.
[21] But life isn't a competition about who's more talented.
[22] It's a journey to take with great friends.
[23] And I look at our camera crew and to me, true heroes.
[24] You know, they work harder.
[25] They carry heavier weights, you know, unsung.
[26] you know, relentlessly positive, carry me many times, you know, in so many ways.
[27] Encourage me when I've been struggling and I look at them and still brothers and sisters, best friends to this day, I think it's probably the thing I'm most proud of in my career, actually, are the friendships with our crew, you know, in an industry that is notoriously transient.
[28] You know, people have crew come, crew go, new crews, you know, but we've kept pretty well the core crew from the beginning.
[29] And part of it's that we're obviously working in difficult, dangerous terrain and you forge stronger bonds than you would in a shiny studio.
[30] But part of it's that the loyalty really matters from both goes both ways.
[31] And I love that.
[32] You said that you kind of have a bit of an allergic reaction to the word talent, right?
[33] Just from a few other things that you said in that little open, I wondered if you relate at all to the phrase imposter syndrome at all.
[34] Because you're someone who's, the world has this image of you as being this, like, unbelievable, mountain -scaling, fearless adventurer.
[35] And even you're talking about a lack of confidence doesn't seem to fit into that narrative that the world must hold of you.
[36] So have you ever felt what they call imposter syndrome at all?
[37] Would you have a different thing?
[38] Yeah, I think so.
[39] Because it's ongoing.
[40] Because it probably grows, you know, the more, you know, the more sort of something does well, you know, we did the show.
[41] this year for Netflix called You Versus Wild, you know, and we just got the news, you know, this morning.
[42] We got nominated for three Emmys for it.
[43] And the crew would go, babe, he's so excited, but part of my heart dies.
[44] Part of me is like, oh, it's like that gulf between the sort of TV, sort of, you know, guy and the real gets bigger, you know.
[45] And I feel from day one, I felt I almost had more confidence, I think, in my skills at the beginning.
[46] I think it's a years ago and I've realized actually I've often been surrounded by people are better climbers, better skydivers, better survival guys, better looking, fitter, stronger, all of these things just because we've built a crew of ninjas, a true heroes and, you know, we got to work with people and locals and experts all around the world year after year.
[47] And I think more and more I feel these guys are, though that person we met there or that person we met, they are amazing, it'd be much better at the job than me. But, you know, like I say, our job isn't to be the best, you know, it's to do our best.
[48] And, you know, for some reason I've been given the chance to do this is what I've always loved.
[49] I love the adventures.
[50] I love, like I say, the friendships and, you know, the job we do.
[51] And I think you can only ride that and be grateful for it.
[52] And like I say, do your best and not worry about too much about how the TV makes it always look.
[53] I mean, the truth is, the TV always puts for best bits.
[54] They cut out the trips and the stumbles and you put anything to music and the guy's going to look cool you know but i think an element to why the show worked when we first started doing it is that we did show a lot of the mistakes and it was kind of the slips and the stumbles and the ums and the ars and i remember from day one that the producer that came came to me and said we want to do the show where we drop you in the middle of difficult places and you show us how to get out of there and and and i kept saying no because i didn't want to do tv i didn't know about tv and i was like oh noah and and And, you know, but you kept saying we don't want that.
[55] It doesn't need to be perfect.
[56] And it was my wife that said, why don't you go and try it?
[57] You know, and I just left the military.
[58] We just got married.
[59] We were kind of starting out.
[60] And she was smart.
[61] She said, go and try it.
[62] And actually, it's never felt like making a perfect thing.
[63] I think the magic at that time, it was the first show that came along that let all the mud be on the lens and the rain on the lens and the trips and the stumbles.
[64] And you saw the cameraman's hand.
[65] And it would come there was a sort of interactivity that was great.
[66] And I've always felt if it's not broke, don't fix it.
[67] The stumbles, the trips, the struggles, the mistakes are part of life.
[68] But part of my heart that dies is a big of goes, it all makes it look too good.
[69] Or two, you know, because at the end of the day, I'm a really regular guy.
[70] I'm a regular dad as well.
[71] You know, I'm not brilliant at any of these things.
[72] But I know what I love and I know the weapons that serve me best and the weapons are always this, you know, be dogged, be determined.
[73] Be the most resilient person out there when it's hard.
[74] You know, come alive in the big moments.
[75] When it's not the big moments, you don't need to be front and center, but in the big moments, be there.
