David Collturi joins Nahtan on the Cult of Recreationalism #podcast! David is a professional cliff diver, speaker, and performance coach. They discuss David's background and his journey into such a niche sport. He gets to travel all over the world to exotic locations to jump off of perfectly good cliffs. They discuss near death experiences in Switzerland, that "Fear is your friend," and the importance of not taking things for granted and living each day to the fullest. They also talk about how does a person transition to another professional career after cliff diving and steps David is taking to prepare for his future. As always there's rapid-ish fire questions at the end so make sure you stay tuned for that. Give it a listen!
