Hank Wise: Open ocean swimming world record holder

Show notes
Hank Wise holds the world record for the fastest male swim from Catalina to the Mainland (20 miles!), is a national champion Stanford swimmer, the reigning King of the Catalina Channel, and the owner of Rocket Fish swimming. During this episode, we dive deep into open ocean swimming, learn what it’s like to be followed by sharks in the middle of the night miles from shore, discuss coaching, parenting, flow, eudaimonia, and process vs. achievement. It's the legendary character that is Hank Wise, so he sings some songs too. The good vibes run deep and wide in this one!
