00:00Bad things happen
00:03That's life
00:05The real challenge is how do you turn a negative into a positive?
00:15He achieved an awful lot. You'd think he'd be happy and he wasn't. He needed to manage all the negative
00:22thoughts
00:23I'd lost my confidence
00:25You're looking out to ocean and thinking about swimming out and not coming back
00:30I just wasn't the person that I thought I was
00:35He needed to gain some perspective. I decided to suggest the Ocean 7 to him. The grueling Ocean 7 challenge
00:41is the same as climbing the world's seven tallest mountains
00:45You're not allowed to wear a wetsuit. You're not allowed to touch the boat. There's no shark cage
00:49Thanks for that. I was afraid I will die. It's just you versus whatever comes at you
00:55This sport is risky
00:58I can't describe the pain. They can do everything perfectly and still not cross
01:03Are you capable of something that's extraordinary?
01:07I needed a goal, so I said yes
01:12We said you are nuts mate. That is the craziest thing I've ever heard
01:16All right, that's it. Just keep going, keep pushing
01:19Handling stress is something that ocean swimmers are very good at
01:24Suffering is the part that makes you who you are. I got very clear instructions that I was not there
01:29to intervene
01:29He pushed himself and his family pretty bloody hard. We just knew what it meant
01:35I got into a really deep hole
01:37You were pretty sick. When you add emotion mistakes end up happening. I've never experienced suffering like that
01:44He slowed right down
01:46There has been sharks today. He was in a lot of trouble
01:51Just relax. It's okay. He's reflexing.
01:54I was accepting of the possibility that it might be something that I did not survive
