Every time I tell someone I’m heading to Nepal for a high-altitude trek, I get a flood of advice: what to pack, how to train, gear recommendations, you name it. It's well-intentioned—but also overwhelming.In today’s solo episode, I unpack a voice note conversation I had with Matt Stewart (from Experience Not Felt Possible), who’s running the expedition. We explore the tension between listening to advice and trusting yourself. Matt made a powerful point: there are many ways to get up a mountain—and most of them work. The question is: which one works for you?From ignoring Google Maps to reading Amazon reviews, I dig into how I personally decide what opinions, data, or advice I act on. I also share:Why even hard data is interpreted differentlyThe role of confirmation bias in decision-makingHow to handle the comparison trap (like seeing someone train for 2.5 hours on a StairMaster 😅)Why it's okay to take the long way home—if it feels rightI’d love to hear your thoughts: How do you filter advice?
