Ricardo Palomares (@ricardopal) is a TEDx speaker, author, and explorer.

When I first met Ricardo at the local gym, we immediately clicked. The stories of his Pedal South sojourn, a bike trip spanning 2 years and 18,000 miles from Alaska to South America along the Pan American Highway, reminded me of my days on the Pacific Crest Trail. But Ricardo’s story goes much deeper than that, having overcome unlikely odds throughout his life, much of which he speaks about in his popular YouTube TEDx videos entitled: “Why I Stopped Seeking Enlightenment”

In our discussion, Ricardo shares his life struggles and accomplishments including his journey of becoming a speaker, identifying and escaping bad habit patterns, pushing through pain, and the creation of his recent project, the Wolfpack, where communities of men hold each other responsible to improve their lives on all fronts: mind, body, spirit, family, partner, and business.

Ricardo is an inspirational individual and his story has only just begun. It was wonderful to have him on the podcast and it has inspired me to continue pushing the limits of what I believe to be possible. So without further adieu, enjoy the wise words of my sage friend, Ricardo Palomares!

Love,

David
