Akshay Nanavati returns from a near-fatal solo expedition across Antarctica, where failure became his greatest teacher. In confronting solitude, physical collapse, and the weight of a four-year dream undone, he uncovers profound truths about suffering, love, spiritual transcendence, and the limitless nature of the human spirit. This conversation explores how real growth comes not from the finish line, but from who we become in the process of breaking and rising again.
