Wim “The Iceman” Hof, world record holder, Dutch extreme athlete, and pioneer in breathing and extreme cold therapy, joins our show in this special episode of the Elite Man Podcast! In today’s episode Wim talks about the incredible 26 world records he’s achieved and the unbelievable accomplishments he’s performed like climbing up Mt. Everest in nothing but shorts and shoes, completing a half marathon in temperatures bordering around -4 degrees, and staying immersed in ice water for nearly two hours, and how he went about doing these seemingly impossible tasks. He discusses his ground-breaking method called The Wim Hof Method and why anyone can learn to incorporate it into their lives. Wim and I discuss the profound health benefits his method features, and why its core tenants of cold exposure, specific breathing techniques, and meditation can completely change your health and life. If you’re wondering how to supercharge your health and heal your mind and body, check this episode out now!

* I’ve been using Harry’s razors now for a few months and I have to say, these shavers are some of my all-time favorites. The closeness of the shave, the comfortable and smooth glide, the fresh design… it’s nothing short of epic. I love using these blades and they make lining up my beard a thousand times easier! I’ve talked about Harry’s in the past, and I’m telling you again, they are the real deal when it comes to shaving. I love them. And I know you’ll love ‘em too. And, because Harry’s stands behind their blades and wants to show you guys just how awesome they are, they created a special Elite Man Trial Offer for you. You can claim yours by going to Harrys.com/eliteman. This exclusive trial set comes with everything you need for a close, comfortable shave.

* Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet which lets you fill your fall with more stories and books like The Power of Now, one of the most powerful self-help books I’ve ever come across. This book literally changed my life, and it was so much easier to absorb it via audio, as opposed to trying to read all of its brilliant concepts word for word. Because even though I LOVE reading, and still do, I’m quite honestly not that fast and can’t absorb as much as I can via audiobooks. And that’s why I love Audible! They’ve got all the best books and stories you could want and make it easy to digest scores of complex topics and ideas that would take exponentially longer if I actually had to read them. Also, Audible has just come out with Audible Originals, a new member benefit. Audible members now get more… 2 Audible Originals and 1 audiobook every month.  Audible Originals are exclusive audio titles created by celebrated storytellers from worlds as diverse as theater, journalism, literature, and more. Every month, Audible members get 1 credit good for any audiobook they choose, plus 2 Audible Originals from a changing selection that they can’t get anywhere else. They also get access to audio fitness and health workouts created exclusively for Audible. Audible is also now offering my Elite Man listeners 30 days to try Audible free, which includes your choice of any audiobook plus two Audible Originals -- on them. It’s the perfect way to discover what millions already have; listening lets you get more books in your life because with the free Audible app, you can enjoy them anytime, anywhere. Plus, your books are yours to keep. With Audible you can go back and re-listen any time, even if you cancel your membership.

For people like me who always have their phone dying at the most inopportune times, this is fantastic! The Away suitcase is sleek, clean, lightweight, strong, and an overall must-have when I’m on the go.
