    Few others, if any, have the wide variety, diversity and longevity of experiencing athletic adventures in the most exotic and sacred places on the planet. Most athletes and adventurers hone specific skills and movements to high level excellence. While confidence comes from skill, courage comes from learning to manage fear in first time experiences.

    Smith has faced first time fear plenty of times in a variety of wilderness athletic adventure situations. Because he has literally put his life on the line many times, he's an authority on managing fear and overcoming self-imposed limits.

As a speaker and teambuilder, my job is to show people how to harness it to overcome obstacles, take risks and manage change".
    -David Miln Smith
