When two legends team up, their success is guaranteed. Professional explorer Mike Horn and rally driver Cyril Despres came together for the dakar rally and I met the crazy duo in Chamonix, France. They told me about fear, money, adrenaline and risks in motorsports and why their training is like a shortcut to success. Mike has seen more of the world than nearly every other human. He gave us an inspirational coaching lesson about life, motivation, discipline and personal limits. Mike Horn is a legendary adventurer who has completed a solo journey around the equator and became the first person to travel to the North Pole without a dog or motorized support, during winter, in permanent darkness. Cyril Despres is known as the rally dakar expert. He has taken part 20 times at the world’s toughest rally and won it five times.
