68. The Cost of Excellence
Manage episode 375359742 series 2933044
The Master Somm test is widely recognized as one of, if not the hardest test in the world. Only 273 people have passed it since it was incepted in 1969, also making it one of the rarest distinctions out there (<0.00001% of the world!)
In this episode, Steph and Cal discuss some of the hardest human feats, from athletics to intelligence to, and whether a healthy ambition can lie behind them.
They also discuss where they've taken things the furthest, and where they're still driven to do more.
