Hi, I’m Kush 👋🏽
Climber, surfer, dancer, lifelong student of movement and meaning.
For the past year, I’ve been having deep, honest conversations with extraordinary athletes—from 30-somethings at the top of their game to 80-year-olds still crushing marathons, big waves, and hard climbs. These are people who defy the usual scripts about aging, injury, and limits. And they’ve taught me a lot.
But this newsletter isn’t just about performance.
It’s about resilience, curiosity, and finding joy in the long game.
You’ll get:
✨ Personal essays from my own journey (like navigating injury, recovery, and still chasing hard climbs)
🎙️ Highlights and reflections from podcast conversations
🧠 Insights on longevity, mindset, movement, and how to stay lit up as we age
A little about me:
I started climbing 20 years ago after backpacking through the Himalayas, picked up surfing when I moved to San Francisco, and now live in a van chasing cliffs and waves in my 40s. I'm not trying to break records—I just don’t want to stop growing.
If you're someone who still craves challenge, adventure, and purpose as the years roll on—you’ll feel at home here.
