Facing Down Fear, Dealing with Risk and Climbing the Shard, with Extreme Athlete and TV Host, George King

Minter Dialogue with George King George King is a young man on a mission. His calling is to run toward fear. In 2019, at the age of 19, he scaled The Shard in London, a 310 metre-tall building, without any strings or attachments. It's called free climbing. For doing so, he was charged and jailed for 6 months, another experience in itself. He has done stunts and feats that are death defying. Literally, a life of ups and downs. He was also host of a TV show for Channel 4, Illegal Activities. In this conversation, we learn about his upbringing and mantras, the planning and execution of his Shard climb, his experience in jail, how he faces fear and his plans for the future.
