this is about to be a very special
episode but before we get started I just
want to let you know that season 9 of
seep discomfort a clothing line just
dropped right now for the next 72 hours
link is at the top of the description
enjoy the episode time is the most
valuable resource we have but on a daily
basis we all tend to forget that we
wasted by getting upset at things that
don't matter we forget to say I love you
too the ones that do matter and avoid
following our heart thinking it might be
better timing tomorrow but what if today
was your last day what if there were
exactly 24 hours left for you to live
and you had one last chance to do as
many of the things that truly matter to
you what would you do
who would you call and where would you
want to be I asked myself these
questions last year and did the
experiment of living my hypothetical
last day and for a Mars 25th birthday as
he begins a new quarter century he
decided that it was his time to do the
same Amara has been living around the
world since he's been 15 years old and
his biggest dream has always been to
connect all the friends he's made over
the years so for his last 24 hours
he decided to give them all a call and
see if they'd join him for the most
unforgettable day of his life
I always had this vision to bring all
the people that have shown me the most
loved in my life the people have made
the most impact in my life I want to do
that on my birthday as I simulate living
my last 24 hours I know that you're in
Istanbul and I was wondering if there's
any way I can fly you here next weekend
to come be here for my birthday
see somebody yes all my best friends are
saying yes
alright Happy's a university to be back
the opportunity to live genuinely one of
the most impactful days of your life
I think there is he got the first batch
of friends arriving from Vancouver let's
go search for a month to heal my back
into sconces you won't take you back rad
yeah I don't had a girl by Rory
what do you guys mean to you everything
he said the people that shaped my
character that shape the experiences
that made me who I am when we were in
Egypt together and you guys met my
family that was I was a mindfuck from
he's like worlds that I never thought
would would meet end up coming together
and then tomorrow is literally all about
that Emily my ex-girlfriend
there's no you Tina you have no idea
what we're doing like this is so random
then auxin with the same time ask myself
if I truly have 24 hours to live what I
would do who I want to be with you guys
are those people you've made a huge
impact in my life it showed me so much
love and so much support different
phases of my life for that I want to
take everybody in a plane and Jung
like at the boats first thing I told
amar when he said you come over to le we
have a lot of things but I was like as
long as it does not involve Heights look
at this what a dream all right it's a
little past midnight everybody's got to
go to bed and tomorrow morning I wake up
to do the skydive that I had dreamt up
my whole life falling out of the sky
with all of you morning second day all
these people just showing up ready to
jump out of the plane
this is wife's kite out of the first you
didn't call your friend then watch while
follow this guy they managed to find the
creepiest looking bail
[Applause]
[Music]
let me go skydiving what that was a
barbecue welcome to uh Scott we're gonna
figure out of a plane we've got like a
couple of military aircraft should be
able to get everybody jumping together
which is a really unusual and rare
opportunity to get like everybody in the
air at one time he probably won't be
able to explain to you how difficult
that was but he has made something
really special
I got twenty thousand skydive and I've
never gotten to do this never been able
to coordinate all 20 people a formation
tandem load they have done that you're
getting a really spoiling opportunity
just so you know in case it's not
obvious yeah just wanna make sure you
guys know that you're jumping out of
everything on your own this isn't Mars
wellness
[Music]

[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
team excitement after seeing people like
understand why I wanted to share this
experience with everyone oh my god my
heart is full I don't even know what to
think it was just pure adrenaline
[Music]
[Applause]
go back alright we are back in Venice
and we're about to have the most
delicious Egyptian blood everybody's
alive I can't think of a moment where I
was happier than seeing everybody on the
ground and taking that last pullover
together I haven't had the Egyptian food
ever since I left Egypt year and half
ago the cook of the Egyptian general
consul in LA kindly agreed to prepare
this move for all of us and let's eat
because I'm really hungry alright I have
a little surprise for heavy tomorrow
missed out on probably one of the most
significant moments of my life
what our friend Chris Peter did a
session it's like a crazy breath work
kind of wim hof style session and
there's never been a moment in my life
where I felt more connected to the
people around me Chris those brings out
of people Wow but I've never seen
anybody do it takes you through a
journey in your mind that you have never
been through in your entire life Wow the
bulk of what we're going to be doing is
called a two-stage breath so it's gonna
be a big inhale to our belly and inhale
to our chest or two inhales and then one
full exhale letting them it's gonna look
like this ready that's it that's all
we're gonna be doing that for about a
half-hour you're not gonna believe
possible just with breath alone it's
quite a miracle
[Music]
find a moment
something ridiculous at childhood I want
you to pull it down in your heart when
you do the door your hearts going to
swing this carry for the last four years
that was like you know what she's still
here in that moment she felt real that's
what thank you sharing a birthday like
all this like vulnerability and all the
emotions coming out is unreal I cried
for an hour so
[Music]
there's gonna be a lot more emotion than
I thought I can't even hold it together
already but I'm so thick
she's every single person in the room
right now means something to me and all
the people that came from so far to be
here with me today and to share this
experience today is a medium hard day
for me because a year ago same day I had
to follow up with my father and I had
been talking ever since and it became
such a huge weight on me throughout this
past year and I had a history of
depression and was really really
struggling but if right now means
something to me it is the power of just
following your heart and follow your
truth and following what you were born
to do even though that decision was the
hardest thing I've ever had to do in my
life
right now the happen is that experience
today with just seeing all of you
high-fiving each other after getting out
of that plane it was truly true the
happiest moon in my life the single
major contributing factor to put me on
the path that I'm on today is the fact
that I was able to get a scholarship to
the African Leadership Academy in South
Africa nine years ago
they don't really like to pass this I'll
continue forward and hopefully you get
another Egyptian who just thinks that
whatever is around them is the only
thing that life has to offer it was an
opportunity to go see more and go
experience more and go decide for
themselves who they want to be so we set
up a fundraiser thirty thousand dollars
which is the amount that it would take
for student to go to the Academy I put
ten thousand dollars of my own money
into this the guys generously just told
me that they're gonna put ten thousand
dollars from yesterday which puts us at
twenty so we just made a post saying all
the proceeds for the remainder of the
time for the sickness comfort drop is
gonna go towards the scholarship we're
gonna send out a form right now gives
you the option to donate if you want but
you can't then I would really appreciate
if you send it out to someone who you
think
[Applause]
[Music]
at the moment like this has such a big
milestone in his life it's a little bit
up to us to remind someone what they
need to especially when it's around as
close as I'm most lost right well I
definitely want to start it off and just
say how much my life has changed since
meeting you marks as many years but I
have never in my life been able to see
an individual will be able to connect
with people on such a deeper level so
quickly last year when I was just so
definitely and I wouldn t remember just
go like this and just crying for like a
minute and then just look up at you and
you're smiling you said this has been
the hardest year for you with depression
and mental health just seeing you creep
out of that and build and glow is just
an amazing journey to be a part of every
day I can't believe that I got lucky
[Applause]
and yeah $400 just came in tried to call
my mom yesterday on my birthday but she
couldn't pick up I just texted her and
told her that I want to bid you call her
and tell her about something so my mom's
biggest dream in life is to go to
pilgrimage of Mecca
every Muslim was able to afford to go I
supposed to actually do this once in
their lifetime it's quite expensive now
I'm about to tell her that she shall
have her biggest like wish in life
coming true this year hey mom
globe is an absolute low in tannin
abortion scientist el ateneo de Labarre
since a Tuesday I would have a get with
Mary in a manner saltan if sold you can
own another like heck and about the flu
still yet the blade gives litigation
plague control the Senate has infused
bacteria Daisy we're with em hisses be
like you them and a mimosa leave them
and fell I saw her I can learn order
yeah
my 24th was the most challenging year of
my life but it was also the year I
experienced the most growth and
breakthroughs appreciating some of the
people made such a huge impact in my
life and paying forward the greatest
opportunity I've ever received was a
moment of pure joy and fulfillment that
I will cherish forever one last thing
before I sign off if you're someone
who's thrown with any kind of mental
health issue or just unable to see the
light at the end of the tunnel I want
you to know that we see you we love you
and we accept you for exactly who you
are
it takes insane strength courage and
compassion to travel to the darkest
depths of who you are and have the
audacity to rise again it is the
ultimate test
to seek discomfort so wherever you're at
with whatever you're struggling with
just know you've got this and we're with
you I'd like to thank everyone who
supported the fundraiser by buying from
the last Steve discomfort drop we were
able to raise ten thousand dollars in
three hours and on that note the new
seat discomfort drop is live for the
next 72 hours so if you want to support
the message of seeking discomfort go
check it out link is at the top of the
description and we'll see you next week
