Cody has been a professional rock climber and outdoor guide for many years now. Cody is an AMGA certified rock guide, AMGA certified single pitch instructor, and AMGA SPI assistant program provider. Cody brings a wonderfully, unique perspective to help show that mental health shows up in so many different ways in our lives and in the world. In this first part of our discussion, we talk about Cody's history in becoming an outdoor guide, the concept of flow, suicide and how the outdoors saved Cody's life, and Bo Burnham??
