Carter’s motto is "do things that make you scared." He believes that stepping out of your comfort zone leads to personal growth and fun experiences. Flying on a plane for the first time was a "red flag moment" for him as it made him realize how vast the world is.

Tune in to hear more about filmmaking, fundraising, mountaineering, travel, and Carter’s love for adventure.

"Do Things That Make You Scared": I guess my motto these days has been to sort of, like, do things in life that make you scared because you're going to learn things about yourself, and you're going to have so much fun in the process, even if it's scary.
