Malcolm says, across the board he\u2019s a pretty average guy, but through intermittent hard work, a smidgen of habit control, and a sprinkling of blind optimism, he has managed to achieve some pretty amazing things.\ufeff<\/span> <\/span>\n <\/p>\n

He has a love for adventure and tries to challenge himself regularly in order to spend time outside of his comfort zone.<\/span><\/p>\n
