275 – How Community, Commitment, and Courage Took Me to the Summit

One month ago, I climbed a mountain. Not once, not twice… But EIGHT times.

Dive into this episode to hear about my experience completing the 29029 Everesting Hike in Whistler, Canada.

I learned so much during this experience, about motivation, accountability, and the power of community.

In This Episode: 

  • Hear about how I went from extreme hesitation to actually buying my ticket because of the power of community and accountability.
  • Let’s talk about why having a clear, specific goal matters in business – and how that goal transformed my life months before the hike.
  • Discover what happened on the trail that almost made me quit. And, what changed my mind.
  • How adaptability and rolling with the punches is essential to any challenge you face in life or business.
  • The importance of a support system and the role of a team from mentors and trainers to chiropractors, everyone on my team played a part.
  • Learn who I dedicated each of my eight ascents to and why this activity truly kept me going.

This hike was more than just a physical challenge – it was a journey and lesson in growth, resilience, and community. The lessons I learned on that mountain, from perseverance to accountability, are ones that I think we should all incorporate into our day-to-day lives.
