On this episode, I'm joined by my mountaineer coach Dr. Jon Kedrowski to share the gripping tale of our training and expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest, and delve into much more.
Dr. Jon Kedrowski is the founder of Dr. Jon's Adventures. Jon has a Ph.D. in Environmental Geography, Weather, and Climate. He grew up in Vail, Colorado where he has climbed over 1,200 different Colorado peaks, including hundreds of ski descents, skiing each of Colorado's 14,000' peaks and about half of the 637 CO 13ers. He has climbed 6 of the 7 continental summits, including 6 expeditions to Mt. Everest in 2012, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, & 2023.
In our discussion, we revisit the moments when we braved storms, encountered unforeseen challenges, and narrowly escaped an avalanche that almost took our lives. It goes beyond merely listing accomplishments; it's a candid and unfiltered dialogue about the physical and mental hurdles we confronted.
But that's not all – we bring in live guests to tackle life's other mountains. Ever wondered how to save money or budget for an epic adventure or cross continent walk? Curious about avoiding complacency in your daily routine? Struggling to pick the right ambitions when you have a plethora of goals? Tune in as we unravel these questions and embark on a journey of self-discovery and resilience together.
