Podcasts about adventurers grand slam

Listen to some of the minutes toward the end of my interview with Meghan Buchanon, a true overcomer who we all can be inspired by.  A few of these minutes can apply to the Everests that we all face.   A few of these minutes were taken from my interview with Meghan Buchanan, an Aerospace Engineer, Adventure Athlete and Motivational Speaker. She has set her sights on becoming the 1st Rocket Scientist to climb the 7 Summits, 5th US WOMAN to complete the EXPLORERS GRAND SLAM (climbing the world's 7 Summits and last degree ski to the North and South Poles), and eventually 1st US WOMAN to complete the Adventurers Grand Slam (unsupported Poles). She has taken on impossible and defying odds to inspire all of us.  Her story is incredible including a broken femur with two years of excruciating pain and physical therapy to pulling off the impossible as a mountaineer.  She is the "Rocket Girl" - Breaking Boundaries for Women in Engineering and Mountaineering.  She has overcome stereotypes, obstacles, and life-threatening injuries by applying her tools of GGRIT. Gratitude – Growth – Resilience – Integrity – Tenacity Our interview wasn't long enough.  You will be inspired, amazed, and come out of this wanting to hear more.  Lessons from a Rocket Scientist who Climbed Mount Everest and so much more.   Let me just say, it was just a blessing for me to have such a great conversation with a person of inspiration.  Thank you Meghan!

Muchá, hoy les traigo a una persona súper increíble, en serio, no bromeo en lo absoluto… ¡es una súper mujer! Te presento a Andrea Cardona. Montañista profesional, escritora, conferencista internacional, emprendedora, empresaria y ahora también una súper mamá. Desde pequeña viajó mucho por toda Guatemala junto a su familia. Esas tempranas experiencias despertaron el interés por viajar y conocer el mundo. A los 18 años partió para cursar la carrera en Economía del Turismo en Génova, Italia, a través de una beca. Al graduarse, trabajó un año y medio en una cadena hotelera, realizando trabajo de escritorio en el área de mercadeo. Ese trabajo le permitió ahorrar para poder viajar por 6 meses en el continente asiático. A raíz de ese viaje, Andrea visitó por primera vez el campamento base del Everest y empieza a trabajar operando y guiando viajes de aventura alrededor del mundo para un operador turístico brasileño. En el 2010, Andrea se convierte en la primera mujer centroamericana y del caribe en alcanzar la cima más alta del mundo. Estoy hablando del Monte Everest, con sus imponentes 8,850 msnm se considera la cumbre más alta del mundo y el denominado Tercer Polo del Planeta, por ser el tercer almacenamiento de hielo más grande del globo terráqueo. En el 2011, emprendió un nuevo desafío en la Antártida al esquiar 111.11 kilómetros en el polo sur, en tan solo una semana. Logrando ser la primera mujer en la historia en colocar la bandera de Guatemala en ese lugar. Después en el 2012, esquió nuevamente 111.11 km, pero esta vez en el polo norte, ubicado en el océano ártico. Y con todo esto, logró terminar el famoso reto de Los Tres Polos del Planeta. Y, por si fuera poco, en ese mismo año, también se convierte en la primera persona latinoamericana en completar el Adventurers Grand Slam o también conocido como el Explorers Grand Slam. El Gran Golpe de los Exploradores es un reto para aventureros que consiste en alcanzar el Polo Norte, el Polo Sur y todas las 7 cumbres más altas de cada continente. (Sí, lo sé… impresionante ¿no?) De esta manera Andrea llevó la bandera de Guatemala a un nuevo récord mundial al convertirse en la primera mujer latinoamericana en lograr esta triple hazaña. Actualmente es la fundadora y CEO de la empresa The Altitude Company, es autora del libro "Sin Límites, Everest", pionera en el campo de la salud y bienestar corporativo, coach y desarrolladora de team building y también, imparte talleres para equipos de alto rendimiento. Estuvimos conversando acerca de todo el camino que ha recorrido a lo largo de su vida como atleta y empresaria. También sobre cómo fue que le hizo para realizar tantas hazañas increíbles y todo lo que vivió con tantas aventuras. Pero bueno… no te quiero aburrir, así que te dejo la siguiente historia.

Episode 2 features an interview with Chhiring Sherpa, a revered climber and guide who has summited Mount Everest 16 times, but also works at Honey Stinger. Our second segment features an in-depth interview with Kim Hess, a Hive Gold athlete who’s very close to becoming only the thirteenth woman to complete the Adventurers Grand Slam—that’s climbing the Seven Summits (the highest peak on each of the seven continents) plus traversing to the North and the South poles. Kim began this quest eight years ago, and she’s had some pretty extreme highs and lows, including a fall and emergency evacuation from Mt McKinley. She talks openly about all of it, as well as the challenges of being a woman in a traditionally male realm.

Despite roots in one of India’s most conservative rural Haryana state notorious for its skewed sex ratio in favour of boys, Nungshi and Tashi Malik, by 23 years old had achieved several global gender iconic milestones.  They are the world’s first siblings and twins as well as youngest persons and the first South Asians to complete the ‘Adventurers Grand Slam’ (scaling highest peaks in all continents including Everest, and skiing to North and South Poles). Guinness World Records has already featured them for several of these including ‘first female twins to scale Everest, first twins and siblings to scale the Seven Summits and youngest person to complete Explorers Grand Slam’. Popularly known as ‘Everest twins’, Nungshi and Tashi dedicated their adventure mission to Indian girl child with the motto ‘Gender Equality Now: Fight Female Feticide’. They use their climbing as metaphor for the ‘invisible’ mountains of gender discrimination, exclusion and denial of basic rights that millions of girls in India have to climb daily. Last year they started ‘NungshiTashi Foundation’ with the twin objectives of promoting Outdoors Leadership and girl empowerment through Outdoors.   World Records •First female twins to scale Mt Everest (Climbed at 21 years of age) •First siblings & twins to climb ‘Seven Summits’ (highest peaks in all continents) •First siblings & twins to complete Adventurers Grand Slam & the Three Pole Challenge •Youngest persons ever to complete Adventurers Grand Slam & the Three Pole Challenge •First twins to reach South Pole on Skis (last degree) •First twins to reach North Pole on Skis, (last degree)   National/Regional Records •First South Asians to complete Adventurers Grand Slam & the Three Pole Challenge •Youngest and Fastest South Asians to complete Adventurers Grand Slam & the Three Pole Challenge (two years and a month) •Youngest South Asians to scale the ‘Seven Summits’ •First Indian women to climb all ‘Seven Summits’ in first attempt (overall 2nd Indian women and third Indians) •Youngest and fastest South Asians to reach North & South Pole on Skis (completed in less than 4 months)   Show notes Where they are based at the moment Where they were brought up Travelling a lot when they were younger,  Growing up as girls in India Being trend setters and where it came from How their mum helped to support them with their goals Their 3rd sister Dealing with fears and what drove them Not understanding the desire to fit in within the group Why they wanted to be the best version of themselves Where the love for the outdoors came from Developing leadership attributes and self awareness through mountaineering When mountaineering turned into a passion Planning and climbing their first 19,000 ft mountain Who first mentioned Everest and why it was a calling from the mountain How they made their dream a reality Why to achieve your goals it comes down to commitment The struggles to achieve their goal over 4.5 years Getting the go ahead from their mum!

One of the best things with Husky is all the chances and opportunities that so often opens up. Who would have thought that I would get an e-mail from the husband of the Swedish ambassador to Lebanon telling me that they not only listen to Husky, but also asks if I would be interested in meeting a friend of theirs - Maxime Chaya, who is the sixth person in the world ever to have completed the so called Adventurers Grand Slam which is completing the Seven Summits AND crossing the North and the South Pole on foot. I am so glad and humbled to have had the chance to meet and interview Maxime about his background in Lebanon, his cosmopolitan upbringing, about his adventures and his mission to be a good rolemodel and ambassador for a troubled part of the world. He has also written a autobiography about his life so far called Steep Dreams. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
