Podcasts about endurance shackleton

Hello, sports (and romance) fans! You're in for a treat–this week's book/episode is light on babysitting and heavy on baseball (and crush-induced butterflies). When all of the kids in Stoneybrook seem to be in their backyards with bats and gloves, Kristy notices that the local little league has left out her younger siblings and many of the club's charges. In a typical Kristy move, she decides to start and coach a softball team of her own–but her Krushers [sic] aren't the only game in town. Soon neighborhood cutie Bart and his Bashers challenge them to a face-off. Find us under the bleachers as we hunt for bottle caps and chat about how Kristy's motley crew fares (and who the real heart of the story is) in Kristy and the Walking Disaster.

“In that instant they felt an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. Though they had failed dismally even to come close to the expedition's original objective, they knew now that somehow they had done much, much more than ever they set out to do.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! If you love exploration books as much as we do, you'll definitely enjoy this episode. Today, we're talking about Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. Join us as we explore Shackleton's legendary expedition, where a crew of 28 men faced nearly two years of extreme conditions after their ship became trapped in ice. We cover a wide range of topics including: How Shackleton's leadership prevented descent into madness Physical vs. mental challenges in extreme survival situations Were previous generations tougher than we are today? Antarctic exploration's parallels to modern space missions The life-or-death decisions in the final rescue attempt And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

We begin the episode with a tangent on our favorite blender, health insurance plans, and protein powder. (5:44) We begin our discussion of Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Nat shares a unique perspective, having read the book during his own trip to Antarctica. (09:15) The timeline of Shackleton's expedition spanned from August 1914 to September 1916, marking nearly two years of survival against impossible odds. Later on, Shackleton would help rescue another stranded crew in January 1917. (11:16) Endurance draws from the crew's journal entries, a common practice during the age of exploration when survival wasn't guaranteed. We discuss how these historical records parallel potential Mars missions in the future. (13:46) We explore current Mars exploration initiatives across the globe. China aims for a sample return mission by 2030, SpaceX targets 2028 for their missions, and India continues to advance their rover program. (18:01) The core of Shackleton's story unfolds: an attempted Antarctic crossing, leading to a two-year fight for survival. Despite the world presuming them dead, every crew member survived, with many later serving in World War I, highlighting their extraordinary resilience. (22:11) "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success." Shackleton's legendary recruitment advertisement exemplified his unique approach to crew selection. Nat, Neil, and Adil also discuss whether the people of previous generations were tougher than we are today.  (30:30) Shifting the conversation to growing up in the pre-Internet era. We reminisce about outdoor adventures, early video games, and how different forms of entertainment shaped our imaginations compared to today. (35:54) The physical hardships endured by the crew were severe, with frostbite being a constant threat. Shackleton's leadership proved crucial, maintaining strict schedules and discipline to prevent the crew from succumbing to despair during their long wait trapped in ice. (39:26) We draw parallels between Shackleton's earlier failures and the Apollo 13 mission.  (42:41) The type of ship they chose for the journey actually had a huge impact on the outcome. Its specific shape made it vulnerable to being trapped within the large blocks of ice. (46:31) National parks and the preservation of nature. There are very few places left in the country where there is no light pollution at all. (49:43) After a year on the ship and another camping on ice, they modified their lifeboats for a perilous journey to Elephant Island. Shackleton's team then faced the task of scaling mountains without proper gear and navigating treacherous waters. (55:12) Nat, Neil, and Adil debate whether the physical or mental challenges were the most difficult to overcome in this expedition. Would you rather have been on the boat with Shackleton, or waiting for the boat to return for rescue?  (1:01:32) The book itself has an interesting publishing history. Though it achieved only modest sales during Lansing's lifetime, it found massive success about a decade after his death. (1:07:49) We reflect on a few other books we've read on energy. If you have any recommendations, send them our way!  (1:13:07) A discussion about current political leadership's understanding of technology and its implications for policy decisions. (1:20:55) The 'Make American Healthy Again' efforts, healthcare system incentives, and potential future programs in the U.S. What is to come under the new administration? (1:24:59) It wouldn't be an episode of MYT without a little crypto and meme coin talk! (1:34:58) That concludes this episode!

During the Second World War, FDR promised thousands of tons of US material to Chiang Kai Shek in order to keep China in the war and keep Japan distracted. But how would the US get it there? The only land route had been cut off by the Japanese invasion, leaving only one other option: air. For the next three years, US planes flew “The Hump”: an air route from Assam to Chongqing, over the dangerous Himalayan mountains and Burmese jungles. Countless planes were lost, whether on a Himalayan mountainside or deep in the jungle. That tale is the subject of Skies of Thunder: The Deadly World War II Mission Over the Roof of the World (Viking: 2024), by Caroline Alexander, who joins us today. Caroline Alexander is the author of the bestselling The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (Knopf: 1998), which has been translated into thirteen languages. She writes frequently for The New Yorker and National Geographic, and she is the author of four other books, including Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition (Harper Perennial: 1999), the journal of the Endurance ship's cat.

Joel and I teamed up to talk about one of our favorite topics: Leadership! As some may know, Joel is currently a graduate student in the Gonzaga Master of Organizational Leadership program. He's taken a couple of classes in heartiness and resiliency and read the book Leading at the Edge by Dennis Perkins, so I gave it a read! In this episode, we discuss a couple of key leadership strategies that Shackleton exemplified, and Perkins identifies in his book through extensive research and a life dedicated to learning about leadership. Dennis Perkins has spent a major part of his life trying to understand what it really means to be a leader – particularly under conditions of adversity, ambiguity, and change. His passion to understand the art of leadership began at the United States Naval Academy. He went on to commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps and serve as a Company Commander in Vietnam. His leadership “post-graduate” education continued well past the USMC. Perkins went onto attend Harvard Business School, then later obtain his doctorate in Psychology from the University of Michigan. Perkins proceeded to join the Yale School of Management as a faculty member and is now the CEO of The Syncretics Group, a consulting firm dedicated to effective leadership in demanding environments. Joel and I picked a couple of strategies that resonated with us and how we felt they applied to the JMO leading in the military, and to leaders in business. Joel also recently climbed a Mountain in his Masters. While not in the Antarctic for 800 days, it was quite an experience. While a six-to-nine-month deployment may not equate to being stranded in the Antarctic for 800 days, it takes strong leaders to help their crew, their units, their organizations through challenging times. Quick summary of the book below. Leading at the Edge Leading at the Edge: Leadership Lessons from the Extraordinary Saga of Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition by Dennis Perkins uses the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition as a framework for exploring leadership in extreme circumstances. Perkins draws leadership principles from Shackleton's incredible ability to lead his crew through crisis and adversity. This book demonstrates how leadership lessons from the edge of survival can be applied to organizations confronting contemporary challenges such as competition; economic uncertainty; and the need for constant innovation, growth, and change. Beset and trapped in solid ice packs, the crew was engaged in a fight for survival. The “Endurance” (Shackleton's Ship) eventually was crushed by ice and sank. Through remarkable leadership, Shackleton managed to keep his men alive and motivated. He led a harrowing open-boat journey over 800 miles of treacherous seas to seek rescue, eventually saving all his men without a single loss of life. Lansing's narrative highlights the courage, resilience, and teamwork that enabled them to survive this epic ordeal. Perkins's ten key leadership strategies that Shackleton exemplified are laid out below: Ten Strategies 1. Never lose sight of the ultimate goal and focus energy on short-term objectives. 2. Set a personal example with visible, memorable symbols and behaviors. 3. Instill optimism and self-confidence but stay grounded in reality. 4. Take care of yourself: Maintain your stamina and let go of guilt. 5. Reinforce the team message constantly: “We are one – we live or die together”. 6. Minimize status differences and insist on courtesy and mutual respect. 7. Master conflict – deal with anger in small doses, engage dissidents, and avoid needless power struggles. 8. Find something to celebrate and something to laugh about. 9. Be willing to take the Big Risk. 10. Never give up – there's always another move. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Fair warning, this episode is ALL over the place!  You will laugh and maybe cringe at my faux pas. You might cry with me at the end of the episode, and you'll definitely learn about a lot of great books. In this episode I get to talk to my dear friend Elsie Iudicello.  Elsie is a wife to my friend Jeff, and mom to 4 boys. Elsie lives in Florida where she is a farmer, a writer, a reader, a cook, and one of the most compelling and hilarious speakers I have ever the pleasure of hearing.  Here are some highlights from our conversation: *Elsie tells me she loves old movies but also loves natural disaster movies. *Well, only one really. The movie Twister. For an interesting reason! *This is when I suggest another movie Elsie might like but that doesn't actually exist and if it did, you might see it behind the curtain at Blockbuster. Enjoy the laughter that ensues. I'm never going to live this one down. *Elsie shares: “books bonded us in the beginning because we got to go play in different worlds together, and that has sustained us in the teen years. *We can meet on the bridge of a story. *Kids want a book where the author isn't talking down to them. That doesn't preach at them or sanitize everything. *Reading biographies and especially missionary biographies are so good for our kids to read. *Give them books about people stepping out of their comfortable worlds. Read those things into their hearts! * I want my kids to get to know people who have had to fight for their faith. * Parents need to be readers too. Because this statistic is true and makes my heart sad. “roughly a quarter of American adults say they haven't read a book in whole or in part in the past year in print, electronic or even in audio form”. *”Don't be in such a hurry to read the great books that you miss the good books.” Cindy Rawlins *On re-reading books: “I would rather be friends with 40 or 50 good dear books than read all the books in the world once.” *Find Elsie on Instagram at Farmhouse Schoolhouse  Here's a list of all the books we mention in this episode: Ourselves by Charlotte Mason The Emperor's Handbook by Marcus Aurelius The Good Master by Kate Seredy Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder The Railway Children by Edith Nesbit Little Britches by Ralph Moody Wind and the Willows by Kenneth Grahame Green Ember by S. D. Smith Wing Feather Saga by Andrew Peterson The Mad Scientist Club by Bertrand Brinley The Great Brain by John D Fitzgerald Homer Price by Robert McCloskey The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain Jules Verne books Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew 10 Fingers for God: the life and work of Dr. Paul Brand by Dorothy Wilson Christian Heroes Then and Now series  Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morely The Awaking of Miss Prim: a Novel by Natalia Fenollera The Blue Castle by Lucy Maud Montgomery The Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter Little Women Louisa May Alcott The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Frankenstein by Mary Shelley David Copperfield by Charles Dickens How Green was My Valley by Richard Llewellyn The Count of Monte Christo by Alexander Dumas  Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast, and I'd be so very grateful if you leave a 5 star rating of the podcast and also a quick review.  Reviews are incredibly helpful to me as a new podcaster. Thank you for listening and being part of my team.  I love you guys! Greta

When Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance was discovered below the Antarctic ice in March 2022, 106 years after it sank, the world thrilled anew with one of the greatest survival stories of all time. Acclaimed South African writer Darrel Bristow-Bovey has a deeply personal relationship with the story of Endurance and in this lyrical journey into past and present, into humanity and the natural world, above and below the Antarctic ice, he revisits the famous story wondering why it seems to mean more today than ever before.  Drawing on literature, natural history, personal memoir and the thrilling epics of polar adventure, this is a celebration of the human spirit. If this story tells us anything, it's that in the face of a self-inflicted natural disaster, we can still pull off a miracle or two. Darrel sat down with South African author Mphuthumi Ntabeni at the book lounge in Cape Town to delve into one of the greatest stories of all time. Enjoy this episode of Pagecast!

Their mission is to inspire fellow home cooks to try something new and have fun in the kitchen. They take a deep dive into a recipe, giving ideas and tips for making it, and they also talk to interesting guests from the food world.⁠ ⁠ Today I get a solo show with Erin, who is a mother, knitter, lover of the great outdoors and (of course) an avid reader.

Meer dan 100 jaar ligt het al meer dan 3000 meter diep onder het water en ijs van de Waddle Sea, ten noordwesten van Antarctica.  De route die het schip destijds in 1915 had gevaren was bekend, ook waar het ongeveer was gezonken, maar die plek is vrij meedogenloos. Doorgewinterd pool-geoloog John Shears leidde de missie om het wrak te vinden en hij vertelde de BBC dat ze constant schuivende ijsplaten, stormen en temperaturen zo laag als -18 graden voor de kiezen kregen. Niet zo gek dus dat het niet eerder lukte om het schip te vinden.  In de audio hoor je meer over de staat waarin The Endurance nu verkeerd, de blijdschap onder de expeditieleden toen het eindelijk werd gevonden en over hoe het destijds met de bemanning is afgelopen. De BBC heeft een heel mooi verslag gemaakt, inclusief interviews met de expeditieleden: Endurance: Shackleton's lost ship is found in Antarctic.

It's one thing to encounter Mortality unexpectedly. It's quite another thing to voluntarily put yourself in situations where encounters with Mortality are around every corner. Yet that's what my guest on this episode does often--and with jaw-dropping results. What he's learned in his years of exploring the edges of human ability will inspire you to live with more guts, gusto, and abandon than ever before--to live life in full color.    Meet Doug Tumminello, Extreme Adventurer Doug Tumminello is an attorney by trade and a world-class adventurer at heart. His exploits include successful summits of 4 iconic mountains--including Everest and Denali, a Guinness-World-Record-setting team crossing of the Indian Ocean in a rowboat, a solo attempt to traverse the South Pole, and a plethora of other feats of endurance and perseverance like the Leadville Trail 100 Ultramarathon.    A Defining Mortality Moment Several years into a lucrative but all-consuming law career–at one point, Doug logged 11 months straight without a single day off–Doug got word that a friend had died in a climbing accident. Doug had fallen in love with climbing in college but put it aside once he started a family and kicked off his career. But his friend's death forced Doug to pause and reflect: "What am I doing?" I'm spending my life in this job, which I enjoy, but it's taking up all my time, all my efforts, all my energy, and I'm abandoning those things that I really love, being out in the wild and in nature. And [I] decided at that point, that I was going to get back to doing those things I really loved to do in the outdoors. And the [day after the memorial service], had started planning for an expedition to Denali.” And so an unexpected encounter with Mortality prompted Doug to begin pursuing adventures that voluntarily expose him to Mortality around every corner. He's never looked back.   Highlights from This Episode We cover a lot of rich territory in this conversation, including: The importance of responding to your heart's call and the costs of not doing so How to find the thing you're intended to do Embracing your mortality and organizing your life accordingly The “scary simple” way to break free of the gravitational pull of the status quo The importance of getting in touch with mystery Dispelling the illusion of safety and security Bold vs. timid living The thing that's worse than dying Which matters more, the journey or the destination?  Tune in to the full episode for the full impact of this conversation. I know it's made an impact on me. I'm chewing on what big adventure I might create for myself to tap into some of what Doug has learned through his experiences.    Making it Matter in YOUR Life Doug's extreme adventures have taught him about the riches available to us when we listen to the call of our heart and following it wherever it leads us. The bigger, the better. The more profound, the better. We go further, see more, do more, and understand more when we respond to your heart's call than we ever would otherwise--even if we don't fully achieve the thing that you set out to do. We'll live life in full color rather than a diminished life in the grays and in the shadows--deluded by a false sense of safety and security.  I want that full-color kind of life. What about you?  What call of your heart are you suppressing, shrinking away from in fear, or stalled out on because the many overwhelming "hows" are distracting you from the more important "what?" Maybe you can't yet hear the call of your heart because it's drowned out by the white noise of day-to-day living. Maybe it's time for some solitude, reflection, and contemplation so your heart's call can begin to make itself known.  What's your heart telling you right now? Whatever it is...do that thing.  Remember: You ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet.

Good morning everybody! Welcome back to the Motivated Entrepreneurs podcast. Today we have a book review and it's called "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing. In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization.

Over the last several decades a large part of the pharmacy shelf and floor space has been dedicated to non-healthcare items – makeup, food, toys, candy and more.  However, in the last few years, several pharmacy retail chains have been slowly been reclaiming some of that shelf and floor space for health-related items and services.  Your local Walgreen’s is one store that is seeking to do even more to bring health products, services and care back to the local neighborhood. In 2014, Walgreens took full ownership of Boots a UK and Switzerland based pharmacy chain.  Since that time, the company has been focused on expanding its reach in healthcare.  With us today to share more about their strategy is Giovanni Monti, SVP of Healthcare Services for Walgreens Boots Alliance.  Show notes: Books:  The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History  by John Barry; Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing Fierce Healthcare Innovation Awards:  https://pages.questexnetwork.com/rs/294-MQF-056/images/FIR-HC20.Final.pdf

Though he certainly was aware that their situation was desperate, he could not possibly have imagined then the physical and emotional demands that ultimately would be placed upon them, the rigors they would have to endure, the sufferings to which they would be subjected. Their plight was naked and terrifying in its simplicity: If they were to get out—they had to get themselves out. Shackleton returned to England a hero of the Empire. He was lionized wherever he went, knighted by the king, and decorated by every major country in the world.Making his primary argument for such an expedition, he wrote: It is the last great Polar journey that can be made. I feel it is up to the British nation to accomplish this, for we have been beaten at the conquest of the North Pole and beaten at the first conquest of the South Pole. There now remains the largest and most striking of all journeys—the crossing of the Continent. He was an explorer in the classic mold—utterly self-reliant, romantic, and swashbuckling. But the great leaders of historical record—the Napoleons, the Alexanders—have rarely fitted any conventional mold. Perhaps it’s an injustice to evaluate them in ordinary terms.When you are in a hopeless situation, when there seems no way out, get down on your knees, and pray for Shackleton. The motto of his family: BY ENDURANCE WE CONQUER. Shackleton said there once was a mouse who lived in a tavern. One night the mouse found a leaky barrel of beer, and he drank all he could hold. When the mouse had finished, he looked around arrogantly. “Now then,”  he said, “where’s that damn cat.”From studying the outcome of past expeditions, he believed that those that burdened themselves with equipment to meet every contingency had fared much worse than those that had sacrificed total preparedness for speed. Of all their enemies—the cold, the ice, the sea—he feared none more than demoralization. Shackleton was not an ordinary individual. He was a man who believed completely in his own invincibility, and to whom defeat was a reflection of personal inadequacy.It was pull or perish, and ignoring their sickening thirst, they leaned on their oars with what seemed the last of their strength. No matter what the odds, a man does not pin his last hope for survival on something and then expect that it will fail.The only thing to do was to hang on and endure. They were possessed by an angry determination to see the journey through—no matter what. I do not know how they did it, except they had to. ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

I’ve been working through the true account of Earnest Shackleton’s 1914 voyage from England to Antarctica where Shackleton, and an entire British nation were hoping he would be the first man to cross the Antarctic continent on foot.   I’m a little more than three fourths of the way through Alfred Lansing’s powerfully descriptive book “Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage” and already the principles of leadership in light of our current global pandemic are glaring.   Leadership is no longer a nice-to-have conference topic with palatable nuggets to fill mandatory business training time.  Leadership, as it stands today, is literally life and death as unemployment towers over what during the Great Recession now seems mild, and healthcare workers in certain locales throughout the world are teetering on acute burnout.     The idea behind endurance is the motion to push through hard things.  The assumption in the definition is that things are hard. Today, things are hard.   This was such a challenging expedition, Shackleton reportedly posted this advertisement in the London Times newspaper:   “Men wanted for a hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.”   The increased spike of pandemic infection and death, along with the unemployment chart in contrast to the bottoming out of the stock market chart are visual indicators that things are in the beginning stages of hard, and will likely get harder as the long hard winter of the health and economic challenge sets in.     In temperatures and conditions far worse than where many of us are situated right now, Shackleton led through unimaginable burden and courage.  Here are five takeaways that we can practically install right now so that in a decade or century, future generations may look back at our actions today and name it with the banner of endurance.   First, leadership requires an internal resolve and conviction based on truth and experience.  Shackleton had spent a lifetime studying, thinking, and exploring putting him in a position to have a steely, but mindful resolve.   Second, Shackleton would often go out alone late into the night and early morning to stand and  walk alone.     It is not lost on me that all of this is happening in and around holy week.  Likely the most infamous lonely, dark-knight-of-the-soul experience is accounted in the gospels of the Christian Bible, where Jesus is shown to have walked into a Middle Eastern garden and began sweating blood due to the immense pressure he was experiencing in anticipation for what was about to come.

I've been working through the true account of Earnest Shackleton's 1914 voyage from England to Antarctica where Shackleton, and an entire British nation were hoping he would be the first man to cross the Antarctic continent on foot.   I'm a little more than three fourths of the way through Alfred Lansing's powerfully descriptive book “Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage” and already the principles of leadership in light of our current global pandemic are glaring.   Leadership is no longer a nice-to-have conference topic with palatable nuggets to fill mandatory business training time.  Leadership, as it stands today, is literally life and death as unemployment towers over what during the Great Recession now seems mild, and healthcare workers in certain locales throughout the world are teetering on acute burnout.     The idea behind endurance is the motion to push through hard things.  The assumption in the definition is that things are hard. Today, things are hard.   This was such a challenging expedition, Shackleton reportedly posted this advertisement in the London Times newspaper:   “Men wanted for a hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.”   The increased spike of pandemic infection and death, along with the unemployment chart in contrast to the bottoming out of the stock market chart are visual indicators that things are in the beginning stages of hard, and will likely get harder as the long hard winter of the health and economic challenge sets in.     In temperatures and conditions far worse than where many of us are situated right now, Shackleton led through unimaginable burden and courage.  Here are five takeaways that we can practically install right now so that in a decade or century, future generations may look back at our actions today and name it with the banner of endurance.   First, leadership requires an internal resolve and conviction based on truth and experience.  Shackleton had spent a lifetime studying, thinking, and exploring putting him in a position to have a steely, but mindful resolve.   Second, Shackleton would often go out alone late into the night and early morning to stand and  walk alone.     It is not lost on me that all of this is happening in and around holy week.  Likely the most infamous lonely, dark-knight-of-the-soul experience is accounted in the gospels of the Christian Bible, where Jesus is shown to have walked into a Middle Eastern garden and began sweating blood due to the immense pressure he was experiencing in anticipation for what was about to come. Both leaders needed to retreat to have eyes to see and ears to hear.     Third, Shackleton surrounded himself with legitimate others-centered experts and allowed them to BE the expert.     On the Endurance voyage were dog handlers, navigators, boat pilots, rowers, engine mechanics, etc.  The entire expedition was fueled by experts in each area. This was not the Shackleton-show...he was the producer and everyone else was an actor on the main stage.  Shackleton called the plays and the team executed in Arctic temperatures and with self-less-ness.   Fourth, Shackleton had to be decisive because the Antarctic ice waits for no man.  Throughout being stranded on various ice drifts, Shackleton would call the men at a moments notice to completely pack camp, load up the life-boats and switch to an adjacent drift on an experiential hunch that it would help navigate them to their rescue destination.   The Antarctic sea was unpredictable, fluid (no pun intended), and unforgiving.  Activing decisively was fraught with risk, but indecisiveness was certain death.   Fifth, Shackleton ran his days within the gift of a schedule.  When there were things to do a schedule made plenty of sense due to the entire crew of 28 men needing rest and rhythm.  Even the menu each day was a careful selection of nutrition, preservation, and rationing.

Favorite app:   One of my biggest travel-related fears is getting lost or not knowing how to find my way in a new country or city. I religiously use Google Maps on my phone, but also make sure to download the relevant maps on maps.me prior to arriving in a new country/city, so that I have some reference even if I am unable to purchase a local SIM card. I used to be a bit of an anti-tech sort of person back in the day (I am still a technology-phobe in many ways). Let’s just say that I learned my lessons after relying on my father to navigate using a paper map, which led us up an unpaved mountain track in Turkey on a dark moonless night; or when I followed the flight paths of airliners to trace my way from Fontainebleau to Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport through morning rush-hour traffic. Must carry: Funnily enough, a wad of toilet tissue tucked into a side-pocket in my backpack and sanitizer. Without going into specifics, let’s just say that I’ve needed these two essential items in places as varied as in the middle of the steppes of Kazakhstan, or in the middle of the vast desert of northern Kenya. Favorite food:  Oh man, it’s like asking me to choose a favorite child. I am a total foodie and will eat anything and everything. It’s hard to select one specific food, but I’ll list a few dishes that I love eating and cooking: deliriously spicy and flavorsome Thai drunken noodles, a simple bowl of rice with either Indian dal or chicken curry, fish wet fry with a side of local greens from western Kenya, meze from Lebanon, a steaming bowl of Japanese ramen… okay, I will stop here. Favorite drink:   A glass of refreshing water straight from the tap. Nothing beats the thrill of opening a tap and pouring a glass of water that needs no further filtration or treatment. Favorite Airline:  I am one of those weird travelers with little/no loyalty to any airline or alliance. I am mostly driven in my choice of airline based on my country/city of residence. I have been mostly living in Kenya and South Africa for the past 6.5 years, which implies a heavy reliance on Kenya Airways, South African Airways, and Ethiopian Airlines. I also use Emirates quite often. However, I definitely have a soft spot for certain airlines that I have taken during the course of my travels. I love Emirates for their in-flight service and entertainment options; Swiss for their complimentary chocolates (I’m one of those gluttons that will pick up a fistful of said delicious treats J); Kulula for their irreverent humor; Cathay Pacific for their fabulous premium class that is great value for money; IndiGo for showing that low-cost does not necessarily mean terrible service and seats that don’t recline—to name a few. I even grudgingly admit respect for Ethiopian. Flight schedules are perennially wacky, connection in Addis can be tight, crossing security in Addis tests the patience of the calmest of travelers, and luggage has a tendency of taking a route distinct from your own itinerary. Nevertheless, their Africa network (and increasingly connections to other continents) is unbeatable and they will get you from point A to point B, even if it means wheezing and puffing as you sprint between gates in Addis’ rarified air to make your connection when your flight arrives late (the norm, rather than the exception). Favorite Hotel: I am a big fan of patronizing locally-owned hotels and guest houses. Most times, I will book a relatively cheap place through booking.com or AirBnB, as opposed to an international chain hotel. Don’t get me wrong; there are times when I will happily fall into the embrace of a Sheraton or Hilton, knowing that I won’t need to worry about the shower pressure or not having a kettle in the room. But to me, these international hotels are often sterile. I mean, you could be in Dushanbe or Nairobi or Milan and not really perceive a difference in the way such international chain hotels are designed and laid out. On the other hand, no two locally-owned places are the same and plus, the money you pay goes more directly to support the local economy. Be it the amazing bed and breakfast in northern Greece that took us on an impromptu stroll through their orchards at dawn to pick fruits for breakfast; the cute hotel in Swakopmund, Namibia that left a bottle of wine and a huge box of chocolates on my bed to “warm” me up when the hot water wasn’t working; or the AirBnB in Nairobi that filled our fridge to the rafters with home-cooked food (“you kids will be out partying and there has to be healthy food in the fridge when you return”)—nothing beats a locally-owned property.

On this episode, I get to chat with a physician who’s splitting his time between expeditions in Antarctica and on the motorcycle race track. My next guest, Dr. Nicholas Steinour, is an Emergency Medicine physician currently practicing in Austin, Texas. Dr. Steinour’s mantra is “enjoy things that make you fully present in life,” and without a doubt, he is living a life outside the box. You’re going to hear about how he’s become part of a team of physicians that provide medical support to expeditions in the South Pole. We’re talking about caring for seal bites, sea sickness, and of course hypothermia. He’s also combined his childhood passion for motorcycles with medicine and provides medical care to various racing circuits that are in Texas.     Resources discussed: Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage

In this episode of Critical Matters, we explore the intersection of high-altitude medicine and physiology with critical care. Our guest is Robert B. Shoene, MD, FACP. Dr. Shoene is Associate Director, ICU and Critical Care, at St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco. Dr. Shoene is a prolific author and researcher with more than 100 publications. His research has focused on pulmonary physiology and altitude medicine, and he has been part of numerous research expeditions to locations such as Mt. Everest and Denali.

We're going to discover how incredible people disrupt their lives, their industries, and the world to create a powerful impact. We're chatting with return guest Cameron Herold. He is a best-selling author, coach, and speaker who strives to simplify business problems and guide business leaders to previously unimagined success. Cameron also created the http://www.cooalliance.com/ (COO Alliance), an opportunity for second-in-command business leaders (or Chief Operating Officers) to connect and grow. These people are often left behind the curtains and don't get any of the attention, events, or masterminds that CEOs and other leaders often get. “Perfect is the enemy of good.” Cameron has a unique (and potentially counter-intuitive) perspective on disruption: “It's less about innovating, and it's more about rip off and duplicate.” Momentum creates momentum, and far too often entrepreneurs try to find a newer, cooler, or better way to do something instead of taking the really great systems that already exist and just doing it. Sometimes disruption is the result of significant momentum, not significant innovation. To build momentum, your business needs more than just a Minimally Viable Product – it needs Minimally Viable Everything: emails, meetings, software, etc. Perfect is the enemy of good. How did Cameron train his teams to pursue momentum? It's a simple process...

Today’s special guest is Richard Rierson, host of Dose of Leadership and The Courageous Leadership Podcast. Richard is a father of four daughters, a husband, a leadership trainor, coach, speaker, and a pilot. Richard’s passion for leadership is just astounding! He recently launched the new Becoming A Leader course, a four-part leadership video series intended to teach people how to increase their influence and punch mediocrity right in the face! In this episode, you will learn more about: His passion for leadership What the marine corps taught him about leadership Leadership at work vs. leadership at home Dealing with chaos The 4C’s of Leadership Why the 4C’s should be a lifelong pursuit The most overlooked aspect of leadership Richard’s biggest liberating leadership moment How to deal with mistakes The biggest misconception of leadership Why you should join the Becoming A Leader course The infinite whiteboard video animation tool Richard uses! Items mentioned: How he got his passion for leadership Leaving the marine corps after 10 years Working for American Airlines (officially on the day of the 9/11 attack!) Joining the corporate arena by October 2001 How his Marine Corps experience impacted his success Understanding that leadership is central to everything that you do: Focus on yourself first. Focus on your family. Everything else will follow. The 4 C’s of Leadership Calm Confident Consistent Courageous Why the 4 C’s should become a lifelong pursuit It’s the essence and the beginning of establishing leadership foundation and culture within yourself. It releases fear, limiting doubts, and uncertainty in yourself. People will unconsciously see that in you and that gives them the freedom to do the same. The most overlooked aspect of leadership: The idea that leaders have to have all the answers Being afraid to admit mistakes. Being afraid to say they don’t know. Figuring they can’t be the one that doesn’t have the answers. Richard’s biggest liberating moment in his leadership career: When he finally accepted and stopped caring about being wrong Dealing with mistakes: No one likes to make mistakes; but if you make them, embrace them. It’s not necessarily a failure but a great learning opportunity The powerful combination: Admitting you don’t have the answers + You know that it’s going to get done! The biggest misconception of leadership: Being in the position to lead to effect change.
