Podcasts about Mount Kilimanjaro

In this episode of the Building Better Humans Project, I want to challenge the way you think about fun. Most people spend their lives chasing what is known as Type One Fun—the things that are enjoyable in the moment. Good food, comfortable weekends, nights out with friends, holidays, entertainment and all the things that make us feel good right now. But what if the best moments of your life aren't found in comfort? What if the moments that shape you the most are actually the ones that suck while you're doing them? In this episode, I unpack the difference between Type One Fun and Type Two Fun. Type Two Fun is the kind of experience that feels hard, uncomfortable and sometimes downright miserable while you're in it. It's the challenge you almost didn't take on. It's the adventure that pushed you to your limits. It's the difficult conversation, the tough workout, the mountain climb, the business risk, or the moment you chose courage over comfort. I've seen it countless times on the Kokoda Track, on Mount Kilimanjaro and through years of working with people who are trying to become the best version of themselves. The experiences people complain about the most while they're happening often become the stories they treasure the most afterwards. Because growth doesn't live inside your comfort zone. We live in a world that has become obsessed with convenience, comfort and instant gratification. The problem is that comfort rarely changes us. Challenge does. Adversity does. Pushing yourself beyond what you thought was possible does. Throughout this episode, I share some personal stories and lessons from the adventures, challenges and experiences that have taught me this lesson time and time again. More importantly, I challenge you to look at your own life and ask yourself whether you've become too comfortable. If you're looking for more confidence, resilience, growth and fulfilment, the answer may not be found in making life easier. It may be found in deliberately choosing the harder path. The truth is, the best stories of your life are rarely written when everything is easy. They're written when you decide to embrace a little more Type Two Fun. Enjoy the episode.

A conversation with Trevor Muir -- leadership coach, keynote speaker, poet, and co-founder of SurePoint, the Alberta-based company he helped scale from $4 million to over $120 million in revenue while holding on to its people through a near-bankruptcy and a pandemic. This is not an episode about farming or fuel prices. It is a conversation about what happens when you get everything you thought you wanted and still feel empty on the bathroom floor of a condo you own. It is about terminal uniqueness -- the belief that nobody could possibly understand -- and the slow, expensive way most of us learn it isn't true. Trevor and I met earlier this year in a leadership course he was teaching with Corliss Russell. I broke down in the intro. A room full of oilfield and farm guys went there with me.

In this episode, Jeff Gross sits down with Madrid-born tennis standout turned Miami luxury real estate mogul and world-class ultra-endurance athlete, Alvaro Nuñez. Alvaro shares the incredible narrative arc of his life—from facing a sudden U.S. visa lottery rejection to pivoting immediately to launch an international high-net-worth hospitality empire, which eventually evolved into the Super Luxury Group. He candidly details the profound mental breakthroughs he achieved through a 10-day Vipassana meditation course, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, enduring a grueling seven-day total darkness cave retreat, and running six marathons across the Sahara Desert to raise mental health awareness. Alvaro and Jeff dive deep into regulating the nervous system, building luxury creator houses focused on clean community networking, and why the ultimate metric of elite success comes down to a deceptively simple standard: doing exactly what you say you will do.

Have you ever stayed somewhere, a job, a relationship, a version of yourself, not because it felt right, but because it paid the bills or because it's what you were supposed to do? My friend Spencer West has. And what he did next is one of the most quietly courageous things I've heard in a long time. Spencer was born with a genetic condition that led to the amputation of both legs before he was five. He came out as gay when the world around him said that wasn't an option. He spent years in a career that looked great from the outside and felt completely hollow on the inside.  And then, one day, he said enough, and he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. On his hands. To raise clean water for thousands of people. What got me was the Alchemist quote he shared at the end of our conversation (you'll hear it -- just stay with us to the close).  And the reminder that the universe was calling the whole time. He just had to pick up. Be sure to listen to the calls you're getting from the universe, and please, always be kind, gentle, and loving with yourself.   About Spencer West Spencer West is a motivational speaker, content creator, and author of Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself. Born with a genetic condition that led to the amputation of both legs before age five, Spencer spent years navigating a world full of expectations that were never his -- until he finally stopped pretending and started listening to his soul. In 2012, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on his hands, raising clean water for 12,500 people in East Africa. Today he travels the world helping others ask the questions that change everything: Why am I here? And what would it look like to actually break free?   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Julie Reisler is a heart-led intuitive guide, TEDx speaker, author, and host of The You-est You® Podcast.

Jay Ramsden is an Empty Nest Transformation Coach, Personal and Executive Coach, Motivational and Keynote Speaker, and host of This Empty Nest Life podcast. As the founder of "The Empty Nest Coach" and "This Empty Nest Life," Jay has turned his personal journey of overcoming significant life challenges into a beacon of light and hope for countless individuals who are seeking purpose and direction. He has his own experience of transitioning from Adversity to Adventure, and now he empowers Empty Nesters and Entrepreneurs to climb their own mountains. Jay's story is one of remarkable resilience and courage, losing his home to a fire in 2007, a devastating event which tested his family's strength and adaptability, dealing with the trials of the pandemic as an educator, and finally deciding to reinvent himself after a 30-year career in education. Jay's journey of transformation reached new heights when he decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro as an empty nester. This wasn't just a physical challenge; it was a statement about what's possible when we say "YES" to life's opportunities. Jay's ascent of Kilimanjaro taught him a crucial lesson that now underpins his coaching philosophy: sometimes, you need to go slow to go fast. This insight translates powerfully to both the empty nest journey and entrepreneurial pursuits, where rushing through challenges can hinder true growth and innovation. But Jay didn't stop there. He embarked on the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage that further shaped his approach to life and coaching. On this journey, Jay discovered the joy of missing out (JOMO) – a concept that resonates deeply with empty nesters struggling with the fear of missing out (FOMO) on their children's lives, and with entrepreneurs learning to prioritize effectively. These experiences cemented Jay's belief that every step in life can and should be intentional, filled with purpose. Download this information-packed and inspirational episode to hear Jay's remarkable journey and discover how we can all transform our lives, say "YES" to life's opportunities, transform ourselves from Adversity to Adventure, and climb our own mountains. Such a positive message!     QUOTE: "Every step has purpose." ~Jay Ramsden Connect with Jay: https://www.thisemptynestlife.com/your-me-era-mini-offer https://www.thisemptynestlife.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jramsdennc/ https://www.youtube.com/@theemptynestcoach https://www.instagram.com/the.emptynest.coach https://www.tiktok.com/@the.emptynest.coach Want to be a guest on TheFemiNinjaProject?

Robert was born with Fibular Hemimelia, a birth defect that led to his amputation at just 10 months old. Facing numerous challenges throughout his youth, including the absence of a consistent father figure, surviving abuse, and a life-altering house fire, Robert's journey was far from easy. However, these trials only fortified his resolve, transforming his struggles into a powerful narrative of resilience and determination. Now a devoted father and husband, Robert has turned his hardships into a source of inspiration for others. He has traveled extensively across the country, sharing his message of hope and resilience at conferences, corporations, and educational institutions, reaching over 100,000 students. His compelling talks have graced stages at renowned organizations such as CNBC, NIKE, Microsoft, the CEO Warrior, and the US Department of Housing. https://www.robertanthony.us/about ***********Susanne Mueller / www.susannemueller.biz TEDX Talk, May 2022: Running and Life: 5KM Formula for YOUR Successhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_5Er1cLvY Join Substack: https://substack.com/@susannemuellernyc?Enjoy one coaching session for free if you are a yearly subscriber. 800+ weekly blogs / 500+ podcasts / 1 Ironman Triathlon / 5 half ironman races / 26 marathon races / 4 books / 1 Mt.

Rick Ross explains why his doctor shut down his Mount Kilimanjaro plans, then breaks down his real happy place: cutting grass, raising buffalo and cows, and hosting 10,000-person car shows at Evander Holyfield's former 55,000-square-foot Atlanta mansion he bought for $5.9M and turned into a film location.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 25% of U.S. adults—roughly 60 million Americans—live with chronic pain, while approximately 8.5% experience high-impact chronic pain that significantly limits their daily life or ability to work. Chronic pain is one of the most misunderstood health challenges in modern society, often forcing people to navigate invisible suffering, medical uncertainty, and profound personal transformation. In this deeply honest and inspiring episode, former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow Nancy Deyo shares her extraordinary story of survival, identity loss, and rebuilding after a medical crisis on Mount Kilimanjaro changed the course of her life. What began as an ambitious climb turned into a fifteen-year journey marked by misdiagnosis, persistent pain, opioid dependence, and the collapse of the high-performance mindset that once fueled her success. Nancy opens up about the emotional and psychological realities of chronic illness, including what happens when discipline, endurance, and “pushing through” are no longer enough. Unable to sit because of debilitating pain, she attended graduate school lying on an army cot, later traveled across the world stretched across three airplane seats, and eventually found her way back into professional life—all while learning how to adapt to a body and future she could no longer control. Drawing from the experiences detailed in her forthcoming memoir, Perilous Ascent, Nancy offers people a powerful conversation about resilience that goes beyond motivational clichés. This episode explores the hidden costs of achievement culture, the loneliness of invisible illness, navigating flawed healthcare systems, and how to reconstruct identity when life no longer responds to effort in the same way it once did. Whether you are facing chronic pain, burnout, major life disruption, or simply searching for a more sustainable understanding of success and resilience, this conversation delivers practical wisdom, emotional honesty, and a compelling reminder that adaptation—not perfection—can become the path forward.   For more information: https://nancydeyo.com/ Discover More: https://nancydeyo.substack.com/   Learn more about your ad choices.

Nancy Deyo, at 16,000 feet on Mount Kilimanjaro, collapsed in pain so severe she thought she was dying. That moment marked the start of a fifteen-year medical odyssey. As doctors told her she was “fine,” chronic pain took over her life. She lost the ability to sit and lived lying down.'

In 2018, Andrew O'Brien nearly lost his leg — and with it, the belief that his body could ever carry him the way it once had. Today, he's running 26.2 miles in Cape Town on May 24th to raise money for Congolese refugees through UNHCR, fueled by a love for Africa that was born during his first visit to Cape Town in 2019, was deepened in the internally displaced camps of Goma in the DRC in 2024, and cemented in the refugee camps of Burundi in 2025. This is a comeback story, a mission, and a whole lot of heart — and we're so glad he's back on the show to share it.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comEn la tierra de Kenia, donde las vastas sabanas se encuentran con los horizontes infinitos, existió un tiempo en que el mundo estaba envuelto en una oscuridad eterna. El sol, la luna y las estrellas estaban ocultos a la gente, y vivían en miedo y desesperación. Los animales vagaban sin rumbo sin la guía de la luz del día, y las plantas luchaban por crecer sin el toque nutritivo de los rayos del sol.En medio de esta oscuridad, un joven guerrero maasai llamado Sankara surgió de una humilde aldea. Poseía un espíritu curioso y un deseo insaciable de desentrañar los misterios del universo. Sankara pasaba sus días observando el mundo natural, estudiando las estrellas y haciendo preguntas a los ancianos. Anhelaba el conocimiento para traer luz a su pueblo, para restaurar la conexión entre los cielos y la tierra.Un día, mientras Sankara vagaba por lo más profundo de la vasta naturaleza salvaje, se encontró con un majestuoso y sabio anciano llamado Simba Arati, el guardián león del Gran Valle de la Grieta. Simba Arati era conocido por su profundo conocimiento del cosmos y de los secretos de los cielos. El león saludó a Sankara con una presencia suave pero poderosa, y el joven guerrero sintió una inmediata reverencia."Veo la ardiente curiosidad en tus ojos, joven", dijo Simba Arati con una voz que retumbaba como un trueno lejano. "Dime, ¿por qué te has aventurado en el corazón de la naturaleza?"Sankara se inclinó respetuosamente ante el león y respondió: "Gran Simba Arati, busco comprender la oscuridad que envuelve nuestro mundo y los secretos de los cielos. Deseo traer luz y esperanza a mi pueblo que sufre en ausencia del sol, la luna y las estrellas."El sabio león asintió con aprobación y habló: "Los cielos una vez estuvieron abiertos para nosotros, y el cielo era un lienzo de colores y brillo. Pero hace mucho tiempo, una gran calamidad cayó sobre nuestro mundo. Los dioses se enfurecieron por la codicia y corrupción del pueblo, y cerraron las puertas del cielo, sumiendo el mundo en la oscuridad."Sankara escuchaba atentamente, con el corazón pesado por el peso de esta revelación. "¿Hay alguna forma de restaurar la gracia de los cielos y devolver la luz?" preguntó con esperanza en la voz.Simba Arati sonrió y respondió: "En efecto, hay una manera. Pero requerirá un gran sacrificio y una determinación inquebrantable. Para devolver la luz al mundo, debes embarcarte en un peligroso viaje hasta la cima del Monte Kilimanjaro, el techo de África. Allí encontrarás a los espíritus divinos del cielo y suplicarás por su misericordia."Decidido a cumplir su misión, Sankara emprendió su viaje hacia el Monte Kilimanjaro. El ascenso fue traicionero, lleno de desafíos y obstáculos diseñados para poner a prueba su determinación. Pero el joven guerrero siguió adelante, impulsado por su determinación de devolver la luz al mundo y traer esperanza a su pueblo.Tras días de arduo viaje, Sankara alcanzó la cima nevada del Kilimanjaro, un lugar que tocaba los mismos cielos. Allí se encontró con tres espíritus divinos: Nashipai, el espíritu del sol; Mwezi, el espíritu de la luna; y Nyota, el espíritu de las estrellas. Estos seres etéreos brillaban con un resplandor celestial, y su presencia llenaba a Sankara de asombro y reverencia.Sankara se arrodilló ante los espíritus divinos y suplicó por su misericordia. Habló del sufrimiento de su pueblo y de la oscuridad que había asolado la tierra durante generaciones. Compartió su sueño de reavivar la gracia del cielo y restaurar la conexión entre el cielo y la tierra.Los espíritus escucharon la sincera súplica de Sankara y se conmovieron por su sinceridad y valentía. Nashipai, el espíritu del

Starting a company feels like eating glass for breakfast. Every morning. Olympic rowing hopeful turned five-time founder Patrick Sweeney sits down with Joe De Sena to break down exactly what it takes to cross the belief gap that kills most startups before they ever gain traction.   Patrick went from setting rowing records at UNH to finishing second at the Olympic Trials in the single scull, then carried that same pain tolerance straight into building and exiting technology companies. He explains how the OODA loop, a military fighter pilot doctrine, can replace startup chaos with a weekly cadence. Patrick also unpacks why 95% of top CEOs admit to impostor syndrome and how shared belief maps prevent the illusion of alignment that tears founding teams apart.   Things You Will Learn: Build a shared belief map that exposes hidden misalignment before it breaks your team. Run weekly OODA loop stand-ups that replace startup chaos with structured cadence. Apply the belief gap framework to test hypotheses, track market-product fit, and know when to hit the kill switch.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: OODA Loop Stand-Up: A 30-minute weekly cadence to observe, orient, decide, and act so founders stop reacting and start executing. Shared Belief Map: A team alignment exercise that surfaces hidden disagreements between cofounders and forces clarity on core beliefs versus testable hypotheses. Belief Gap Framework: A model for tracking internal believers (employees, partners) and external believers (customers, investors) to measure whether your startup is crossing from conviction to traction.   If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Patrick Sweeney built a life that looked successful on paper: serial entrepreneur, investor, multiple exits, but beneath it lived a quiet, persistent fear that kept him playing small. A rare leukemia diagnosis forced a confrontation with mortality and sparked a complete mindset rewiring: fear wasn't the enemy, it was fuel.   Since beating cancer, Patrick has turned that philosophy into action, setting cycling world-firsts on Kilimanjaro and Elbrus, competing in extreme endurance races, authoring the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Fear Is Fuel, and teaching leaders how to convert anxiety into calculated risk, resilience, and bold execution.   Connect to Patrick:  Website: https://www.pjsweeney.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefearguru/?_ga=2.160567998.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PatrickSweeneyFearGuru/?_ga=2.265952780.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefearguru/?_ga=2.265952780.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9llimdnGK79yk3K_ihYQEQ  X/ Twitter:  https://x.com/PJSweeney?_ga=2.265952780.289526298.1772475980-622572230.1772475980  Book Patrick for an event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MnMjHNo9Bs   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

Guest BioLucinda Rome is the Founder and Managing Director of Ganders Travel, a bespoke travel company specializing in journeys throughout East and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean. Her deep connection to Africa began nearly twenty years ago when she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charity and followed it with a safari in Kenya's Masai Mara. What started as a single adventure quickly became a defining turning point in her life and career.Soon after that first trip, Lucinda moved to Zambia to work in remote bush camps. What was meant to be a five-month experience turned into four formative years working with two of the country's leading safari operators. After an unexpected injury brought her back home, she redirected her expertise into designing tailor-made African journeys. Drawing on extensive firsthand knowledge and continued travel throughout the continent, she now creates highly personalized itineraries that reflect both the diversity of Africa and the individual goals of each traveler.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Lucinda about her journey from early guiding roles to becoming a specialist in African travel and the founder of Ganders Travel. She shares how climbing Kilimanjaro and experiencing safari life firsthand shaped her understanding of what makes travel transformative rather than transactional.Lucinda offers an honest look at the realities of climbing Kilimanjaro, explaining why success on the mountain depends as much on mindset as it does on fitness. She discusses the critical role of acclimatization, the importance of experienced guides, and the team dynamic that develops during high-altitude treks. Drawing from her years managing safari camps in Zambia, she also reflects on the immersive sensory elements of African travel—from the sounds of wildlife after dark to the distinctive scents of the bush.The conversation also explores the art of bespoke itinerary design. Lucinda explains why understanding a client's motivations, expectations, and travel style is essential to creating meaningful experiences. Whether focused on wildlife photography, culinary discovery, or cultural connection, she emphasizes that thoughtful planning is what turns a trip into a lasting memory.

From her journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro to the daily mindset work of setting boundaries, this conversation provides the practical tools needed to silence your inner critic and stop playing small.

Garbage, Recycling, Mt. Kilimanjaro & CrossFit. John is a husband, a father & the CEO of a recycling company. He started doing CrossFit 20 years ago. During that time he has tried many different programs, training styles & even climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. All of his travels brought him to Linchpin & he explains why.

Send us Fan MailI'm talking today with three truly remarkable men, all veterans, all of whom have not let the loss of their eyesight and sometimes more affect their willingness to help others in monumental ways. They have started foundations and programs so others are not glued to their couches but instead get active and find meaning in their lives. They have found ways to adapt to the world to produce podcasts and music, and telling stories about overcoming steep odds. They have set and attained what would be unfathomable goals to most people that are even more impressive for the blind. They have also formed a tight bond that has led them to the Top of Africa – the summit of Kilimanjaro. Imagine if you will a multi-day trek starting through the jungles and pouring rain up an Alpine peak that tops out at 19,341 feet, all without vision. One of them, Aaron Hale, even first ran 200 miles from the Indian Ocean to the base of Kilimanjaro to join the climb with the others, Steve Baskis and Lonnie Bedwell, who by the way is the first blind person to kayak the length of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. The climb up Kili itself is arduous enough for most, but being blind adds elements that others wouldn't encounter. Obviously, every step on a rocky trail can be riskier. Or take a little thing like leaving your tent in the middle of the night to answer nature's call when no amount of lights is going to help tell you if there is a cliff a step ahead. I think you'll be riveted to hearing this enthralling story. I would recommend following up this WASP episode by listening to Steve's three-part series telling of their climb on the Blind Endeavors podcast channel. And also check out their other amazing achievements on their web sites, which I have listed in the show notes, including Lonnie's quest to complete the last leg of the Explorer's Grand Slam, which includes reaching the top of the Seven Summits, which are the tallest peaks on every continent, as well as trekking to the North and South Poles. The only part he's missing is the North Pole, soon to come. Steve meanwhile, is working to sail solo across the Atlantic Ocean.Blind Endeavors Media Hub:https://blindendeavors.org/on-the-mountain-to-tell-the-story-a-blind-endeavors-foundation-mission-to-kilimanjaro/Steve Baskisstevebaskis.comFacebook Steven C BaskisInstagram and X @stevebaskisYouTube @Baskis360 and baskis360.comLinkedIn Steven BaskisLonnie Bedwelllonniebedwell.comlonnie.r.bedwell@gmail.comFacebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn @Lonnie BedwellAaron HaleFacebook www.facebook.com/aclayhaleInstagram @aclayhaleLinkedIn Aaron Halepointofimpactpod.comYouTube @pointofimpactpodcastBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

Send us Fan MailShe's calling in from the backcountry of Utah with a Starlink connection, fresh off slot canyons, desert miles, and yet another FKT. Erin Tun is back, and our catch-up quickly turns into a deep look at what it actually takes to move fast in the mountains when the air is thin and the consequences are real.We dig into Erin's four-month South America push anchored by altitude training in Quito, Ecuador, where repeat climbs and local trail running community support helped set the table for bigger goals. From Cotopaxi and other 5,000 meter peaks to the main objective, Aconcagua, Erin breaks down the real-world mechanics of a fastest known time attempt: scouting versus full summits, choosing lines, managing snow and scree, and why a perfect weather window can disappear overnight. She also describes what performance feels like above 21,000 to 22,000 feet, where “going hard” often means relentless efficiency and not stopping, not running a pretty pace.From there, the lens widens to the Seven Summits record path, including why Kilimanjaro might be next and what makes an Everest speed record uniquely complicated: oxygen choices, north versus south side routes, political access, permits, and the funding reality behind big peaks. We also talk sponsorship in a way most podcasts skip, including Erin's move to Tava, her hands-on role testing prototypes, and how building a sustainable career as a modern mountain athlete now includes storytelling, not just results. If you want the behind-the-scenes version of these adventures, Erin and Chris are launching a YouTube channel to show what Instagram can't.If you like this kind of mountain running, high altitude training, and adventure athlete problem-solving, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.Follow Erin on IG - @erin_ton7Use code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Today on Theme Park Trader, we are going off-road into the 110-acre savanna of Disney's Animal Kingdom to uncover the secrets of Kilimanjaro Safaris. Most guests see a peaceful photo safari, but the history of this attraction is wilder than the animals themselves. We're talking about the original "dark" storyline involving poachers and a bloody elephant carcass, the "invisible" engineering that keeps the lions from eating the zebras, and the high-tech tricks—like air-conditioned rocks—that make the magic happen. In this episode, we dive into: The Big Red Mystery: Why Disney completely changed the ride's plot in 2012. The Impossible Road: Why the "mud" you're driving on is actually a feat of civil engineering. Animal Secrets: How keepers use "dinner bells" and climate-controlled habitats to keep the savanna active. The Simba Fleet: The $150,000 price tag of your safari truck and the grueling training of the drivers. 2026 Updates: What the construction of Tropical Americas means for your view of the Harambe Reserve.

In this episode of She Who Dares Wins, Michelle sits down with long‑distance trekker and world‑record holder Lindsey, whose life has been completely transformed by nature, fear, and radical honesty. Once running an interior design business and working 100‑hour weeks, Lindsey used the forced pause of Covid to reassess everything her work, her relationships, and the life she was “supposed” to want. She opens up about walking away from two marriages impacted by addiction, leaving with “absolutely nothing,” and choosing her mental health and truth over the safety of staying.Lindsey then takes us on her 6,137‑mile trek around the entire coastline of Great Britain 298 days, marathon and ultra distances, no ferries, no shortcut bridges and shares how living 67% of her life outdoors has completely rewired her nervous system, priorities, and definition of “enough.” We talk about extreme fear and presence on Wales' infamous Crib Goch ridge, the unexpected kindness of strangers, and why she believes nature is “nutrition” for anxiety, depression, and burnout.Timestamps[0:00:00] – Crib Goch & the “Live It Now” ListLindsey introduces her recent Crib Goch ridge adventure in Wales, explains her “live it now list” (not a bucket list), and describes how facing that extreme exposure forced her into total presence and calm.[0:06:24] – Covid, Overwork & the Decision to Change EverythingLindsey shares how working 100-hour weeks in her interior design business and the forced pause of Covid helped her reconnect with her kids, nature, and her own happiness — and led to a complete life and career pivot at 40.[0:10:19] – Addiction, Leaving with Nothing & Choosing HerselfShe opens up about two marriages impacted by addiction, her coping mechanisms, and the terrifying choice to walk away with “absolutely nothing” in order to protect her mental health and live in alignment with her truth.[0:17:02] – The 6,137-Mile Trek Around Great BritainLindsey breaks down planning and walking the full coastline of Great Britain: 298 days, no ferries, no shortcut bridges, marathon and ultra-distance days, and how that journey completely rewired what she values.[0:21:35] – Kindness on the Trail & How People Showed UpFrom gifted hostel beds to strangers offering water and walking alongside her, Lindsey talks about over 160 free nights, 700+ companions, and how the trek restored her faith in human kindness.[0:28:07] – Nature as Daily Nutrition & Mental HealthA deep dive into how much time we really spend indoors, what 4,800 hours outside did to her nervous system, and why she believes nature is “nutrition” and a key missing piece in anxiety and depression.[0:41:27] – She Who Dares Wins Camp & Women's Outdoor ExperiencesMichelle shares plans for the She Who Dares Wins camping event (wild swimming, bushcraft, campfire connection), and Lindsey reflects on why stripping back comfort and getting outside is so powerful for women.[0:43:34] – Kilimanjaro in 24 Hours: The Next Big ChallengeLindsey introduces her all-women world-record attempt to summit and descend Kilimanjaro in 24 hours: team dynamics, breathwork and altitude training, prep climbs, and learning to let others see “all of her.”[0:54:36] – Your Dare from Lindsey: Face One Fear This MonthIn the bonus segment, Lindsey sets a practical dare for listeners: pick one fear from the last month and face it head-on. She and Michelle talk about micro-fears (emails, conversations, small decisions), fear of failure, and how tiny brave acts compound into real transformation.Join Dare Club www.shewhodareswins.com Hosted on Acast.

What if the worst thing that ever happened to you turned out to be the very thing that made you unstoppable? In this episode, Aaron Hale, retired Army Staff Sergeant, EOD Team Leader, speaker, podcaster, real estate investor, and small business owner, shares one of the most extraordinary stories of resilience you will ever hear. In 2011, an IED blast in Afghanistan took his eyes. Four years later, bacterial meningitis took what was left of his hearing. He is now both blind and deaf, and he just ran 205 miles across Kenya and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, believed to be the first blind-deaf person to ever accomplish that feat. Aaron doesn't call himself a victim. He calls his injuries divine direction. And through his podcast, speaking, and the way he shows up every single day, he is busy proving that the story of your struggle can become the blueprint for someone else's survival.   [00:04:20] Just Back from Africa: The Seed to Summit Trek Ran 205 miles from Mombasa, Kenya to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro over nine days Climbed the tallest peak in Africa, completing a full seed to summit expedition Believes he is the first blind-deaf person to ever accomplish this Fulfilled a plan made 11 years earlier, interrupted by the meningitis that stole his hearing [00:06:20] What He Does Now Speaker, podcaster, real estate investor, and co-owner of Extra Ordinary Delights, an artisan chocolate company Calls himself an excuse killer; uses adversity as fuel, not an anchor Hosts the Point of Impact podcast to show people how to become their best selves [00:09:00] Blind, Deaf, and Still Showing Up Lost his eyes in an IED blast in 2011 while serving as an Army EOD technician Bacterial meningitis in 2015 took the rest of his hearing and destroyed his inner ear balance Uses a cochlear implant connected directly to his auditory nerve to communicate [00:12:20] How He Got Here: From Navy Chef to Army Bomb Technician Got asked to leave college, joined the Navy, and became a chef to a three-star admiral in Italy Left cooking, joined the Army, and became an EOD bomb technician Was on his third deployment when the IED blast happened, just days after seeing his firstborn son turn one [00:14:40] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Kyle Kyle, a fellow EOD team leader, was injured two weeks before Aaron and was already at Walter Reed when Aaron arrived He wheeled into Aaron's room, made him feel the beard he had grown out of defiance, and cracked jokes about his condition He was at full spirit just two weeks after losing a leg That moment showed Aaron he had no excuse to quit; warriors up and down those halls were all still fighting [00:19:20] What Inspires Him: The Gift of a Story In the military, relationships mean survival; you trust the people on your left and right with your life After his injury, he felt like he lost that brotherhood, but it transformed into something new He was given the gift of a story and the ability to flick the light switch on for others Getting to help someone see their situation differently is both altruistic and deeply personally rewarding [00:22:40] The Relationships That Opened the World: Eric Weihenmayer and Lonnie Bedwell Began searching online for blind people living actively: blind plus outdoors, blind plus fitness, blind plus anything Found Eric Weihenmayer, the first blind person to climb all seven summits; went climbing with him in the Peruvian Andes at 19,000 feet Found Lonnie Bedwell, the first blind person to kayak the entire Grand Canyon solo; went kayaking with him too These men took his thinking from a peephole to a bay window; he had been thinking far too small [00:26:00] What That Perspective Unlocked Registered for four marathons before ever running longer than a 10K Three of those qualified him for the Boston Marathon, which he ran in 2015 In 2023 became the first blind-deaf person to finish Badwater 135, the toughest foot race on Earth [00:29:40] The Impact He Got to Make: Kilimanjaro with 25 Friends When he arrived at Kilimanjaro, 25 friends, family, and associates had come to be part of the climb Many had never done anything like it; his story inspired them to say yes A close friend from his military real estate mastermind, someone he had spoken with weekly for years, climbed it right alongside him [00:31:00] Aaron's Marathon Training Day Reached out to Team Red, White and Blue for help training for his first marathon They organized a weekly Sunday run called Aaron's Marathon Training Day, open to anyone at any pace Week after week more people showed up; it outgrew him and became a full community movement He got to be the catalyst; it kept snowballing long after it needed him to carry it   KEY QUOTES "The difference between a rut and a grave is how long you lay there. I did not want to get stuck on the couch." — Aaron Hale "Someday the story of your struggle may be the blueprint for somebody else's survival." — Aaron Hale "We can't control the blast, but we can control the next step. And almost always, we can't accomplish the impossible without a team." — Aaron Hale CONNECT WITH AARON HALE

This episode is a ride. Joseph welcomes Aaron Hale, a man who has walked through fire—literally—and come out with a mission bigger than himself. After an IED blast took his sight and a later illness took his hearing, Aaron could have stopped. Instead, he started climbing.Aaron takes us inside the mindset that carried him through a 200‑mile training hike, the grueling lead‑up to his Mount Kilimanjaro ascent. He talks about pain, purpose, and the quiet moments where he had to choose—again and again—to keep moving.This isn't just a story about endurance. It's about identity, courage, and the refusal to quit.Key Moments:The day everything changed—and the day he decided it wouldn't define himHow he learned to navigate the world again without sight or soundThe emotional and physical toll of a 200‑mile trekThe spiritual weight of standing on Kilimanjaro's summitWhat he wants every listener to understand about resilience

When your kids leave the nest and the caregiving finally stops — who are you?That question can stop you cold. And if you've been living it, you already know how disorienting that silence can be. This honest, heartfelt conversation is for every person standing in that in-between space, wondering who they are. My guest today is Jay Ramsden — podcaster, empty nest coach, and someone who has lived this reckoning from the inside out. After a 30-year career in education and years as a primary caregiver, Jay didn't just adjust to the empty nest. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He walked the Camino de Santiago. And somewhere between the altitude and the miles, he found a philosophy that changed everything: Mpole, Mpole — Swahili for slowly, slowly. One intentional step at a time.In this episode, Jay and I go deep on what it really takes to rebuild your identity, shed the roles that no longer fit, and step into a second act that finally feels like yours.In this episode you'll learn:Why pivoting your career can feel unsettling even when every part of you knows it's timeHow to rebuild your self-identity and what intentional living looks like day in and day out — not just in theoryHow to use "what's in the way" as your map toward more freedom and self-discoveryWhat Jay learned from getting comfortable with going slow — and why lasting personal reinvention requires exactly thatHow to recognize when caregiving has quietly become your whole identity, and what it takes to reclaim yourself from the inside outWhat JOMO is and how shifting your FOMO opens the door to truly liberated livingHow to start trusting yourself again to create a more meaningful, purpose-driven second actIf you've been feeling stretched between who you were and who you're becoming — this episode is your reminder that there is still so much of you left to discover.This chapter gets to belong to you too. Cheers to more love and freedom,LaurieClick here to learn about my NEW “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWebsiteConnect with Jay RamsdenWebsiteInstagramTiktokRESOURCES MENTIONED:Strength to Strength: A book by Arthur C.

Legendary scholar Jackson Bryer joins us once again, this time to discuss one controversial moment in Hemingway's career, his vicious “poor Scott Fitzgerald” swipe in the original publication of “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.”We discuss the publication history of this graceless insult, what it says about Hemingway and what it says about Fitzgerald. We go on to discuss “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” as a story and the ways that wealth emerges as one of Fitzgerald's central themes. We explore the nature of the Hemingway-Fitzgerald relationship in the 1930s, Fitzgerald's “The Rich Boy,” and other works where the very rich emerge as important characters.Join us in our romantic awe of Jackson Bryer as he guides us through this notorious moment in Hemingway's career! 

A jam pack episode this week. We discuss the final Hemingway short story on our TBR, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," a work that is powerful while being elusive. *Side note, Peter feels like he mispronounced this story the whole way through, he barely sleeps #Dadlife.And finally, we have a spirited discussion about Ben Lerner, where he sits in the literary world, and predicting our reactions to his latest work.

What if the only thing standing between you and your biggest goal is the willingness to stay in the game just a little longer than everyone else? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson sit down with Ruben Gonzalez, a four time Olympian and the only athlete to compete in four Olympics across four different decades, a keynote speaker who has taken the stage for over 105 Fortune 500 companies, and author of The Shortcut. Ruben's story is one of the most flat out inspiring conversations the Lounge has ever had.Ruben opens with a story that will immediately reframe how you think about potential. He was the last kid picked in PE, a bench warmer in college soccer, and had never even seen a luge run when he decided at 21 years old to pursue the Olympics. What he did have was an unshakable grip on his one superpower: he simply refused to quit.The conversation gets deeply practical from there. Ruben breaks down the two types of courage every leader and goal chaser needs, the courage to get started and the courage to stay in when it gets hard, and explains exactly where each one comes from. He also shares how he used visualization not as a fluffy mindset trick but as a deliberate performance tool, running hundreds of mental reps to rewire fear and build unshakable confidence before ever stepping on the track.Jon and Coach dive into Ruben's approach to goal setting, and his advice is refreshingly simple: stop staring at Everest and go climb Kilimanjaro first. Stack the wins, build the belief, and let the momentum carry you to the bigger mountain. He also shares the exact mindset shift that eliminated his fear on the luge after 25 years of white knuckling every run.Ruben closes with a powerful lesson on finding mentors, why successful people love to talk about success, and how asking the right questions of the right people can fast track your growth in ways that years of solo effort never could.Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time, chasing a goal that feels impossibly big, or just need a reminder that ordinary people with extraordinary persistence change the world every single day, this episode will light a fire under you.Connect with Ruben: olympicmotivation.comGrab The Shortcut on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Shortcut-Fastest-Achieve-Your-Goals/dp/B0BFP6P1K4

This episode with Robert McNeill is truly one of the most unique journeys I have encountered on this podcast to date. Bob is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at The Dental Specialists, a healthcare regulator in Texas, a strategic advisor for the American Dental Association, and on top of all of that, he is now a 1L at Northeastern University School of Law in their FlexJD program, along with his wife, who is also a surgeon and in the same law school class as him. Yes, you read that correctly.What makes Bob's story so fascinating is his commitment to being useful. He has a DDS, an MD, an MBA from a healthcare management program, and a public policy fellowship from the Harvard Kennedy School, and he is adding a JD to the mix in his 50s. But as Bob himself says, this isn't about collecting credentials, it's about changing the lens through which he sees problems at the intersection of policy, systems, and patient safety. Between studying for his criminal law final, writing his legal writing memo from a cafe in Fez, Morocco, during spring break, and climbing Kilimanjaro right before starting 1L, Bob is the definition of enjoying the journey.This was a fantastic and wide-ranging conversation with a man who keeps pushing the envelope at every stage of life.

I have always believed that people carry far more depth than they feel safe revealing. Beneath what is spoken, there is curiosity, intelligence, and longing waiting to be discovered. I am drawn to that space. I move toward it instinctively. I do not stay on the surface. I never have. I follow questions inward, then further, then further still. Discovery has always felt more natural to me than certainty. I build by going deeper, not wider. Each layer reveals another. Intuition guides my work. It arrives as a physical knowing, a jolt, a signal that something is ready to move. When it appears, I follow it. That is how paths form. That is how my first film recently came to be. Not through force, but through alignment. Creation, for me, is an act of leadership. It is the willingness to step forward without precedent and trust that clarity will meet motion. I believe that when something is made with presence and intention, it sparks recognition in others. Not because it explains, but because it reveals. I live and work in New York City, where momentum and stillness coexist. My work continues to be shaped by timing, intuition, and the quiet confidence to move when something calls. I trust the unseen architecture of things coming together.

Today we are going to travel across all seven continents, through steaming craters and frozen summits, into the heart of the world's most active volcanoes. This is a story about chasing fire.Ricardo Kaljouw is one of only a handful of people on Earth to have completed the Volcanic Seven Summits — climbing the highest volcano on every continent. From his first glimpse of Kilimanjaro rising above the Tanzanian savannah, to standing alone on the roof of Antarctica in minus 49 degree cold, Ricardo's story is one of extraordinary resilience, raw adventure, and the kind of fire that, once lit, simply cannot be put out.Highlights of The Volcanic Seven Summits:Standing on the roof of Africa — and the sunrise that greeted Ricardo on the way down from Kilimanjaro that changed everything.Watching the largest lava lake in the world come alive at night on the slopes of Nyiragongo in Rwanda.Surviving a lightning storm at altitude on Iran's Mount Damavand.Getting lost in the jungle of Papua New Guinea with no food, a missing porter, and a village of locals who may have been hunting him.Being stranded alone on the highest volcano on earth, Ojos del Salado in Chile.That final, extraordinary moment on Mount Sidley in Antarctica — six years in the making, 17,000 kilometres from home.FIND OUT MORERicardo Kaljouw's book is called A Million Steps on Lava: Climbing the Highest Volcano on Each Continent. It's a gripping, inspiring read — and what makes it especially unique is that Ricardo started exactly where many of us are: dreaming of high peaks without any real experience of climbing them. It's a story that makes the extraordinary feel possible.Follow Ricardo's ongoing expeditions on Instagram at @volcanicsevensummits and search up the book wherever books are sold.SHARE THIS EPISODEIf this story lit something up in you, do me a favour — send it to just one person.
