What separates a well-run rental business from an average one?In this episode, recorded live at the American Rental Association Show in Orlando, Michael Larsen is joined by Norty Turner, President and CEO of Sunstate Equipment, for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership, culture, operational excellence and building a business that can scale without losing its identity.Norty reflects on his 30-year rental career, which began behind the counter at Hertz Equipment Rental and later took him into leadership roles across the United States, Europe, the Middle East and India. He shares how those experiences shaped his leadership style and taught him the importance of listening, cultural awareness and creating an environment where people feel safe to challenge ideas.The conversation explores what Norty looks for when visiting a rental branch, from the condition of the ready line to the urgency and purpose with which employees move through the rental cycle. He explains why the fundamentals of rental remain remarkably consistent and how Sunstate is improving its most important operational processes using lean principles.Norty also discusses why most operational improvement programs fail when they are imposed from the top down. Rather than telling branch teams how to work, Sunstate involves the people performing each process in designing the solution, creating genuine ownership and a culture of continuous improvement.They examine the customer expectations every rental company must consistently deliver: safety, availability, on-time delivery and pickup, equipment uptime, accurate invoicing and technology that improves productivity.Throughout the episode, Norty returns to Sunstate's people-first foundation, inspired by founder Mike Watts' belief that employees should be treated with care and respect. He shares his ambition to preserve that legacy while also developing a high-performing culture where people achieve more than they believed possible.The conversation concludes with lessons from Norty's climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, including the Swahili principle of pole pole—moving steadily, one step at a time, supporting those around you and enjoying the journey along the way.This episode is essential listening for rental leaders seeking to strengthen their culture, improve branch performance and turn a long-term vision into consistent daily execution.

Jim Rickards returns for a wide-ranging macro conversation on a world where geopolitics and economics have fully merged. He lays out the US–Iran standoff as a global game of chicken — Trump betting Iran's economy breaks first, Iran betting the midterm elections break Trump first — and explains why he thinks Tehran holds the stronger hand, why regime change was always a fantasy, and how a handful of drones a week is enough to keep the Strait of Hormuz bottled up. From there he turns to gold: how he used Jim Rogers' 50% drawdown rule and fractal scale invariance to call the bottom, why central bank buying puts a floor under the market, why gold works as a deflation hedge as well as an inflation hedge, and why he stands by his $10,000 target. He also dismantles the popular "debasement trade" narrative, explains what Kevin Warsh's less transparent, market-following Fed means for investors conditioned to expect a rescue, and walks through the unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade — which he calls the most important story in the world right now, and the one most likely to make 2027 messy. The episode closes on the darker side of AI: increasingly sophisticated voice-cloned scams aimed at older Americans.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/More about Rickards: Rickards is a New York Times bestselling author of Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis and several other best-sellers, including The New Great Depression, Aftermath, The Road to Ruin, Death of Money, The New Case for Gold, Sold Out: How Broken Supply Chains, Surging Inflation, and Political Instability Will Sink the Global Economy, and his newest book MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy.

After a devastating traumatic brain injury ended her X Games career, Park City's own Jamie MoCrazy proves that resilience can take you to extraordinary heights. She talks about her journey, her foundation, and her recent hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Simone Knego, a speaker, award-winning author, and TEDx speaker, shares her personal journey in overcoming self-doubt through experiences like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. In conversation with Coach Myrna, Simone explores the concept that confidence is a skill developed through changing self-perception rather than seeking external approval. She introduces her REAL method, focusing on self-respect and embracing failures, to help women cultivate unshakable confidence. Get insights into the impact of mindset, the importance of inner dialogue, and practical steps to transform how you see yourself.This episode brims with actionable insights on shifting one's mindset and recognizing the value of small, everyday achievements.Key themes include how Simone identifies the skill of confidence as something that is cultivated over time, comparable to building muscle. She reveals her personal and professional experience in overcoming self-doubt and how these lessons form the foundation of her coaching. Simone provides valuable insights into her "REAL" method, which outlines practical steps for achieving self-respect, embracing failures, and living without limits. Striking quotes such as, "Confidence is a skill… it doesn't happen overnight," offer listeners a fresh, liberating perspective on self-worth and the power of positive self-dialogue.Key Takeaways:Confidence must be consciously developed and is comparable to learning any new skill—constant, intentional practice is vital.External validation is not a substitute for internal acceptance; prioritizing self-respect is crucial for personal growth.Techniques like the "REAL" method offer structured ways to build self-esteem and set personal boundaries.Failures should be perceived as learning opportunities, not final judgments on your capabilities.Mindful awareness of one's inner dialogue can significantly impact mental well-being and confidence.Timestamp Summary0:02 Building Confidence by Changing Self-Perception5:16 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing a Life Without Limits11:02 Building Confidence by Changing Self-Talk and Embracing Failures15:17 Elevate Your Summer Wardrobe With Quince's Timeless Essentials17:22 Building Unshakable Confidence Through Self-Respect and Resilience24:43 Mindset Hacks: Control, Alt, Delete for Positive Thinking28:30 Finding Fulfillment Through Everyday Acts of Kindness32:11 The Impact of Societal Pressures on Self-Image and Confidence34:24 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Personal Worth39:45 The Power of Positive Self-Talk and Affirmations42:40 Building Real Confidence Through Self-Compassion and ClarityResources:Website: Simone KnegoPodcast: Her Unshakable ConfidenceBooks:"The Extraordinary Unordinary You""Real Confidence" (RealConfidenceBook.com)Social Media:Instagram: @simoneknegoSponsors of this episodeQuinceQuince is not just apparel.

Over a week ago, I stood at 19,341 feet on the roof of Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, harder than any Ironman or marathon. But somewhere between the rainforest and the summit, I realized I wasn't just climbing a mountain. I was watching my patients' weight loss journeys play out in front of me. In this episode, I'm sharing the first four lessons Kilimanjaro taught me about health, resilience, and what it actually takes to accomplish something hard. From the invisible prep work no one applauds, to why "pole pole" (slowly) is the secret to going further, this episode reframes what progress really looks like. Your summit isn't built in one dramatic moment. It's built in thousands of small, unglamorous decisions, the walk after dinner, the water instead of soda, the appointment you finally book. You'll learn why plateaus and slow progress aren't failures, why community and encouragement matter as much as calories, and why the hardest and most important step is simply saying yes. Episode Highlights: Why the journey begins long before the mountain, or the diet, ever starts The invisible decisions behind every success story nobody sees Lesson two: why "pole pole" (slowly) is the pace that actually gets you there Why our culture's obsession with fast results works against how bodies really change Lesson three: why encouragement on the journey matters as much as the plan itself Lesson four: why saying yes before you feel ready is the hardest and most important step Why no single meal, workout, or medication changes your life, consistency does The one question to ask yourself this week to keep moving forward Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

The world knows Spencer West as the man who lost both legs at age five, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro on his hands, opened for Demi Lovato’s world tour, and built a community of more than 4 million followers. But who is Spencer beyond the inspiration? In this episode, we get real about his new book, Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, the pressure of living inside a story the world wrote for him, hitting rock bottom in college, coming out as a gay man, navigating relentless questions about his disability, finding love, and why true freedom begins when you stop living for everyone else’s expectations and finally start following yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's uplifting news, a Pennsylvania elementary school finally opened a time capsule that had been buried for fifty years. Claysville Elementary School in Claysville, PA, buried the capsule in 1976, and students and teachers gathered in the school auditorium to see what had been hidden away for half a century. Some students guessed correctly what would be inside, including money and old pencils. A former fourth-grade teacher who had taught at the school when the capsule was buried recalled placing a felt eraser and pieces of chalk inside. When the capsule was opened, it revealed Bicentennial coins, a two-dollar bill, photographs, newspapers, stamps, classroom supplies, and a congratulatory letter written to the students by then President Gerald Ford. A manual calculator from a math classroom was also inside, a device many of today's students had never seen before. To mark the occasion, the current students and teachers created a new time capsule to be buried and opened in 2076, continuing the tradition for the next generation. Ponder Some memories and traditions are worth waiting for, and they connect one generation to the next. Scripture "One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts." Psalm 145:4 AND Here are the show notes for this one: Woman Battling Incurable Cancer Set Her Sights on Everest, and Made It to the Top Summary A woman from the U.K. became the first female stage 4 cancer patient to climb Mount Everest, completing the climb for the second time in her life. The 50 year old exercise psychologist was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 breast cancer two years ago and has undergone radiotherapy, liver surgery, and a double mastectomy. She trained for an entire year to prepare for the climb, which she first completed over two decades earlier. Upon reaching the summit, she encouraged others facing cancer to keep taking steps forward no matter how difficult the journey. The coldest nights on the mountain proved to be the hardest part of the climb, as her body temperature dropped while she rested in her tent. She raised more than $100,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support during the expedition and also gathered research on how low oxygen levels affected her cancer markers, hoping her data could benefit future patients and doctors. She has also completed the Everest Marathon and climbed Mount Aconcagua, Elbrus, and Kilimanjaro, and she hopes her climb inspires others to believe they can accomplish big things despite their diagnoses. Ponder Facing a difficult diagnosis does not mean giving up on big dreams, and determination can inspire others walking through their own battles.

This playlist is 91% vinyl friendly. Near perfect. Philips, The Tina Century Bluetooth Turntable room.. A £350-£400 retro look to blend in with your wood panelling room, it reminds me of a car grill from the 1960s. Built-in speakers with deep (how low can you go) bass and crystal-clear highs. Any track marked * has been given either a tiny or a slightly larger 41 Rooms tweak/edit/chop and the occasional tune might sound a bit dodgy, quality-wise. On top of that, the switch between different decades and production values never helps in the mix here. Lyric of Playlist 154 Tim Hardin’s lyric and song title. 00.00 (Intro) THE FLAMINGOS – Stars (Edit) – Unreleased demo – 1983. Episode #1 for info. 00.41 NEW ORDER – Dreams Never End (John Peel session: 16.2.81) – The Peel Sessions 12″ EP – Strange Fruit – 1987 Diary for Jan 16, ’81 says ‘Karl W round. NEW ORDER JOHN PEEL…‘ Those caps signal something special and the journey had begun at Heaven, London a week earlier. Two good mates called Karl were there, though I hadn’t realised the one at my house listening to the first broadcast of the session was a Carl. 03.45 THE TEARDROP EXPLODES – Second Head – Kilimanjaro, LP – Mercury – 1980 Listening to this album now it’s got a bit of a bubbly and bouncy feel. Judging by a set list suggested for the Manchester Poly night’ that followed ours/mine it doesn’t look like Second Head made into our night here. Packed with Kilimanjaro tracks though. 06.55 TOM PETTY and THE HEARTBREAKERS – I Need To Know – 7″ – Shelter – 1978 Still with a fair amount of ‘rock’ in my world at this point in time, for some reason I thought I’d had a 12″ of this but that would have been a bit daft. At just 2mins 22 plus, a fiery new wave feel that could have made it as an Elvis Costello tune. 09.17 FORMAL SPPEEDWEAR – Who Needs Spain Ball – Punch Card, LP – Melodic – 2026 “Who Needs Spain Ball?”. ‘On the surface, the single functions as a highly accessible, synth-forward New Wave track featuring the record's biggest, most infectious pop chorus. However, the title and the song’s inner mechanics are intentionally surreal, designed to “pull the rug” out from under the listener‘. – Apologies, I forgot the source. An early Talking Heads vibe going on? They’re pulling the rug even more with their merch – with the band’s name the only lettering… album t-shirts! 12.28 BIG JOANIE – It’s You – Sistahs, LP – The Daydream Library Series – 2018 So post punk! 14.48 EGOSLAVIA – Twist Face – Self-titled, (mini) LP – 9 1/2 x 16″ Records – 1982 Not that many will have debated it but I’ve always pronounced this band as ‘Egoslayvia’ and it’s only just dawned on me it was likely ‘Egoslahvia’. Better late… and a band I was introduced to by a US guy who dropped in on John Peel’s radio show somewhere in the ’80s. Very unusual for Peely to have anyone else in the studio with him but his guest was picking tracks from three or so US bands that Peely had never heard of, something that irritated the latter, slightly. 20.08 BIFFER BONKER – 4 Prong, Fucked Up, 2 Potato Thing – Biffer Bonker Is…Unabashed, download album only – ? – 2026 Anyone with a decades long history of Bedford, UK’s musical landscape stretching back to punk bands of the mid to late 70s will have knowledge of Biffer in a former life or three fronting a wealth of different bands but his present world view is available here, with something from the man for me currently getting waylaid by various postal services. ‘No god is required… ‘ Ain’t that the truth and if there isn’t a lyric sheet involved somewhere I might be requesting one :), as he’ll be back here at some point. He’s also the man who introduced me to Click Click via an early demo tape of theirs somewhere around 1984. 23.17 BROKEN SPINDLES – To Die, For Death – Fulfilled / Complete, LP – Saddle Creek – 2004 Content with having spun Induction on an earlier show, and as it turns out, rightly guessing on the album’s diversity I hadn’t been rushing to grab the physical vinyl… but here we are! One Joel Peterson, from Omaha, Nebraska. 25.35 TARWATER – 20 Miles Up – Silur, LP – Kitty-Yo – 1986 From the US to Germany and there’s a far wider breadth to this duos ‘catalogue’ than the two tracks now spun on 41 Rooms would suggest. 29.35 RIPPLE – I Don’t Know What It Is But It Sure Is Funky – 7″ – GRC – 1973 I don’t know about I Don’t Know… but with no UK release it’s unlikely our mainstream radio of the time spun this, though maybe a DJ or two down the Pilgrims or in the Anglers (Inn) Lair across the road could have. I have strong memories of hearing Willie Henderson’s Dance Master at the latter. 32.53 MARY KENT – Lost Generation – 7″ – CBS – 1969 It’s a slower, darker take than the version the song’s writer, Jim(my) Webb put out himself a year later and though Mary’s intro needed red carding for the show her version has some gravitas and feels ‘worthier’ now than it may have done to the UK’s record buyers back in 1969… what with the Vietnam war being… yep, somewhere else. The intro brings to my mind Common Sense’s Resurrection ’95. 36.57 LADY BLACKBIRD vs CROOKED MAN – Whatever His Name (Pt 1) * – Crooked Spirituals Remixes, 12″ – Foundation – 2025 She’s rightly got her soul audience but I much prefer her vocals set against some electronic goings on, as with the already 41 Rooms’ spun Athletes Of God and some remixing bods, including here, Crooked Man. They seem to give her vocals more of an edge for me. 42.18 ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ (feat. MAX C) – About This Love (Crazy P Remix) (Dub) * – 12″ – Compost Black Label – 2009 The vocals are incidental but the track just keeps building, dropping, shifting. A head-nod-a-thon of slight unease. 45.42 CLICK CLICK – Stay Out Of The Water – 12″ b-side – Rorschach Testing – 1985 Great times in the summer and autumn of ’85. Our RT label is off and running with a party at Winkles (Bedford), a P(roduction) and D(istribution) deal with Rough Trade, 500 copies of the initial yellow and blue sleeved 12″ pressing head straight to the US off the back of A-side (Sweet Stuff) getting CC Single Of The Week in Sounds and with spins on John Peel’s radio show there are one-off gigs in London, Brighton and Northampton and rehearsals are sounding great. Gig poster for 28.11.84. Part of a Rorschach Testing ad, The Catalogue #29, Aug ’85. 49.24 SIMPLE MINDS – Premonition (John Peel session: 7.1.80) – Silver Box, 5CD – Virgin – 2004 Having already seen them on the OGWT (live from Hurrah’s New York) and live at the Marquee the previous month I must have heard this session but for whatever reason I definitely didn’t record it. A ropey photo below of mine from London’s Hammersmith Palais, 26.8.80. 54.28 THE FALL – Dktr. Faustus * – Bend Sinister, LP – Beggars Banquet – 1986 It’s about time Mark E Smith (RIP) and his gang made it back here… so they have. 00.01.00 ECHO and THE BUNNYMEN – I Bagsy Yours (John Peel session: 22.8.79) – The Peel Sessions 12″ EP – 1988 This show’s third Peel session track of the era and the song renamed Monkeys in time to nestle next to the track Crocodiles months later on their debut album. I’m with ‘Bagsy’, though. Even us southerners used the term back then, though it might be best to not remember how it was being used here. 01.02.47 THE MOVE – I Can Hear The Grass Grow – 7″ – Deram – 1967 ‘An early, proto-psychedelic freakbeat masterpiece‘ in some modern day circles but a fab bit of wild pop back then. As the years rolled on though, the ‘weedier’ (sadly) Roy Wood’s guitar interjections have sounded. 01.05.52 PETULA CLARK – The Other Man’s Grass (Is Always Greener) – 7″ – Pye – 1967 Husband and wife writers, Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent (or in this particular case, Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch :)), with their key and tempo changing swirler giving ‘Our Pet’ her last Top 20 hit. So idiosyncratic it never got covered by anyone else or maybe offered as an exclusive to Petula? Either way, I bet Trent (no mean singer herself) forwarded a guide vocal version and I’d have been interested in hearing that. And it’s taken me a week to realise I’ve placed two songs next to each with ‘Grass’ in the title. Very unintentional but spooky and true. 01.08.49 BROOKE COMBE – Tears Won’t Lie * – 7″ – Fontana – 2026 I reckon Northern soul’s younger followers will dance and some older purists will very likely pick at the production but Combe and co-writer, James Skelly have nailed it, and if this song had been recorded in the mid 1960s – and maybe on the label this 7″ now pays homage to (with say Kiki Dee?) – there’d be an even bigger price tag on it than this barely out of the 2026 pressing plant £18 7′ already commands. Also, all involved in the Combe camp will have been as meticulous on the look for the dancers in the video as was MT Jones for his I Don’t Understand. Paying homage can be tough stuff. 01.11.19 TERRY CALLIER – Ordinary Joe – 7″ – Cadet – 1972 Terry and producer, Charles Stepney with a ‘skipping along the road’ feel. An even more expensive buy than the above… and I have neither. 01.15.17 CHAIRMEN OF THE BOARD – Give Me Just A Little More Time – 7″ – Invictus – 1970 INV 501. Did Invictus kick off their UK releases with a homage to Tamla Motown’s UK singles catalogue. Five years earlier the latter had also started with (TMG) 501, via The Supremes’ Stop In The Name Of Love. 01.17.57 JACKIE WILSON – I Get The Sweetest Feeling – 7″ – Brunswick – 1968 1968 for Jackie but the mid ’70s for me. Putnoe, Bedford… sunshine… Gill H… 01.20.49 THE CONTROLLERS – Somebody’s Gotta Win, Somebody’s Gotta Loose (7″ version) – 7″ – Juana – 1977 I didn’t knowingly hear this til maybe twenty years ago. With the amount of music that bypasses us, is it possible I’ve never heard the greatest song I could ever hear? 01.24.42 UMBRA MOON – Don’t Let Me Down – Download only – 2024 This Australian girl is seemingly taking longer to break out than I would have imagined but though stylistically aside of my normal listening, this is a gem. 01.28.02 SHAWN PHILLIPS – Solitude – 7″ b-side – Columbia – 1965 With my copy bought for this side alone, there are few artists I’ve come across who have been both super jaunty and deeper than deep in the songwriting department and 41 Rooms can be with Shawn in both moods. 01.30.48 JOHN and BEVERLEY MARTYN – Primrose Hill – 7″ – Warner Brothers – 1970 In 1970 approximately 1% of the American population had a passport, so aside thinking (at best) Primrose Hill maybe had some Civil War battle reference for them they were going to struggle to warm to this London landmark being referenced, even though somebody at Warners US – as opposed to their UK counterpoints – thought this Carole King-like tune had legs as a single. Sadly, they were wrong, with the promo 7″ likely more common than the stock copy. 01.33.40 TIM HARDIN – You Upset The Grace Of Living When You Lie – 7″ promo only – Verve Forecast – 1967 Yep, lyric and title of show 154 goes to… though at 1min 45 it’s nearly over by the time he’s got through singing the line. A ragged, slightly altered take of the song was part of Hardin’s performance at Woodstock but his set only got to make it to an official release of the festival in 2019. 01.35.22 JOSE FELICIANO – Dirty Work – For My Love… Mother Music, LP – RCA – 1974 It’s likely I’d be outnumbered with my thinking here but Jose’s passion makes Steely Dan’s own recorded version, sung by their then main vocalist, David Palmer, sound lack lustre. 01.38.08 VANGELIS – He-O – Earth, LP – Vertigo – 1973 Back in Vangelis’ big years I only got around to wanting his 1976 single, Pulstar but then hearing the Beatfanatics Balearic Boogie Remix of Let It Happen in 2007 led me backwards to this album and it’s the vocals (of one Robert Fitoussi) on both tracks that seem to make the difference for me. 01.42.05 STEVIE WONDER – Pastime Paradise * – Songs In The Key Of Life, 2LP – Tamla Motown – 1976 I bought the album at the time but my youthful ignorance didn’t fully take in the scale of Stevie’s accomplishment and looking now at the full tracklisting there were only six tracks I regularly played, with Pastime Paradise being one of them. The American buyers who took Songs… to No 1 in the Billboard album charts will have delved deeper. 01.45.21 KOICHI OZAKI – Petal Of The Cherry Blossom * – Novo Tempo / Koichi Ozaki: Novo Tempo Meets Eurasian Suite Vol. 2, 12″ – Eurasian Suite – 2004 If I could dip into the whole of the soul/(acid)jazz/beats etc etc world of the Japanese from the ’90s onwards there’d be a basket full of great tunes I’ve yet to hear. So little time… 01.51.22 KEITH JARRETT (TRIO) – Dancing – Changeless, LP – ECM Records – 1989 ‘Original material which is deeply subversive (though also respectfully aware) of the whole tradition of jazz as a system of improvisation on ‘the changes’… On Changeless, there are no chord progressions at all; the trio improvises each section in a single key, somewhat in the manner of an Indian raga‘. – The Penguin Guide to Jazz. ‘These pieces – not written, rehearsed, thought out, sketched, or arranged – ‘came up’ in the middle of four distinctly different concerts. Process is swifter and more accurate than thought.‘ – Keith Jarrett’s album liner notes (edited). Show 155 arrives Sept 6.

He coached Michael Chang and Wes Welker, co-founded the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, and built one of the most decorated careers in sports science. Then a hospital bed, a broken relationship with his father, and a mountain in Africa taught him what none of the trophies could. This is Dr. Jack Groppel's story of achievement addiction, faith, and fatherhood.Dr. Jack Groppel has operated at the highest levels of human performance for four decades. Co-founder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, Hall of Fame tennis coach, author of The Corporate Athlete, and coach to legends like Michael Chang and Wes Welker, his professional resume reads like a highlight reel.But in this conversation, Jack takes us underneath the resume. He talks about growing up under a demanding father, using achievement as a way to prove his worth, and building a career on that pattern for decades before it caught up with him. He shares the hospitalization that forced him to confront who he actually was, the faith journey that followed, adopting his son from China at nearly 60 years old, and the moment on Mount Kilimanjaro when the two of them stood at the summit together.This is a conversation about ambition, identity, fatherhood, and the difference between a life that looks successful and a life that feels well lived.Key Takeaways1. Achievement can become an addiction when it's used to prove worth rather than pursue purpose2. Facing truth about yourself is its own form of conflict and often the harder one3. Writing a personal mission statement gives you a filter for every decision that follows4. Journaling by hand has research behind it for actually rewiring the brain around old stories5. The question "what matters most right now" is a daily calibration tool, not a one-time exercise6. Breaking a generational pattern requires naming it out loud before you can choose differentlyGuest BioDr. Jack Groppel is an internationally recognized authority in human performance and well-being. He is co-founder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, a former professor, and a trusted advisor to organizations ranging from Fortune 50 companies to global policy groups.

What happens when you stop trying to become the person the world expects and finally begin choosing who you want to be? In Episode 152 of Pushing Forward with Alycia, host Alycia Anderson welcomes global speaker, bestselling author, disability advocate, activist, and content creator Spencer West for a powerful conversation about disability identity, autonomy, interdependence, and breaking free from expectations. Spencer is the author of Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, a new book that invites readers to question the expectations shaping their lives and begin choosing a more authentic path. Born with a genetic condition that prevented the muscles in his legs from functioning, Spencer underwent surgeries that resulted in the amputation of both legs just below his pelvis. Growing up, he was repeatedly told that he was “just like everyone else” and that every child wanted to walk. But prosthetic legs were not the best mobility choice for Spencer. By sixth grade, his parents and therapist gave him the opportunity to decide for himself how he wanted to navigate the world. Choosing to stop using prosthetic legs became one of his earliest lessons in bodily autonomy. “The moment I realized I could choose how I wanted to navigate the world, everything started to change.” That decision did not eliminate the pressure to fit in. Spencer shares how he continued confronting internalized ableism, social expectations, and the confusing message that disability should be ignored rather than embraced as part of his identity. The Life Changing Power of Autonomy Spencer and Alycia discuss why disabled children deserve the opportunity to participate in decisions about their own bodies, mobility, healthcare, and lives. Spencer credits his parents with giving him choices instead of assuming they always knew what was best for him. Looking back, he recognizes that this early experience helped him understand that he could make other meaningful choices too. For parents, educators, medical professionals, and leaders, his story offers an important reminder: supporting disabled people does not mean controlling every decision. It means creating space for autonomy, self discovery, and informed choice. Climbing Kilimanjaro and Redefining Help Spencer also shares the story behind climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. He was not motivated by a desire to prove that “anything is possible.” In fact, Spencer openly admits that he does not like camping and had never dreamed of becoming a mountain climber. The climb became part of a larger campaign called Redefine Possible, which raised more than its original $500,000 goal for clean water initiatives in East Africa. Spencer trained for a year alongside two of his closest friends. Although the original plan was to use both his wheelchair and his hands to climb, the terrain required him to navigate much more of the mountain on his hands than expected. Throughout the expedition, Spencer relied on his friends for physical support. But on summit day, both friends became sick from the altitude. Suddenly, the person who assumed he would need the most assistance became the person helping them continue. Spencer could not physically carry his friends, but he could stay beside them, encourage them, and keep moving forward with them. That experience transformed how he viewed strength. “We all need help. We all need to ask for help, and we all need to offer help.” Rather than celebrating the myth of the self made person, Spencer encourages people to embrace interdependence, the understanding that every person depends on support, relationships, community, and collaboration. Moving Beyond Inspiration Porn Spencer and Alycia examine the harmful narratives that often surround disabled people who accomplish highly visible goals. Spencer never wanted his Kilimanjaro climb reduced to a message suggesting that if a disabled person can climb a mountain, everyone should be able to overcome every barrier. That framing ignores systemic ableism, access needs, privilege, support, and the reality that every disabled person has a different body and experience. Spencer shares how disability justice advocate Naomi Ortiz challenged him to reconsider the way he talked about the climb. The true story was not that he overcame disability alone. It was that he reached the summit through community and interdependence. That conversation led Spencer to study disability history, disability justice, and the advocates who have shaped the movement. Today, much of his content reflects what he continues to learn and unlearn in real time. What Does It Mean to Break Free? Spencer's new book, Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, examines the expectations people absorb from the moment they enter the world. For Spencer, those expectations included: Do not think of yourself as disabled Overcome your disability Use prosthetic legs Follow a traditional career path Marry a woman Measure success through productivity Live according to society's definition of a successful life As a disabled gay man growing up in a conservative Wyoming community, Spencer gradually realized that many of those expectations did not reflect who he was or what he wanted. Breaking free became the process of identifying which expectations belonged to him and which ones had been placed upon him by others. “My value and success are not tied up in what my body can produce.” Spencer explains that breaking free does not always require climbing a mountain or completely changing your career. It can begin with one small decision, such as leaving an unhealthy relationship, exploring a new passion, moving to another city, or making room for something that brings joy. Disability as Identity During a volunteer trip to Kenya, Spencer spoke with students about his disability. A young girl told him she had not realized that the loss of limbs could happen to a white person too. Her observation sparked a major realization. Until that moment, Spencer had viewed disability primarily as something that happened to him. He had not yet embraced it as part of his identity. That experience helped him begin connecting disability with the other layers of who he is, including being queer, a speaker, a creator, and an advocate. Spencer and Alycia reflect on how long it can take to fully embrace disability identity after growing up in environments that treated disability as something negative, shameful, or separate from the self. A Book Designed to Become a Tool Breaking Free is more than a memoir. Spencer designed the book as a practical guide for readers who are questioning the expectations shaping their lives. Each chapter includes exercises, reflection questions, key concepts, and opportunities for readers to begin their own process of change. The book also gives Spencer an opportunity to share parts of his life that he had not discussed publicly before, including the pressure he experienced to hide his queer identity while working within an organization concerned about conservative donors and religious partners. After years of advocacy from Spencer, queer colleagues, and allies, he eventually shared his coming out story publicly on June 26, 2015, the day marriage equality became law across the United States. For Spencer, that moment represented years of persistence, truth telling, and breaking free. Spencer West's North Star Today, Spencer continues speaking, creating digital content, and helping organizations understand the value of hiring disabled talent. His work challenges myths about disabled employees and highlights the unnecessary ableism many disabled people face while trying to find meaningful employment. His current North Star is clear: get Breaking Free into the hands of people who need permission to question expectations, embrace their identities, and begin choosing themselves. In This Episode Why bodily autonomy matters for disabled children and adults Spencer's decision to stop using prosthetic legs Unlearning internalized ableism The deeper story behind climbing Mount Kilimanjaro Why no one is truly self made Interdependence and the courage to ask for help How inspiration porn harms disabled people Learning from disability justice advocates Disability and queer identity Breaking free from society's expectations Separating personal value from productivity Why Spencer wrote Breaking Free Disability inclusion and employment Memorable Quotes from Spencer West “The moment I realized I could choose how I wanted to navigate the world, everything started to change.” “The story was not that I reached the top alone. The story was interdependence.” The Pushing Forward Moment “Maybe our job is not to become anything. Maybe our job is to unbecome all the things that do not belong to us so we can become the person we were meant to be.” Spencer explains that this idea, inspired by a passage associated with Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, became the guiding thesis behind Breaking Free.

In this episode, Geo sits down with YGC co-founder Yvette Valdenegro to talk about the climb that changed everything. Yvette shares what it was really like to summit Mount Kilimanjaro's Lemosho Route, including the parts nobody warns you about: the exhaustion, the fear, and eventually an undiagnosed case of pulmonary edema she pushed through to reach the top. But this conversation isn't just about the mountain. Yvette walks Geo through the four levels of consciousness she moved through on the climb, and how that same framework shows up in the work we do with our clients every day. She talks about what it means to stop surviving and start actually living as yourself, not performing a version of yourself for everyone else.You'll hear about:What actually happens in your body and mind above 19,000 feetThe moment Yvette had to ask for help and what that taught her about controlThe four levels of consciousness, explained simplyWhy perfect peace was never something to chase, it was already there[Exciting announcement — details TBD]If you've ever felt like you're climbing toward some version of peace that's always just out of reach, this episode is for you.Read Yvette's full story here.With so much love, joy, and intention,Yvette Valdenegro & Geovanna Burgess WhiteResources & Links: ⁠⁠

Joining the Project Purple Podcast from Brooklyn, Keith De-Lin takes listeners on a journey from a misdiagnosis to discovering a rare neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor with host Dino Verrelli. A lifelong vegan and dedicated fitness enthusiast, Keith was always focused on his health, but at 48, persistent acid reflux and unusual symptoms led him to push for answers that would change his life. Initially diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Keith underwent months of intensive chemotherapy intended for that diagnosis, as well as treatment for a severe portal vein thrombosis, before finally receiving the correct diagnosis: non-functioning neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. He reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of facing a misdiagnosis, the vital role of advocacy—especially having his doctor wife by his side—and how his mindset and positivity carried him through treatment. Keith shares how living in the moment, relying on a strong support system, and embracing your unique recovery journey can guide you through even the most challenging experiences. From maintaining his workout routine to planning adventures like climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, he demonstrates resilience, hope, and perspective in action. Keith welcomes connection through his Instagram @keithdelin: https://www.instagram.com/keithdelin/ Subscribe to the Project Purple Podcast for more stories from the pancreatic cancer community.

Send us Fan MailWe've got something very special for you, the first We Are Superman Podcast live in front of an audience! The La Sportiva store in Boulder last week hosted a Q&A session with sponsored athlete Tyler Andrews, fresh off of his record-setting run, yes run, on Mt. Everest on May 28. This has been Tyler's years-long quest, following his FKTs on dozens of routes, including ascending such very tall peaks as Aconcagua, Cotopaxi, Kilimanjaro, Manaslu, and Mt. Fuji. On his seventh Everest attempt he reached the summit from Everest Base Camp in 9:55, smashing by 61 minutes the previous record with supplemental oxygen held for 23 years by Lakpa Gelu Sherpa. He also set a roundtrip record of 16:32. His achievement made instant national headlines and also landed him an appearance on the Today Show. During this awesome live session, Tyler talks about how the successful record attempt unfolded, his gear, fueling, how it felt to finally summit Everest, what made this attempt different than his previous ones, and his future plans. And also about Quackers the Duck. I hope you enjoy this very fun chat with someone I've known for several years who I think is one of the most impressive, focused, and dedicated endurance athletes in the world.Tyler Andrewstylercandrews.comInstagram @tylercandrews and @chaski.enduranceCheck out his podcast, Ty's Training, Talking with my Dad on Spotify and other platformsSupport the Chaski Foundation to provide sports programs for deserving kids in Nepal and Ecuador: givebutter.com/chaskifoundationBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe 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 @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

Send us Fan Mail Your body can end an argument your ambition has been winning for years.  Nancy Deyo knows that moment intimately. She went from being a hard-driving Silicon Valley CEO to collapsing during a Mount Kilimanjaro climb, then spending years lost in misdiagnosis, chronic pain, and opioid dependence. What followed wasn't a neat comeback story. It was the messy middle where identity breaks, friendships thin out, and “push through it” turns from a strategy into a threat. We dig into the myth of endurance and why high performers often believe the body is something to command. Nancy shares what resilience looks like when bouncing back is not on the menu: listening to your body, accepting reality without approving of it, and building momentum through small steps that actually fit your capacity. We talk about disability and the loneliness of a life lived lying down, plus the surprisingly practical choices that helped her move forward, including attending graduate school on a portable cot and learning how to travel and work while managing pain. If you're navigating chronic illness, burnout, a health crisis, or the slow collapse of a life you thought you'd have, you'll hear a steady message you can hold onto: you are not your pain, and there are different versions of you that can emerge from this.

Dylan shares how long aerobic workouts, balance exercises, loaded hikes, and repeated climbs up Blue Mountain have prepared him for the challenge. He also talks about the family and friends who inspired him, the community that has joined the campaign, and his belief that success should be measured by the impact we have on others.

Guest BioBecki Rupp is a certified Personal Trainer and Adventure Travel Coach, and the founder of Trailblazer Wellness. Through her coaching, Becki helps travelers build the strength, stamina, and confidence they need to take on meaningful adventures without feeling overwhelmed by the physical or mental preparation. Her work is especially valuable for people preparing for big hikes, cycling trips, Camino-style journeys, Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, and other active travel experiences that stretch the edge of their comfort zone.Becki brings together personal training, coaching, and her own extensive adventure travel background. She has summited Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, completed the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, and taken on numerous multi-day hiking and cycling trips around the world. Over the past several years, she has supported more than 100 clients preparing for adventures in 27 countries, helping them move from uncertainty to readiness so they can enjoy the journey before the journey — and the trip itself.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Becki Rupp, founder of Trailblazer Wellness, about helping travelers prepare for the adventures they have dreamed about for years. Becki explains how adventure travel coaching goes beyond simply handing someone a workout plan. For many travelers, especially those joining group trips or taking on a physically demanding itinerary, the real work involves building confidence, managing fears, staying accountable, and learning how to enjoy the experience rather than worry about holding others back.Becki shares how her own path combined a lifelong curiosity about the world, a love of movement, and years of experience in fitness, coaching, and communications. From childhood memories of watching her grandparents' travel slideshows to eventually hiking iconic routes like Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, and the Camino, Becki's story reveals how travel, preparation, and personal growth can become deeply connected.Jason and Becki also explore the emotional side of adventure travel: why people worry about being last in the group, how partners and friends may not always know how to support a big travel dream, and why having someone in your corner can make the difference between merely completing a trip and truly experiencing it. Becki's approach helps travelers prepare their bodies while also reconnecting with the deeper reason they said yes to the adventure in the first place.

June 17th, 2014. George became a New York Times bestselling author. He'd worked toward it for two years. Had it written in a contract with his coach. Left a party thrown in his honor because he felt absolutely nothing. Not relief. Not arrival. Just: what's next? If you've ever hit the thing and still felt empty, this episode is for you. A false summit is when you crest a ridge thinking you've reached the top, only to find another peak above you. In business, it happens constantly. In this solo episode, George breaks down why hitting your goals still leaves you hollow, who's actually moving the goalpost, and the three-question summit audit that tells you whether you're climbing your mountain or someone else's. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What a false summit is and why it's the most accurate metaphor for entrepreneurship Why you are the one moving the goalpost (and the surprising reason why) The difference between achievement and arrival and why they're not the same thing Why most entrepreneurs aren't chasing success, they're running from something The one question Sean Swarner asks that brings people to tears on Kilimanjaro The three-question summit audit to run right now How to define "enough" and why that definition changes everything Key Takeaways: ✔️Achievement without arrival is exhaustion with a good story. Collecting milestones without feeling them isn't growth, it's accumulation. ✔️You move the goalpost. Not the market, not the industry. You. Because as long as there's always somewhere to get to, you never have to ask whether this is truly what you want. ✔️Sitting feels dangerous when momentum gives us the illusion of safety. So our brain moves the bar before we can stop and feel whether we actually got there. ✔️Most entrepreneurs stop chasing their own definition of success and start performing what success looks like for other people, slowly, subtly, without noticing. ✔️The gap between fulfillment and achievement is not a strategy problem. It's an alignment problem. Specifically: the gap between what you say you want and what you actually want. ✔️If nobody was watching, nobody knew, and you were doing it alone, would you still want to climb this mountain? The answer tells you everything. ✔️The only guaranteed finish line is death. The question is: what are you climbing toward in the life you have right now? ✔️The summit audit: three questions to ask yourself: What feeling do you expect when you hit your next milestone? Is that the feeling you actually want, or the one others want you to have? And if everything else was stripped away, what would enough feel like in your body?

#ultramarathon #cysticfibrosis #sophiegraceholmes #storytimepodcast #marathon Joshua sits down with Sophie Grace Holmes — ultra-endurance athlete, world record holder, fitness coach, and public speaker.Living with cystic fibrosis, Sophie was once told she had only a few years to live. Today, she's completed 36 marathons in 36 days, summited Kilimanjaro, and continues to push the limits of human endurance.From overcoming adversity to chasing world-class challenges, this is a powerful conversation about resilience, mindset, and refusing to accept limitations.

Join legendary coach Mark Gottfried and Bonner Paddock on The Coach Mark Gottfried Show for one of the most powerful conversations this show has ever had. Bonner Paddock was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child and spent nearly three decades hiding it from the world. Then a four-year-old boy named Jake changed everything. Bonner met Jake at a marathon finish line. Jake's father carried him across. Jake died that same night. Bonner had known him for ten minutes. That loss didn't just move Bonner. It broke something open in him — and rebuilt him into something remarkable. He went on to become the first person with cerebral palsy to summit Mount Kilimanjaro unassisted, and the first to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. He's raised over a million dollars for children with disabilities through his OM Foundation and is the bestselling author of One More Step. But this episode isn't really about mountains or finish lines. It's about what happens when you finally stop hiding who you are. It's about the friendship Bonner built with Jake's father — a bond forged through a marathon, a tragedy, and a shared belief that even in the darkest moments, you can still do greatness. And it's about what Bonner discovered when he stood at the top of Kilimanjaro, came back down, and fell into a year and a half of depression — only to realize that the poorest person in the room wasn't a villager in Tanzania with a sheet-metal roof. It was him. Mark and Bonner go deep on vulnerability, purpose, the cost of individualism, and what real community actually looks like when you strip away everything else. This one will stay with you.

Kelly Piquet was born into Formula 1 royalty. Her father is Nelson Piquet, a three-time world champion. Her partner is Max Verstappen, a four-time champion. She has millions of followers watching her life, and most of them think they know her. They don't. This is the first time Kelly has sat down for a real conversation, and she goes places she never has before. She talks about growing up inside a name that opened every door, then walking away from it at eighteen to move to New York and become nobody. About the version of herself who climbed Kilimanjaro on a whim, and where that fearlessness went. About what it actually takes to protect your own identity inside the most-watched relationship in sport, to build a modern partnership where two ambitious people refuse to disappear into each other. About raising children in the glare of it all, and why she's decided that not every meaningful moment deserves an audience. It's a conversation about being seen versus being known, about holding on to yourself when the world has already written your story, and about the quiet cost of a life that belongs to everyone but you.

On this episode of the Your Message Received podcast, host John Duffin interviews Dr. Jack Groppel, author of Mountains Within and a sports science and human performance expert who co-founded the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute. Groppel recounts a childhood shaped by curiosity, solitude, sports, and a difficult, fear-based relationship with his father that drove him to overachieve. This pivotal early relationship included a severe beating that drove Jack to seek approval and constantly question if he was good enough. Through achievements like becoming an Eagle Scout early and walking on to play tennis at the University of Illinois despite not being recruited, Jack Groppel answered some of these questions- at least in his own mind. Jack describes pioneering high-speed film analysis in tennis and an early baseball study with the Chicago White Sox that unexpectedly captured pitchers' pickoff moves, leading to published research on head-first vs. feet-first slides. Groppel also shares adopting his son Shen from China, committing to a nonviolent parenting approach, climbing Kilimanjaro together, and his message that people can transform at any stage by repeatedly asking, “What matters most right now?”To learn more about Dr. Jack Groppel, check out the links below. https://jackgroppel.net/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackgroppel/00:00 Hidden Film Discovery00:47 Podcast Intro and Guest Setup03:19 Curious Childhood Outdoors04:20 Solo Sports and Cardinals Loyalty07:20 Dad the Hero and Villain10:24 Eagle Scout and Illinois Walk On12:39 Shoulder Injury and Recovery16:40 Alaska Trip Turning Point19:06 Tennis Science Meets Legends23:01 White Sox Film Breakthrough26:56 Adopting Shen from China28:49 Discipline Without Hitting30:09 Saying I Love You31:04 Marriage And Intimacy Lessons31:47 Faith Therapy And Mentors34:03 Adopting Shen In China36:17 Kilimanjaro Dream With Shen41:46 Summit Night And Big Dog44:33 Transform Your Life Message46:51 What Matters Most Daily48:03 Honoring Dad And Priorities49:47 Links Thanks And Signoff

Leadership isn't about looking strong… it's about becoming who you're meant to be. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with executive leadership coach, speaker, and founder of My Impossible, Jeff Harmon, to explore a remarkable journey of resilience, vulnerability, and transformation.  After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, Jeff found himself facing challenges that would ultimately lead him to one of the world's most ambitious adventures: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair. But this conversation goes far beyond the mountain. Jeff shares how entrepreneurship, disability, leadership, and faith shaped his understanding of resilience, not as performance or toughness, but as a daily choice rooted in gratitude, authenticity, and community.  Together, Jeff and Dr. Dan explore what happens when pressure reveals who we really are, why vulnerability is one of the greatest leadership strengths, and how our biggest breakthroughs often come after the climb is over. This episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges are often invitations to grow, connect, and become more fully ourselves. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why resilience is a choice, not a personality trait How adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth The difference between performing leadership and embodying leadership Why vulnerability builds trust and influence The power of community when facing life's biggest challenges What Jeff learned from leading a Mount Kilimanjaro expedition How to develop true inner authority and authentic confidence Why the lessons from your "mountain" often come after the experience ends For more information visit myimpossible.org.

Aos 12 anos de idade, ele correu 43 quilômetros. Pouco depois completou sua primeira maratona e, em 1998, fez o primeiro Ironman de Porto Seguro. Depois de mais de uma década dedicada ao triathlon, passou a buscar desafios em ambientes extremos ao redor do mundo. A estreia nas ultramaratonas aconteceu na Antártica. Venceu a Ice Marathon e, no dia seguinte, também ganhou a prova de 100 quilômetros, estabelecendo um recorde. Mais tarde encarou os 250 quilômetros da Marathon des Sables, no deserto do Saara, além de uma ultra no Nepal. Parte dessas experiências acabou registrada em episódios do Planeta Extremo, exibido pela TV Globo. Alguns anos depois ele decidiu se aventurar em expedições de montanha. Subiu o Kilimanjaro, o Aconcágua, o Elbrus, além do Huascarán e do Quitaraju, no Peru e a Pirâmide Cartenz na Indonésia. Em 2018, encarou o Manaslu, no Himalaia. Em 2023 realizou a façanha de escalar o Monte Everest. A expedição aconteceu em uma temporada histórica no Everest, marcada pela letalidade, superlotação e pelas longas filas na chamada zona da morte. A experiência deu origem ao documentário Um Passo a Mais, lançado em 2025, que acompanha uma expedição sustentável ao Everest e propõe uma reflexão sobre o impacto ambiental causado pelo excesso de pessoas na montanha. Em paralelo ao esporte e às aventuras, trabalhou durante alguns anos no mercado financeiro até decidir empreender. Criou então a X3M para organizar o primeiro XTERRA no Brasil, projeto que mais tarde se transformaria em um circuito e incorporaria provas de corrida e mountain bike. De volta conosco hoje, o administrador de empresas que saiu do mercado financeiro para criar a X3M, agência especializada em experiências e eventos esportivos. O atleta aventureiro e inquieto com 13 Ironman no currículo, faixa azul de jiu-jitsu, piloto de moto, paraquedista e montanhista que se tornou o 35. brasileiro a alcançar o topo do Everest, o carioca Bernardo Pereira Mascarenhas da Fonseca.

Antonina "Tonya" Samoilova (@tonya.samoilova) ) is a record-setting Ukrainian mountaineer and alpinist known for scaling the world's most formidable peaks while raising global awareness for her homeland. She began her high-altitude mountaineering journey relatively recently in 2018, starting with Mount Kilimanjaro, and quickly transformed into one of Ukraine's most prominent endurance athletes. She is the first Ukrainian mountaineer in history to conquer the five highest mountain peaks in the world—Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu, and the first Ukrainian woman to summit Mount Everest three times (2022, 2023, and 2024). In May 2024, she completed a rare double-header by summiting Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours, setting a national speed record for a female climber. During her 2025 ascent of Kangchenjunga—the world's third-highest peak—she survived running out of supplemental air 200 meters from the summit, pushing through 20 harrowing minutes without oxygen at 8,400 meters. Samoilova uses her global platforms and extreme ascents to act as a prominent voice for Ukraine. In 2022, she was the only climber from Ukraine to unfurl her country's flag at the summit of Everest, broadcasting a message to "Stand with Ukraine". In 2023, she made international headlines by capturing the world's first drone footage from the summit of Everest alongside the Ukrainian flag. She frequently uses her expeditions to raise funds for Ukraine's Armed Forces and volunteer medical battalions, often dedicating her dangerous ascents to fallen Ukrainian defenders and her own family serving on the front lines.   Connect with Tonya: https://www.antoninasamoilova.com/ CAPTAIN: THE ATHLETE'S GUIDE TO BEING AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM LEADER is now live on Amazon!  CLICK HERE TO ORDER We are constantly asked "where have all the leaders gone?"

— Today's conversation explores what happens when the old strategy of "pushing through" stops working—and how resilience can be reinvented into a way of living, not just surviving. Nancy and I had a candid, hopeful conversation about learning to live differently after injury and chronic pain. We cover meaningful reflections on shifting identity, the emotional toll of being told you're "fine," rebuilding trust with your body, and the surprising possibilities that open when you stop forcing the old path. This episode is for anyone exhausted by effort that no longer yields results—and for anyone ready to discover a new kind of well-being rooted in acceptance, curiosity, and practical change. Valeria interviews Nancy Deyo  — She is a former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford University Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow whose career and identity were upended by chronic pain and disability.  After a spinal injury on Mount Kilimanjaro, she spent fifteen years navigating chronic illness, opioid dependence, medical uncertainty, and identity collapse. Once accustomed to a life of constant motion—leading a technology company and traveling the world—pain forced Nancy to live lying down, as the strategies that had defined her no longer worked. When medicine offered no clear answers, she explored everything from cutting-edge treatments to energy healers and shamans. The turning point was not a cure, but a shift: learning to rebuild her life within the constraints of chronic pain. She returned to the world on new terms—attending graduate school lying on an army cot and eventually resuming travel and work the same way. Today, Nancy writes and speaks about chronic pain, identity, and resilience. Her forthcoming memoir is Perilous Ascent.

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.
