Hello beautiful people

On today’s podcast we have the determined Mark Inglis. In 1982, at the age of just 23, Mark became trapped in an ice cave for 14 days with a fellow mountaineer by a sub-zero blizzard on the summit of New Zealand’s highest peak. Both starving and freezing, Mark lost 30kg and slowly watched as his feet were overcome by frostbite. This frostbite, upon being rescued, led to Mark becoming a double amputee below the knee.  In the year 2000, Mark became the first New Zealand silver medalist in cycling in the Paralympics Games and in 2006 he became the world’s first double amputee to summit Mount Everest. Mark is a scientist, award-winning winemaker, business innovator, trekking guide and philanthropist, being the Founding Trustee of the Limbs4All Charity which is committed to helping some of the 400 million disabled people in the world express their potential.

What I personally love about this conversation is Mark’s deep determination in life. It is so fascinating to hear of the mindset behind surviving 14 days in such dire circumstances; the importance of knowledge, of faith and of having confidence in a compelling future. I’m also really inspired by the self-belief that pulled Mark to take on climbing Mount Everest as a double amputee; this idea of, even though it hasn’t been done, does not mean it cannot. And, I love Mark’s focus on attitude and how you yourself have control of how long the hard parts in life last.
