Savage Perspective Podcast

Across the Desert and Back Again with Matt Dawson


Listen Later

Have you ever dreamed of pushing yourself to the limit? Matt Dawson ("Dawson") is a M&A investment banker, corporate investor and small business operator turned multi-record holding endurance and adventure athlete; sought-after public speaker; lifestyle/performance advisor; and founder of Dawson's Peak Foundation. Beginning project Seven for Soldiers in May 2021, Dawson set multiple records by rapidly completing a previously unheard-of number of global expeditions (in a single year), including summiting the Seven Summits (the highest peak on every continent); skiing to a pole (South Pole); traversing a desert (Mojave); and rowing across an ocean (Atlantic). Matt has found his purpose in life, and it was inspiring to speak with him. I know you'll enjoy this episode.
