Ep 24: Jo Bradshaw - The 7 Summits


Listen Later

Jo Bradshaw is a mountaineer who has climbed the seven summits, including Everest, and supports mental health charities.

What does it really take to climb the world’s highest peaks—and more importantly, to build a life that actually feels meaningful?

In this episode, we sit down with Jo Bradshaw—one of the few people on Earth to complete the legendary Seven Summits, including Mount Everest—to uncover the deeper lessons behind her extraordinary journey.

But this isn’t just a story about mountains.

It’s about redefining success.

Jo shares how chasing summits led her to a much bigger purpose: supporting mental health through charities like Place2Be, and why she believes happiness—not achievement—is the real measure of success.

You’ll learn:

  • Why focusing on the journey—not the destination—changes everything
  • How resilience is built (and why you don’t need a mountain to develop it)
  • What it truly means to find your personal summit
  • How purpose and happiness fuel long-term success

If you’re chasing big goals, feeling stuck, or questioning what success really looks like—this conversation will challenge your perspective and leave you thinking differently.

Standout moments:

“Happiness is success, whatever that looks like.”
“Live in the moment to reach your goals.”
“Supporting mental health charities is my purpose.”

This is more than an interview—it’s a mindset shift.

Listen now and start climbing your own Everest.
