Episode 22. Dr. Jon Kedrowski on Becoming Everest Ready: Mindset, Adversity & Adventure
What does it mean to be “Everest Ready”? Today’s guest doesn’t just talk about mindset — he tests it at 29,000 feet.
Dr. Jon Kedrowski is a world-class high altitude skier and mountaineer, a three-time world record holder, and the coach trusted by performers like Mike Posner and Devon Levesque. With more than 30 major expeditions, four successful Everest summits, and a PhD in weather and climate, Dr. Jon brings scientific precision to the art of adventure.
In this episode we break down the Everest Ready Mindset — a framework for preparing mentally, physically, and emotionally for adversity. Jon explains why challenges are essential, how to train for the mountain before you ever arrive, and what climbing teaches us about leadership, vulnerability, and living life to the fullest.
Whether you’re pursuing big goals in adventure, business, or life, this conversation will leave you more capable, more resilient, and more inspired to do hard things.
Key Takeaways
The Everest Ready mindset is about seeking hard challenges, not avoiding them.
Training must align with your ultimate goals (“train mountains with mountains”).
Positivity changes the difficulty curve — especially in adversity.
Preparation makes the truly hard things feel manageable.
Failure is a teacher, and vulnerability builds trust.
The outdoors develops resilience that transfers to everyday life.
High-level coaching begins with shared experience and connection.
Life is short — push your limits and live it fully.
