There's something incredibly humbling about standing at the foot of the world's tallest peak, feeling the bite of the cold Himalayan air and knowing you've walked the same path as legends. We felt that awe with Rob Bruce of Got to Get Out, who joined us to recount tales of guiding groups through the trials of Everest Base Camp during winter's sting. His stories aren't just about the physical endurance required to brave such extreme conditions, but also about the mental fortitude that comes from pushing past boundaries and emerging, transformed on the other side. This episode gives an insider's look into the life-altering effects these journeys have on those who dare, as well as the reverence for Sir Edmund Hillary's legacy.

Rob tells us how he traded boardroom buzzers for the serene silence of snowy peaks, and how the Sherpa people's culture and heritage are as integral to the Everest experience as the climb itself. 

We also discuss the importance of fostering a love for the outdoors in children and the role that modern technology plays in shaping—or inhibiting—the spirit of exploration.

So join us for this soul-stirring conversation that celebrates the power of adventure to redefine our limits and the enduring call of the wild that beckons us.
