Listen to some of the minutes toward the end of my interview with Meghan Buchanon, a true overcomer who we all can be inspired by.  A few of these minutes can apply to the Everests that we all face.  

A few of these minutes were taken from my interview with Meghan Buchanan, an Aerospace Engineer, Adventure Athlete and Motivational Speaker. She has set her sights on becoming the 1st Rocket Scientist to climb the 7 Summits, 5th US WOMAN to complete the EXPLORERS GRAND SLAM (climbing the world’s 7 Summits and last degree ski to the North and South Poles), and eventually 1st US WOMAN to complete the Adventurers Grand Slam (unsupported Poles). She has taken on impossible and defying odds to inspire all of us.  Her story is incredible including a broken femur with two years of excruciating pain and physical therapy to pulling off the impossible as a mountaineer.  She is the "Rocket Girl" - Breaking Boundaries for Women in Engineering and Mountaineering.  She has overcome stereotypes, obstacles, and life-threatening injuries by applying her tools of GGRIT.

Gratitude – Growth – Resilience – Integrity – Tenacity

Our interview wasn't long enough.  You will be inspired, amazed, and come out of this wanting to hear more.  Lessons from a Rocket Scientist who Climbed Mount Everest and so much more.  

Let me just say, it was just a blessing for me to have such a great conversation with a person of inspiration.  Thank you Meghan!
