In his work as a physician, geologist, and professional mountaineer, Steve has traveled extensively on every continent. He’s participated on eight Himalayan and four polar expeditions and brought his skill as an emergency physician to K2, Annapurna, and Everest. In times of crisis, Steve has responded to Darfur and the Democratic Republic of Congo and most recently has partnered to help build schools in Afghanistan.

Steve has had a remarkable life and we cover a lot of ground in this episode, challenge some notions you may have of the Taliban, and finish with some interesting reflections on preparation, opportunity, the value of embracing risk
