What happens when success no longer satisfies—and the storm strips everything away?

In this trailer, Bart Wilbanks, author of Summit After the Storm, introduces a podcast born from the same journey as the book. Shaped by leadership, faith, adversity, and a near-death experience on Mount Kilimanjaro, this podcast expands the lessons learned when titles fall away and character is revealed.

Summit After the Storm is for leaders, professionals, and anyone navigating transition—those seeking clarity, humility, and purpose after life’s hardest seasons.

Because every summit comes after the storm.

And keep climbing… pole pole.

This episode begins where Summit After the Storm was born.

Bart Wilbanks shares the moment that nearly ended the journey before it truly began—a violent storm high on Mount Kilimanjaro that became a near-death experience and a defining leadership lesson. But the mountain wasn’t the first storm. Long before the climb, Bart was navigating personal loss, spiritual drift, and a season of quiet unraveling that many leaders know all too well.

In this episode, Bart reflects on what storms reveal about character, faith, humility, and leadership when control is stripped away. This is the foundation for everything that follows—because the climb isn’t just physical, and the storm is never the end of the story.

If you’re navigating adversity, transition, or rebuilding, this episode sets the tone for the journey ahead.
