Peak Mindset: What Climbing Everest Taught Me About Leadership, Business & Getting Sh*t Done

A few months ago, I set off on one of the toughest things I’ve ever done, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

And no, I didn’t summit Everest (yet), I hiked to Base Camp.

But here’s the thing: Everest Base Camp isn’t just a trek. It’s a mirror. A high-altitude reality check that strips back your excuses, tests your grit, and forces you to ask yourself: What am I actually made of?

The , team sat down with me after the climb, and we talked about it all:

• What freezing at -15°C teaches you about mental resilience

• Why business and mountains are more alike than you think

• How I used leadership skills at 5,000m to get my team to the end

• Why I’ll never aim for 20% growth again (hint: it’s not big enough)

This wasn’t about the badge or the bragging rights, it was about proving something to myself. I’m all in on every challenge I take on, whether it’s scaling a mountain or scaling a company. And I’ll be honest: this climb changed how I show up.
