What happens when you say yes to an unexpected opportunity? In Part 1 of this three-part series, I'm sitting down with Joel Schauer, an Adventurers Grand Slam achiever, one of the few people in the world to reach the North Pole, South Pole, and the highest peak on every continent. What makes Joel’s story extraordinary isn’t just the mountains, it’s that he started at age 48, never had climbing on his bucket list, failed multiple times, battled altitude sickness, and had to learn when to quit, when to trust, and when to keep going. This episode explores:

• How failure became part of the journey, not the end

• Why trusting the right guide matters more than confidence

• The mindset shift from chasing goals to embracing opportunities

• Patience, persistence, and the leadership lessons forged on the mountain

This is a powerful conversation about thinking differently, letting go of control, and discovering what’s possible when you take the next step, even when the path wasn’t part of your plan.

🎧 This is just the beginning. Be sure to come back for Parts 2 and 3.
