I’ve spent over two decades building and understanding the skill of discipline and doing hard things.

From building businesses, climbing some of the world’s most iconic mountains to standing on the podium in some of the toughest races on the planet.

Every year I talk to thousands of students, employees, execs and athletes.

Through the medium of captivating storytelling I help teams develop discipline, antifragility and a powerful internal narrative that drives performance across their entire lives.
