This episode is a plot twist in real time.A few weeks ago, I mentioned I’d be trekking to Everest Base Camp and climbing Lobuche East Peak in November. It’s a terrifying and exciting move—and it all came about thanks to the guest on today’s show: Matthew Stewart.Matt is a long-time friend, adventurer, and the CEO behind The Custodian Way, a collection of businesses with one mission: creating 30 million impact moments annually by 2030. He's also the founder of Experiences Not Felt Possible—the exact program I’m now joining.In this conversation, we explore:Why climbing mountains is just a vehicle (and not the point)The problem with chasing your “why” too soonHow redefining everyday language changes everything (from patients to athletes, clinics to arenas)The 5-stage opt-out hiring process his team uses (hint: it flips traditional recruitment on its head)The importance of creating pages in your Book of LifeHow to build workplaces where no one gets performance managed outWhy your dream doesn’t have to look “big” to be boldYou’ll also hear about:Dreaming big with constraintsThe story of Carol and the Brisbane clock tower that’ll stay with me foreverWhy saying “If it is to be, it’s up to me” can shift you out of a funk instantlyThis isn’t a feel-good fluff piece. It’s a real, raw look at designing a life where the experiences define the strategy, not the other way around.Follow Matt:🌐 matthewstewart.co or connect on LinkedIn📸 @mattjstewart on Instagram🔗 The Custodian Way and Experiences Not Felt PossibleSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comP.S.
