Episode Synopsis

Ever wondered what the journey of climbing Mount Everest would be like? My guest today has not only climbed Mount Everest but has also climbed the highest peaks on all seven continents.  Vivian James Rigney is an executive coach at Inside Us and the author of the upcoming book, "Naked at the Knife-Edge: What Everest Taught Me About Leadership and the Power of Vulnerability". A compelling and often harrowing true account of Rigney's experience conquering Everest—the seventh and final peak of the Seven Summits he'd faced—Naked at the Knife-Edge offers a unique window into lessons on leadership and what it takes to succeed in any circumstance.  After enduring avalanches, sub-zero temperatures, and tragedy unfolding around him and his team, the roller coaster of pain, self-reflection, questioning, and above all, loneliness, left Rigney with an ego in tatters. It was then that he discovered an awakening of what real purpose and legacy actually is.    Time Stamps:   (0:10) My Guest Today (3:00) Vivian's Motivation for Climbing the Highest Peaks (24:40) Starting the Self Awareness Journey (30:56) What is Intuition?
