The Decision-Making Studio Podcast Ep. 108: Katie-Jane L'Herpiniere - How to Develop an Adventurous Mindset
One of the types of people we love to have on the All Things Risk podcast are adventurers. Adventures capture so much about risk and uncertainty and they are a microcosm of what we face and deal with in our broader lives. If that sounds like we believe that we should live our lives a bit like adventures, you’re right. Our guest today embodies exactly that and we can learn a lot from her.
Meet Katie-Jane L’Herpiniere, aka Kate-Jane Endurance. Katie is an adventurer, endurance athlete, speaker, and expedition leader. She has done some amazing things like being the first to trek across the entire length of the Great Wall of China, crossing the Patagonian icecap, riding the original 1911 Tour de France route unsupported, and being only one of 29 finishers (out of 98) to complete the inaugural Silk Road Mountain Race in Kyryzstan last year. We talk about all of those things and more including:
- What to do when things go wrong;
- Teamwork;
- Toughening up;
- Preparation and planning;
- Quitting (I loved this Instagram post of hers on the topic);
- Fear of the unknown.
