What does it take to stare death in the face and keep climbing?
In this powerful conversation, ultra-endurance athlete and adventurer Oliver Foran sits down with Lachlan Stuart to unpack the real story behind his high-altitude climbs including Ama Dablam, where a fellow climber tragically fell 1,500 meters to his death just before Oliver’s own summit attempt.
But this story starts much earlier… with the death of Oliver’s mother at age 15, a defining fork in the road that shaped who he became and the mountains he chose to climb physically and mentally.
From walking away from real estate and the army to chasing a bigger mission, this episode dives deep into:
Grief, growth, and why most people don’t live fully
Mental resilience and what it means to lead yourself
How to set goals that actually transform your life
What most people get wrong about success
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to change your life, build belief from the ashes, or climb your own version of a mountain this episode is your sign.
