#12 The Journey After the Journey - with Ben Saunders and Jerry Colonna

Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all. -- Sir. Ernest Shackleton

Ben Saunders knows very well the ups and downs that come with attempting to do something groundbreaking. Like so many entrepreneurs, he struggled with the challenges of being an effective leader, and faced the pain of fundraising or not meeting payroll. But Ben's end goal was a bit different. He's a polar explorer.

Between October 2013 and February 2014, he and his companion Tarka broke the record for the longest ever polar journey on foot. On their path to the South Pole, they faced temps of -50F and windchills near seventy below all while they covered nearly seventy marathons back-to-back on less than four hours of sleep a night. This record breaking journey was nearly ten years in the making for Ben, and truly was an amazing accomplishment, but despite all that he found the inner journey that followed even more challenging. In this conversation, Ben and Jerry discuss Ben's journey on and off the ice.
