Win the Day 174. Enjoy the Climb with Jenn Drummond (record-breaking mountaineer) 🏔️
“You’re off to great places. Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!” – Dr. Seuss
In 2018, a horrific car accident brought Jenn Drummond just inches from death...
The authorities and experts couldn’t figure out how she had managed to survive against such impossible odds. But for Jenn, it was an important realization that while we cannot control when we leave this life, we can choose how we live it.
Since then, Jenn has become the first woman to climb the World's Seven Second Summits – the second tallest mountains on every continent. That includes K2, the second-highest mountain on Earth, widely considered the toughest and most dangerous mountain to climb.
In this episode:
- The fateful night that changed Jenn’s life forever
- How to stay positive when it feels like everything is against you
- The most interesting moments from her mountaineering adventures; and
- How to reach the summit of your greatest challenge.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Jenn Drummond!
