In this episode, I sit down with Mark Hannaford, founder of World Extreme Medicine, to explore a life spent leading medical teams in the world’s harshest environments.
Mark shares frontline lessons from Ukraine, expeditions gone sideways, and what it really takes to deliver high level care when resources are low and risk is high.
What you will take from this episode:
- How to lead specialists under pressure with calm, humble clarity
- Why thinking five steps ahead and listening to your gut can save lives
- Tools to master panic with breath, focus, and simple next actions
- The importance of building eclectic, ego free teams that communicate well
- How to design life around passion while protecting mental health daily
If you want field tested insights on leadership, resilience, and purpose, this conversation with Mark Hannaford will serve you well. You will leave with practical tools to think ahead, stay calm, and lead when it counts.
