Will lessons learned behind the desk transfer to physical challenges? This week's guest says yes! When you stop climbing corporate ladders, what do you climb next? For Vanessa O'Brien the answer is almost everything! The more difficult the better. She applied what she learned in the challenging environment of the Fortune 500 to the natural environment in a dramatic way. The extreme conditions taught her valuable lessons about happiness and success. Growing up, she was thrust into a challenging situation as well.

Lessons:
