In this episode we chat with John Beede who is a world class adventurer and one truely great human. John has climbed the 7 Summits, has written books, is a motivational speaker and currently facilitates men's retreats, yet in this candid conversation punctuated with humility and humour he opens his soul to our audience. It is so beautifully uplifting to hear such an accomplished mountaineer, perhaps an outdoor guru, share stories of natural connection and transcendence in the world, grounded in moments of personal discovery and enlightenment. Yet to have the skills and stamina to summit the Grand Teton (WY) USA in a day with no tent, no pro and one rope suggests that John is indeed a mountaineer of significant standing. But loves to fill his downtime on expeditions gold panning in his underwear !

Intrigued, enjoy the chat
