While most of us just need to listen to "the whispers" to change the entire trajectory of our lives, Jenn Drummond needed a shock event. That moment came in the form of a devastating car accident that left her with a profound realization: life is too short to live small. She began writing a bucket list, determined to make an impact and honor her gift of life. When her plans to climb Ama Dablam were derailed, Jenn's young son challenged her to climb Mount Everest instead - the ultimate test of human endurance. Despite having no prior mountaineering experience and being a mother of seven, Jenn took on the challenge head-on. This was just the beginning of her journey to becoming the first woman in the world to climb all seven of the world's second-highest summits. Jenn describes what it was like to tackle such an audacious goal with no prior experience while juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and a busy life. However, the true power of Jenn's story lies in the profound lessons she learned along the way.  Discover why pursuing goals is less about the achievement itself and more about the person you become in the process. If you've ever doubted your ability to achieve the impossible while juggling the responsibilities of life and parenthood, Jenn's story will inspire you to dream bigger and push beyond your perceived limits.  In This Episode: - The accident that changed everything - Climbing Everest - Overcoming self-sabotage - It's the pursuit that gives life meaning, not the end-goal  - Why taking a season of rest is important - Lessons learned from climbing the mountains - Facing fear and failure on K2 - Returning to K2 - Overcoming illness and adversity - The power of perspective - Embracing fear and new challenges About my Guest: Jenn Drummond is a world record-holding mountaineer, international speaker, author, and host of the Seek Your Next Summit podcast. Inspired by her young son, she set out to climb Mount Everest, and then her coach proposed an even greater challenge: becoming the first woman to climb the Seven Second Summits and secure a Guinness World Record. As a successful business owner and mother of seven remarkable kids, Jenn now dedicates her life to inspiring others to go beyond success and master their own summits, both in life and in the mountains.

Ever started a business on a whim, just to cure boredom or pursue a passion? For serial entrepreneur Jeff Fenster, that's exactly how his wildly successful multi-million acai bowl franchise, Everbowl, was born. But Jeff's path to success was anything but linear. From enlisting in the Marine Corps to pursuing a law degree, Jeff tried all the ‘donkey ideas’ before stumbling upon his true unicorn. He even "retired" at a young age, only to discover that a life without purpose left him feeling unfulfilled. In a moment of boredom, Jeff took a leap of faith and signed a lease for his first Everbowl location with no business plan, no menu, and no clue what he was doing. However, his unique approach to building relationships with customers and his willingness to start before he was ready were some of the key moments that propelled Everbowl to success. Today, Everbowl Franchise boasts nearly 100 Stores, which were built by his construction company, ‘WeBuild’.
