Below is the live tracker following me on my journey to complete the world's first solo, coast to coast, ski crossing of Antarctica...
I am currently in Antarctica on a mission to complete the world’s first unsupported, solo, 2,700km, coast to coast, ski crossing of Antarctica. For 110 days, I will be completely alone in the coldest, windiest and driest continent on the planet.
Speaking
On Your Stage
I speak to leadership teams, sales organizations, conferences, schools and universities, and sports teams. The keynote is called The Edge of Possible™, and no two versions of it are the same, because no two rooms are.
What I teach is what I had to learn: how to think clearly under pressure, how to love the work when it gets hard, and how to perform at a high level without burning down the person doing it.
None of what I teach came from a seminar. I was diagnosed with PTSD after Iraq, where one of my jobs was walking in front of our convoys looking for bombs. The depression and drinking that followed took me to the brink of suicide. Everything I teach now came out of that journey, from the depths of the abyss to the heights of self-mastery.
Since then I have run ultramarathons, completed 24 hours straight on a stair climber, spent 17 days alone in darkness, and spent 60 days alone in Antarctica hauling a 420-pound sled for 500 miles on a world-first expedition.
I am not there to motivate your team. Motivation wears off by Monday. I am there to give them something they are still using a year later.
The mind matters most.
Almost no one trains it.
Even among high achievers, very few train their mind with the same rigor they bring to their craft. That gap either costs them the win, keeps them trapped in unnecessary mental suffering, or both. That’s why self-mastery is the foundation everything else stands on. As you master yourself, you bring that inner strength to your body, your craft, and every arena you step into. That’s what we work on together, one-on-one, using the Self-Mastery Model: backed by decades of research and forged through combat, Antarctica, and 17 days of complete darkness.
