We carry more than we realize: mental, emotional, and even physical baggage weighs us down as we strive for health and fulfillment. We can find ourselves investing energy in habits, routines, or beliefs that no longer serve us, leaving little room for vitality or joy. This isn’t new information, but the challenge is knowing how to let go of what’s unnecessary.

In this episode, learn how simplifying your “backpack” - in everything from nutrition to mindset - can help you move more efficiently toward your goals, making space for what truly matters and energizing every summit you climb.

He is recognized for his work with business leaders and his Seven Summits framework, which encourages defining and striving toward holistic life goals.
