Climbing Mount Everest: Conquering Life’s Biggest Challenges with Faith | Degrees of Success Podcast
What happens when you reach the summit of Mount Everest—alone—and suddenly go blind? In this jaw-dropping episode of Degrees of Success, host Freda Richards sits down with Brian Dickinson, a former Navy Air Rescue Swimmer and extreme adventurer who survived one of the most harrowing Everest descents in history. Brian shares the unbelievable true story of how he summited Everest solo, only to be struck with snow blindness, forcing him to navigate the dangerous descent with zero vision. His survival is a testament to mental resilience, faith, and sheer determination—lessons that can be applied to any challenge in life. Brian also shares powerful life lessons from his book Blind Descent, offering practical advice on overcoming adversity, building resilience, and staying focused on your goals—whether in business, education, or personal growth.
