In today’s episode Andy and Jonas sat down with Chris Warner. Chris is one of America’s most accomplished mountaineers, leadership educators, and entrepreneurs.

He is the ninth United States citizen to summit both Everest and K2 (and for those of you who don’t know, Everest may be the tallest mountain in the world, but K2 is perhaps the hardest mountain in the world to climb because of the athleticism and technical skills required to successfully make it to the top of that rugged mountain, and then back down to safety.

He has led more than 200 international mountaineering expeditions, guided the first-ever reality TV show on Everest for ABC, filmed, starred in and produced an Emmy Nominated documentary for NBC about his K2 expedition, and hosted a leadership special on the History Channel.

As an expert at creating and leading high-performance teams, Chris is one of the rare adventurers in the leadership training and development industry with both corporate and academic expertise, allowing him to equally educate and motivate.
