Alison Levine has peaked the 7 summits of the world, skied to the North Pole and South Pole and written the bestselling book On the Edge. She is a history-making polar explorer and mountaineer. She served as team captain of the first American Women’s Everest Expedition, climbed the highest peak on each continent and skied to both the North and South Poles—a feat known as the Adventure Grand Slam, which only 20 people in the world have achieved. She is the author of the New York Times best-seller On the Edge: Leadership Lessons from Mount Everest and other Extreme Environments.Levine is the founder of the Climb High Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of jobless women in western Uganda by training them to be trekking guides and porters in their local mountains, thus allowing them to earn a sustainable living wage through climbing-related tourism. Her efforts enabled the first group of local women to climb Uganda’s highest peak—Mt Stanley, and her work in Africa is the subject of the PBS documentary Living Courageously.https://alisonlevine.com/about-alison/Host Doug Gordon:• Former C-level executive, recognised in The Times and The Independent for building large global businesses.• International bestselling author of "Charge Yourself Up for Success - Energizing your life, work and relationships"• Former national radio host and now sponsored podcaster of the show “Inspirational People, Inspirational Stories” featuring over 350 NYT bestselling authors, film stars, sports leaders, political figures, and major business executives. • 5× award-winning speaker, trainer, mental health specialist, and performance mindset coach.• 28k+ followers on LinkedIn and 100+ recommendations. • Sponsored as an ambassador by Together Magazine and Louis Copeland & Sons.Website: https://dougdgordon.com/#AlisonLevine #SevenSummits #PolarExplorer #Leadership#Resilience #MentalToughness #HighPerformance#ExtremeAdventure #Exploration #MountEverest#DecisionMaking #InspirationalStories#LeadershipPodcast #PeakPerformance #chargeyourselfupfirsuccess
