The Lessons of Leadership From 18 Years in The SAS & 3 Everest Expeditions

Krish Thapa is one of the gentlest souls you will ever meet. Which is surprising since he was the first Ghurka to be invited to join the SAS and has been on active service with them for 18 years. He has led 3 expeditions to the summit of Everest. He has faced his own mortality on many occasions, and has had to help others face theirs. As an expedition leader on Everest, Lhotse, Manaslu and K2, he has had to manage people with difficult egos, work with disabled veterans and protect the lives of those in his charge. We discuss his childhood, how it shaped his approach to leadership and how his spirituality has seen him through times most of us would have crumbled under. We discuss his career, his charity work and his insights into a living a full and inspired life packed with adventure. We explore how he balanced the demands of serving in the Special Forces to family man, what drives him, his values and his views on life. Not a typical Inquisitor Podcast but one that was too good an opportunity to pass up.
