TOUGH TALKS - E020 - Stephen McGhee - Leadership Guide, Speaker, and Author
Who gathers a group of six NON-mountaineers, trains them mentally and physically for a year and then climbs the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere with them? For personal and professional growth reasons. Who DOES that?! Leadership Guide, Speaker and Author Stephen McGhee does. --- And he’s my guest in this episode of Tough Talks. And what a treat he is! Stephen and I have spent exactly zero hours of time together in the same physical space but I have studied him and followed his work for years in such a way that I feel like he’s a brother. We have also shared the same amazing coaches so we really are kindred spirits. And that made for a really “spirited” dialog on purpose, passion, commitment, mental toughness, success, meditation and jumping into freezing cold water. --- Here are some of the highlights: - Mastery doesn’t mean perfection, it means progression. - Urgency doesn’t mean being in a hurry, it means that since life is so precious, let’s create NOW with what we have. - Getting “soft” as a Man. - The WHY of the Aconcagua Men’s Project. - Climbing as the metaphor for intrinsic freedom. - The necessity of doing something completely “unreasonable.” - “Suffering is underrated!” - Who soaks in a goddamn ice bath for 4 minutes every morning?! - His approach to integrating “bad news” - The discipline of doing the thing you just don’t feel like doing. - The Sanskrit origin of the word, “hu-man.” - His gift to you for listening. --- Links: www.mcgheeleadership.comhttp://www.vimeo.com/ondemand/14289 (this is to get a free copy of the documentary of the Aconcagua climb!)
