Mike Allsop on Conquering Mt Everest, Building Self Belief, and Living an Extraordinary Life

In this episode, I chat with airline pilot, Everest mountaineer, adventurer, extreme marathon competitor, speaker, and author, Mike Allsop - an ordinary family man proving that anybody can accomplish extraordinary things.

We chat about Mikes near-death experiences including surviving a plane crash off the coast of Hawaii and dodging avalanches on the worlds gnarliest mountains.

Mike is an ambitious guy who consistently sets big goals that stretch what he believes he is capable of. He has summited Everest in an unguided expedition, run 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days, completed the worlds highest marathon around Everest, a feat never before attempted, and has lived a life of extreme adventure where he has constantly faced fear and pushed his mental and physical limits.

We discuss the mindsets and mental toughness required to summit Mt Everest, the techniques Mike uses to control his mind under pressure, why passion is a key ingredient to actually achieving your big goals, how to create unstoppable momentum towards your goals, and how Mike thinks of fear and acts with courage even in genuine life or death situations.

Mike is a sought after keynote speaker and author who dedicates himself to showing that others too can achieve their dreams and ambitions by overcoming the fear of failure, building self-belief, and breaking each goal into a series of smaller steps.

This is a fascinating and inspiring conversation with a man who has tested himself against the limits of human endurance lived a life full of challenge and adventure.
