Conquering Mountains & Becoming Breakproof with Author, Speaker and Adventurer, Jenn Drummond #69
We sometimes need to come close to death, to realise how much life we’ve yet to live.
Jenn Drummond had once quit on herself - now she stands proud, having scaled the 2nd highest peaks on all 7 continents, arguably the most challenging climbs on the planet.
So how do you take a near-death experience and channel it into a new lease on life? Jenn’s story is an unparalleled inspiration, and she shares it all in this week’s Extrology.

“Success used to be financial because it's such an easy thing to measure. I got to a limit that I thought I'd feel successful. I doubled it, then doubled it again. I realised this game wasn’t gonna work, so this isn't really success.” - 53:05 - Jenn Drummond
