#26 This Entrepreneur Climbed Mount Everest Without Supplemental Oxygen -- and it Changed How He Manages His Team

Adrian Ballinger, founder of Alpenglow Expeditions, is an expert climber who'd summited Mount Everest multiple times. But after a failed attempt to summit without supplemental oxygen, he realized he'd need to change how he trained and worked. At the heart of this new shift was a simple solution -- asking for help. He learned how to depend on the support and advice of both a team of experts he'd assembled and his crew. With their help, he didn't just reach his goal, he learned a new way of working and managing that's actually changed his company and how he thinks about limits.
