One of the reasons I love hosting this show is simple — it allows me to meet fascinating people, hear their stories, and learn from their experiences without traveling the world to do it. Technology gives us access to brilliant minds we’d never cross paths with otherwise.
Today’s guest is Dr. Lance Mortlock — a professor, managing partner at EY, bestselling author, mountaineer, and proud husband and dad. But what stood out most wasn’t the résumé… it was the journey behind it.
👉 As a kid, his teachers told his parents he’d “never amount to anything.”
👉 He failed repeatedly — including climbing a major peak FIVE times before reaching the summit.
👉 He built a career around strategy, resilience, curiosity, and doing the hard things most people avoid.
We talked about:
• How small daily wins can pull you out of the hardest seasons
• Why failure teaches more than success ever will
• How strategy differs from tactics (and why most entrepreneurs confuse the two)
• How AI is reshaping business models faster than leaders can adapt
• Why businesses that execute relentlessly will win the future
If you’re building a business, navigating uncertain times, or searching for motivation to keep going, this episode is packed with insights you’ll want to hear.
