Key topics include how endurance athletes develop mental toughness, the importance of persistence and preparation in business development, and how leaders can inspire their teams by fostering resilience and discipline. Mike shares real-life stories of Antarctic explorers and endurance athletes, drawing parallels between their experiences and the challenges professionals face in sales and business development.

Mike’s background professionally started in the recruiting business in 1997, working specifically to show managers and leaders exactly how to identify and recruit the best people.

His flagship program, Leading at 90 Below Zero, connects the drivers and principles of Antarctic expedition history stories to the real world of finding, engaging and keeping great people in today’s business world.
