Ep 24. Andrew Katz - Darden: Staying Focused on the Big Picture, from Mount Everest to Business School
Today’s episode is about keeping your eyes on the big picture—whether that means summiting Mount Everest or making it to business school.
Our guest, Andrew Katz, recently stood on top of the world—literally. After years of working toward his MBA, he took time away from work to pursue a personal dream: climbing Everest. And in two months in the mountains, he gained more perspective, growth, and clarity than any project at work could have offered.
In this episode, we talk about:🔹 What it was like to summit Everest—and how the view shifts your perspective🔹 Conversations about MBA programs at 26,000 feet with fellow climbers🔹 How focusing on long-term goals helped him navigate career and personal decisions🔹 Why the lessons from the mountain apply just as much to life and leadership as they do to altitude
Andrew’s story is an incredible reminder that stepping away can sometimes be the most powerful move you make.
Let’s get into it! 🏔️🎓
