I’m excited to present to you our guest for today - journalist, mountaineer, motivational speaker, comedienne, social activist Shailee Basnet.Shailee started her career as a journalist fresh out of college and very soon found a way to satiate her hunger for adventure. Shailee along with 9 other women successfully climbed Mt Everest, the world’s highest mountain just at the age of 25. And this was just the beginning! Shailee then co-founded Seven Summits Women Team who have then gone to successfully climb the highest summits in the remaining six continents of the world.She is passionate about quality education, women’s empowerment and doesn’t leave any stones unturned to give back to the community. Shailee is also the first Nepali to perform at Gotham Comedy Club. I could go on and on about her accomplishments and the list would still fall short of covering this powerhouse of a woman.In this episode, we explore what drives Shailee to take life by the horns, deep dive into the idea of success and the importance of play. Her journey is absolutely astounding and I hope it encourages you to find your own Everest and conquer it.If you'd like to follow her journey and help the Seven Summits Women Team, you can visit their websites:http://sevensummitswomen.org/https://www.shaileebasnet.com/As always, if you enjoy these conversations, please share with your friends and family.
