In this episode, Tyler sits down with Lance Fox. Lance was a veterinarian who now works for the largest vitamin manufacturer for both humans and animals. Along the way, he had the opportunity to climb Mount Everest, which led him to starting the organization called Healthy Yak. Tyler and Lance discuss perseverance, management styles, and the mental and physical struggles of climbing Mount Everest. Key highlights: “It reminds you of the fragility of life. It sets in motion in you that live life every day to the fullest. I'd been doing that, but boy, that was a real eye-opener for me that this is real. This isn't a game. We try to instill in our kids just live your life every day.” “One of the things that I have tried to do with my style of leadership, with my team doing this now for four and a half years, with this team of professionals, is you lead by example. We hear that all the time, right? We do have to live by that mantra, but I dig a little deeper with my people and I try to bring out not only what's in the best of them but I've got people I'm nurturing to take over my position.” “You have to be insightful, right? You have to watch your people, identify their strengths, but also capitalize in their weaknesses. Grow their weaknesses so they actually become even stronger. That's the style management that I particularly use with leadership.” “I always tell everybody, from my kids on through, that someday you're going to have that spark moment. That book was my spark moment. You need to hold on to that spark moment. Dreams don't happen overnight. You can hear the cliché that any dream is possible. You may not always accomplish the dream, it's the journey to try that counts. That really is truly what it's about.”
