  Jun 29, 20261 hourS1

  Zuko Tisani set out to conquer the world's highest mountain. Instead, Everest transformed him. After surviving altitude sickness, oxygen failure, hallucinations and a near-death experience at over 7,000 metres, Zuko was forced to make the hardest decision of his life: turn back. In this deeply personal conversation, we explore: ✔ Why he adopted a "death or glory" mindset ✔ The moment he realised he might not survive ✔ What altitude sickness really feels like ✔ The psychology of extreme performance ✔ The difference between ambition and wisdom ✔ Faith, purpose and finding meaning in failure ✔ Why he plans to return to Everest in 2027 ✔ His mission to inspire South Africa's next generation This isn't just a story about climbing a mountain. It's a story about becoming the person you were meant to be. #HumanPotential #Everest #ZukoTisani #EnhancedPodcast #Resilience #Motivation #Mindset #Leadership #Faith #PersonalGrowth
