The View From The Top: What Climbing Snowdon Taught Me About Business & Community

The Agency Accelerator

Today we have a slightly different and more personal episode.

Earlier this month, I had the incredible experience of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales.

This challenging endeavour not only pushed me to my limits physically but also provided valuable insights and lessons applicable to running a business.

So in this episode, I'll share with you why I was there, the parallels between mountain climbing and entrepreneurship, as well as practical strategies to implement in your own business.

So whether you've climbed Snowdon before or not, get ready for an inspiring and insightful discussion.

Quotations

“Having a community around you pushes you to achieve more than you think you could. When your brain is saying STOP, having a community around you who are supporting you and willing you on is so absolutely important.” - Rob Da Costa

“It's really important that we stop and enjoy the journey and don't just focus on the destination. This was true when climbing Snowdon and is true when running an agency” - Rob Da Costa
