If you're tired of hearing that success requires luck or money, this episode will blow that myth wide open.

This week, Rachel Rodgers is joined by Wasfia Nazreen — world-renowned mountaineer, activist, and the first Bangladeshi to climb all Seven Summits. But let’s put things into perspective: she didn’t have sponsors, safety nets, or a trust fund. In fact, she started with nothing but an unshakable sense of purpose.

Together, Rachel and Wasfia unpack:

How Wasfia scaled the world’s highest peaks (while broke)
The mindset she uses to push through the “impossible”
Why resilience isn’t just about grit — it’s about healing and reflection 
The exact steps she took to fund life-changing expeditions
And how you can apply the same tools to grow your business, break barriers, and achieve your wildest goals

Wasfia proves that no matter where you start, you can go higher than you ever imagined.

So press play and learn how to climb your own Everest.
