Keith Renninson built up a successful career in the financial services industry for more than two decades until he hit a midlife crisis. After realizing he wasn’t satisfied with where his life and career were headed, Keith decided to travel alone to the Himalayas to find himself again.

As he landed, terrible snow storms began to hit the Everest region. Keith found himself lost in the mountains within the first four hours of his trek. His new award-winning book “Tenacity: You Don’t Have to Get Lost in Nepal to Find Yourself, But it Helps!” is based on the trip.

Today he’s an award-winning author and keynote speaker known as “The Tenacity Expert.” He helps people overcome burnout and stress so they can experience more freedom, fulfillment and fun. 

In this episode, he shares more on:

• How several passion projects became the catalyst for Keith’s midlife crisis
• A change in plans resulted in getting lost near Mt. Kanchenjunga (and the story of his rescue)
• What it really takes to bounce back from life’s biggest challenges
• The important role of common sense plays in building tenacity and resilience
• A simple “three-finger-method” Keith learned for calming himself down
• Defining retirement by what makes you feel like you’ll live a long time
