#13 - What Adults Get Wrong About The Tech-Gen | Youth Expedition Leader

Connor Fletcher is an Expedition Leader with unique experience in leading children as young as 15 in some of the world's harshest environments. We get honest about resilience, failure, and why adventure is about people as much as peaks. Connor is a straight talker on the grind behind expeditions, social media myths, and the power of shared achievement.


In this conversation, we talk about:


- Children are tougher than we think, tech-gen myths

- Dream-chasing: failure, burnout, 24/7 expeditions on low pay

- Calling out the one-trip Instagram armchair mountaineer

- Why shared summits beat solo glory
