To the top of the world and back (Part 1)
Ever since he was a kid, Deloitte Consulting senior manager Ian Stewart wanted to climb Mount Everest. In the spring of 2019, he scaled all 29,000 feet.

In fact, as Ian tells us during the first of a two-part episode, the challenges of reaching the world’s highest peak are more numerous and extraordinary than most of us can imagine. And that’s before you turn around and come back down.
