There is another anniversary of sorts. This year marks 20 years that Alex has been speaking on the circuit. Way back in 1996, Alex led his first expedition to Everest. In a year than has been well documented and stands apart as arguably the most notorious in Everest’s history, Alex led a small team to the North side without Sherpas or Oxygen. On his return he was broke and unemployed, and indebted to sponsors for another 15 months! So, with no alternative, he put his passion into motion. Standing in front of a small group from Aegis Insurance (remember them!) , he delivered his first Everest talk and charged R650. The rest, as they say, is history and since then Alex has shared his tales of passion and purpose from Dallas to Dubai, Munich to Beirut, Lebanon and all the way to Sydney. |
