Jenn Drummond: Overcoming Challenges and Finding Your Everest

Conversational Selling

About Jenn Drummond:A car accident in 2018 left Jenn Drummond awestruck and emboldened. Rescue workers couldn't imagine any scenario where she came out of it alive, but she did. That's when she realized you don't get to choose when you leave this life…but you sure can choose how you live it. Strengthened by this awareness, she set out to live more authentically and adventurously. Inspired to climb a mountain for her birthday, her son raised the stakes by suggesting Mount Everest. Not one to back down from a challenge, she accepted the pursuit. During her training, her coach upped the ante and proposed she go for a Guinness World Record and become the first woman to climb the 7-second summits. The pursuit matched her desire to live a life of significance, not just success. Today, Jenn is a world record holder who elevates others to master their summit in life. She's a successful business owner and Mom of 7 remarkable kids who, as you have heard, boldly inspire and brazenly challenge her. She's also an international speaker, author, and Host of the Seek Your Next Summit podcast, focused on inspiring others to go beyond success to a life of significance. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Jenn.

In this episode, Nancy and Jenn discuss the following:

• The concept of the seven-second summits.
• Jenn's journey of reevaluating life and setting ambitious goals.
• Jenn's training routine and creative training methods.
• The euphoria of setting a world record.
• Lessons from mountain experiences.
• The "What's your Everest?" concept.
• Jenn's Bold, Brave, and Beautiful Philosophy.
• The importance of checking in with oneself.

Key Takeaways:

• That woke me up to the concept that I don't get to choose when I die, but I sure get to choose how I live.
• It hasn't been done by a female, harder than the first seven continents, seven mountains, seven children: I think it sounds like a jackpot.
• I took the mountain experiences and extracted lessons that apply to the metaphorical mountains we climb every day.
• So do you because doing you gives others the courage to do themselves, and everybody benefits.
• I want the audience to own who they are and step into that as much as possible.

" So, when I started everything, I had no social media whatsoever because I just thought it was all racket and that wasn't necessary, and why would I share all this? This is my private life. And one of my friends convinced me, she's like: "Listen, we rarely get to see the environments that you're going to. We're not going to take on these mountains like you are. The closest that I get to having this experience is through you. So, it would be amazing if you would be willing to share this because it gives me a chance to be involved". I was like: "Okay, sure." So, I started the site as Bold. Brave. Beautiful. And those words came together because you have to be bold enough to say YES to what sets your heart on fire. Then, you have to be brave enough to put action behind it and be willing to be a beginner in whatever you're doing. And by doing those two things, being bold and being brave, whatever unfolds is beautiful because it's your story." – JENN.

" I'm checking in. You know, I think we need to just check in with ourselves and say: "Hey, is this working? Is this what I want my life to look like? Does this feel good? Is this getting me closer to my goals, or what am I doing right now? And is that hurting my progress?". So, I feel, you know, the book's called Break-Proof, and I feel we either break or take a break. So, taking a break is the proactive piece of that. Breaking is the reactive piece to it. And so, if we can plug in breaks and take those and just reflect and say: "Yeah, this is where I want to go, or this is what I want it to look like, or all this stuff's coming together." Then you're taking a proactive approach to your life and living with intention." – JENN.

"No one agrees with me on this. You know, I have a grump dump. So, I think the whole world has a gratitude journal, right? And everybody's like, listen to, list your gratitude, and do your gratitude journal and all these different things. I am grateful, 100%. But I also have grumpy things that go on, things that don't go my way, or things that I get frustrated with. And I have a journal, and I call it the grump dump. And I dump all those. I put terrible thoughts or feelings or unheard pieces of me into that journal to get it out of me instead of just pretending I'm happy all the time. And that grump dump journal helps me be authentic and lean into gratitude, but I need to get that yuck out and not pretend it's not there." – JENN.
