When Ernest Shackleton set out to cross Antarctica, he had no idea his greatest legacy wouldn’t be in reaching the goal—but in surviving the failure. In this episode, we dive into the legendary expedition of the Endurance, where Shackleton’s ship was trapped in ice and his men faced two brutal years in one of the most unforgiving places on earth. What followed was a masterclass in courage, grit, and sacrificial leadership. Join us as we uncover the story of a man who refused to let hardship define him—and who led his crew home without losing a single soul. Shackleton’s life offers a powerful blueprint for men called to lead in the face of fear, chaos, and the unknown.
