(Mark Pattison) Former NFL WR Conquers Earth’s Seven Summits

In this episode, I talk to Mark Pattison, former NFL wide receiver. I first found out about Mark by realizing he was a former NFL player, but then I saw something called The Seven Summits, which he accomplished on May 21, 2021. This is a feat only around 500 people in the world have accomplished. It refers to ascending to the highest peak on every continent on the planet.

Mark shares this experience, but then we go back to his college and NFL days, experiences that helped build the person he became to be able to overcome the challenge of the Seven Summits. You can learn more about Mark below in the bio and head to his podcast – Finding Your Summit.

Some of the topics we get into:

  • The journey and reason why he chose to tackle the Seven Summits
  • Some stories from his college career at the University of Washington
  • What “Once a Raider, Always a Raider” means to him
  • The purpose behind his podcast – Finding Your Summit
  • The advice he would give himself if he were to go back in my DeLorean and talk to his younger self as a High School Senior
  • Much more…..
