Journey to the Sky: Entrepreneurs Amidst Chile's Peaks

In the vast, rugged landscape of Chile, lies a challenge that is both daunting and mesmerizing: the Ojos del Salado, the highest volcano on Earth and the pinnacle of Chilean peaks. Embarking on this 10-day odyssey, I guided a trio of entrepreneurs, each fueled by their own aspirations and ambitions. Much like the intricate dance of starting and nurturing a business, our expedition through the high-altitude desert required strategy, acclimatization, and relentless perseverance. Starting from 4,000m and progressing through a series of ascents, we scaled two 5,000m peaks, a formidable 6,000m, and finally set our sights on the nearly 7,000m zenith of Ojos.

As we ascended, each individual grappled with the altitude's physical demands and the weight of their own thoughts. The barren, surreal landscapes, combined with the daunting challenges of such high altitudes, fostered profound moments of contemplation. Amidst this dreamy backdrop, every team member experienced transformative revelations, making life-altering decisions that would shape their futures in the entrepreneurial world and beyond.
