Rise To Your Everest
Rise To Your Everest is a podcast about challenge, identity, and becoming who you’re capable of being.
Hosted by Adam Clayton, the show explores what happens when people step outside comfort, lean into discomfort, and choose growth — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Through honest conversations with athletes, entrepreneurs, adventurers, and everyday high performers, Rise To Your Everest dives into the stories behind resilience, discipline, failure, and purpose. Not the highlight reel — but the real moments that shape who we become.
Each episode is a reminder that your “Everest” doesn’t have to be a mountain. It’s the challenge in front of you. The hard conversation. The risk. The commitment to keep climbing when it would be easier to stop.
If you’re searching for direction, craving challenge, or looking to reconnect with purpose and community — this podcast is for you.
Because growth lives beyond comfort.
And the climb is always worth it.

In the first ever episode of Rise To Your Everest, Adam sits down with Dan Staves — personal trainer and ultramarathon coach — to explore what endurance really teaches us about life, discipline, and resilience.
Dan shares his journey into ultra-endurance, the mindset required to keep going when your body and mind want to quit, and why learning to do hard things on purpose can shape confidence, identity, and self-belief.
This conversation goes beyond training plans and miles covered. It’s about consistency, self-responsibility, and building the mental toughness to show up — not just in sport, but in everyday life.
A powerful opening episode for anyone looking to push boundaries, reconnect with purpose, and start climbing their own Everest.
