Summary
In this episode, Leana sits down with Devon Levesque, Everest summiteer, entrepreneur, man of faith, and one of the most quietly influential people living life at full volume. Devon opens up about staring death in the face on the Hillary Step, losing his father at 16, building one of the cleanest supplement brands on the market, and why your values, not your goals, are what set you free. This conversation is raw, real, and deeply human. If you walk away wanting to do more with your life, that is exactly the point. Leana and Devon get into: What it actually took to summit Mount Everest 47 days, avalanches, and a near-death moment on a six-inch ledge at 28,000ft How losing his dad at 16 became the defining turning point that shaped everything about how he lives today Why therapy, mental performance coaching, and seven-day phone detoxes are non-negotiables in his life The five core values that run his entire schedule and how to find yours The riverbank tool he uses to instantly disarm negative people without losing his peace Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 fun, and why Type 2 is the one that actually changes your life His 90/10 nutrition approach, the supplements he takes every single day, and why he goes directly to the source for every ingredient Why faith, prayer, and leading others in gratitude are woven into everything he does Sweet Honey Farm, Monroe Austin, and the Running Man Festival; the community-first projects he is building right now "If you don't control your time, someone else will." — Devon Levesque TOPICS DISCUSSED (00:00) Introduction to Devon Levesque (01:39) Climbing Mount Everest: The Journey Begins (11:51) Near-Death on the Hillary Step (20:24) Faith, God & the Afterlife (34:12) Daily Rules for a Fuller Life & Type 2 Fun (39:33) Core Values: The Framework…
