“At a dZi Foundation board meeting, I spoke with a humble man who shared his attempt to summit Mt. Everest. Nearing the top, he encountered a stranger, near death and alone. He had a choice: continue his $75k, two-month pursuit or sacrifice his goal to save the stranger's life. He chose the latter. Inspired, I felt selfish keeping his story to myself. I asked to record our conversation and share it, but he initially refused. With persistence, he opened up. That's when I realized that the most humble people deserve to have their stories shared to inspire others.” -Andrew Namanny
