Seventh Journey.

The leader's inside story of Australia's first Arctic expedition.

Seventh Journey gives you a brutally honest insight into what it takes to create and lead an outrageously ambitious expedition to one of the wildest places on earth.

This is a rare look into a leader's mind as he is forced to face one crisis after another, while carrying a high level of accountability to Patrons and key Advisors.

Share the shock of mutiny and violence, constant struggles with financial crises and equipment failure that threatened to scupper the project at every step.

Throughout, the author offers his deeply personal view of the Arctic's wild beauty, and profound philosophical insights, even as he faces death in the wilderness.

Seventh Journey is destined to become a great classic reference book for those seeking to develop their own leadership and entrepreneurship potential.
