Ricky Munday is a Chartered Accountant, Mountain Leader and the founder of Inspire Alpine®. He delivers life-changing mountain events in the UK and overseas to enable others to follow their own dreams.
Ricky spent six years deployed with the Red Cross & other aid organisations in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean supporting the most vulnerable people, before being appointed as the youngest ever member of the executive team at the UK’s National Polar Research Organisation. Ricky talks about his journey from a council estate in Glasgow to the top of the world on Everest. During that journey, he faced and overcame adversity and mental health challenges - being arrested twice, dropping out of university twice and being made redundant during his accountancy training. He overcame these challenges by completing the Marathon des Sables, a 150-mile ultramarathon in the Sahara desert known as the ‘toughest footrace on earth’. This transformed his mindset and gave him the confidence and determination to follow his dreams.
Ricky shares lessons from turning back below the Death Zone on Everest in 2017 - when he coordinated the evacuation of a seriously injured team-mate from Chinese Base Camp - and how he put these lessons into practice on his successful summit attempt in 2018. He talks about perseverance, building resilience, goal-setting and overcoming adversity. Since climbing Everest, Ricky has spoken at more than 150 events to inspire others to raise their aspirations.
