Turning Ambition into Action (with Tez Steinberg) - a podcast by Elena Agaragimova

In this episode of Shift, I chat with Tez Steinberg - an endurance artist, explorer, and storyteller who tackles extreme expeditions to inspire others and help solve the issues of our time. In 2020, Tez became the first person in history to row from California to Hawaii alone with no prior rowing experience. By sharing the story, he raised over $150,000 in donations for social impact from followers worldwide.   Tez has been speaking on stage for over 10 years, has 5 years experience as a management consultant with Deloitte, and has founded 4 nonprofits. 

He studied Economics at Macalester College and Oxford University, and earned his MBA at London Business School. 

Tez's leadership has been recognized by organizations such as The Explorers Club of New York, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and the World Economic Forum, who in 2014 named Tez one of the 50 best young minds in the world.
