Joined today by Guinness World Record holder Lhakpa Sherpa, the woman with the most Mount Everest summits by any woman in history and the star of the hit Netflix documentary "Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa".

We chat about her incredible journey from growing up in Nepal to becoming one of the world's greatest mountaineers, her new family-run hiking company, and all of the sacrifices she made as a single mother of three while chasing her dreams. Lhakpa talks about her 11 Everest summits, overcoming domestic abuse, breaking records, and what it's really like to climb the world's highest mountain.

Plus, we talk about her favorite foods, the future of Everest climbing, the documentary, and much more in this convo with the Queen of the Mountain.
