Andrew Potter is an Army Ranger who did three tours in Afghanistan. He also loves rock climbing! This is my first interview with a rock climber, so that automatically make it one of my favorites. I’ve been rock climbing over forty years, so this is fun. Andrew is co-founder of RoKC which is the premier rock climbing gym in Kansas City with three locations. Andrew and I talked about rock climbing, his tours in Afganistan, and how his spirituality influences his workplace. This is the first of a series of interviews covering spirituality and the workplace, so hope you enjoy. This one rocks!
