Gordon

Film Maker & Entrepreneur

He/Him

Profile

Anthony Gordon is an award-winning filmmaker, adventurer, and storyteller who has created world-first projects across all seven continents. From building the first Sherpa-led rescue team on Mt. Everest to producing ground-breaking films beneath the ocean’s surface, he has consistently broken barriers to tell stories that matter.

His work has taken him from the death zone of Everest to Antarctica’s frozen frontiers, from deserts and jungles to the silent depths of the ocean. Along the way, he has not only survived extreme environments but uncovered powerful lessons in leadership, resilience, empathy, and system change that resonate with audiences everywhere.

Anthony delivers keynote talks that inspire action, challenge conventional thinking, and provide practical frameworks for leading in uncertain, high-pressure, and transformative environments.

Expertise
Talking Points

The Real Heroes of Everest

Shifting the spotlight from climbers to Sherpas, and how redefining heroism can change how we treat those we rely on most.

Building in the Death Zone

What launching a life-saving operation in one of the world’s most dangerous places taught Anthony about leadership, trust, and vision.

The Altitude of Purpose

Why people risk everything for meaning — and what Anthony learned about purpose 8,000 metres above sea level.

From Survivor to System Builder

The moment Anthony saw the problem—and how creating the solution changed everything.

Who Saves the Sherpas?

A talk on invisible labour, dignity, and disrupting systems that leave critical workers vulnerable.

Teaching Courage, One Bubble at a Time

Courage isn’t taught through words, it’s breathed in, one bubble at a time. When we give children the chance to face fear safely, they don’t just overcome it, they grow because of it. And sometimes, it starts with a single breath beneath the surface.

In a world where children are increasingly disconnected from nature, overprotected from risk, and overwhelmed by digital noise, this talk offers a bold alternative: immersive, real-world experiences that challenge, inspire, and build character. Scuba diving is the metaphor and the method, a platform for growth, trust, and transformation.
