Wheeler Presents Changemaker Speaker Series: Cory Richards – The Color of Everything

BUY TICKETS

March 28, 2025 @ 7:30 pm

Climbing legend, mental health advocate, and global raconteur, Cory Richards has photographed for National Geographic in the most remote corners of the globe. This epic tale of risk and adventure is told by a man who lives madly to avoid going mad. In this quest, Cory has climbed Everest, paddled Botswana’s Okavango, and battled Antarctica’s katabatic winds to make the first ascent of its tallest tower. But, in the midst of a wildly successful adventure photography career, a catastrophic avalanche changed everything, forcing Cory to confront the trauma of his past, grapple with how he defines success, and reexamine the cost of fame and addiction. His courage and resilience in the face of pain offer a hopeful reframing of what it means to be human.
