  • The woman who battled -50°C and whiteouts to break polar world records: Preet Chandi S3:E6
    In 2022, Preet Chandi MBE became the first woman of colour to complete a solo, unsupported expedition to the South Pole, covering 700 miles in just 40 days. And that wasn’t the only world record she would go on to break. But these achievements are more than just personal milestones – they’re a powerful challenge to long-held ideas about who belongs in the world of extreme exploration. In this episode, I speak with the British physiotherapist and Army officer about what it took to prepare for one of the harshest environments on Earth – from dragging a tractor tyre through the streets of her hometown in Derby, England, to enduring whiteouts, isolation and temperatures below -50°C in Antarctica. But the toughest battles weren’t only physical. ‘Polar Preet’ opens up about navigating cultural expectations, pushing through moments of fear and failure, and finding strength in the belief that her journey could inspire others to dream bigger.

  • The blind climber who conquered one of America’s toughest peaks: Jesse Dufton S3:E5
    Jesse Dufton's ascent of Devil's Tower redefined what’s possible in the world of free climbing. Not because nobody had climbed it before him, but because he did it without seeing the rock in front of his eyes. Jesse was born with a genetic condition that left him blind, and his climbing journey from his local crags in the UK to some of the world’s most challenging walls is a testament to innovation, trust and sheer determination, proving that vision isn’t just about what you see – it’s about how you move forward – even when you’re dangling hundreds of metres up in the air.  In this episode, I talk to Jesse about the challenges of climbing without sight, the unique communication system he and his climbing partner and wife, Molly, have developed together allowing him to navigate rock faces without sight, and the mental resilience required to push past fear and uncertainty. He shares the heartbreak of failure, the euphoria of summiting, and why climbing is more than just a sport – it’s his ultimate source of freedom and joy.  Follow Jesse on Instagram.

  • The Everest record-holder who faced life-or-death decisions – twice: Cathy O'Dowd S3:E4
    Cathy O’Dowd made history as the first woman to summit both the North and South sides of Everest, but her journey to the top was anything but smooth. Facing life-or-death decisions, brutal storms, and the weight of expectation, she learned that success in the mountains isn’t just about strength – it’s about resilience, strategy and knowing when to push forward. In this episode, I talk to the South African adventurer about the highs and lows of her record-breaking ascents, navigating one of the deadliest disasters in mountaineering history, the pressure of media attention, and the moment a call from Nelson Mandela inspired her to keep going. From near defeat to ultimate triumph, Cathy shares what it truly takes to stand on top of the world. Follow Cathy on Instagram.

  • The surfer who shattered his back on a giant wave and returned stronger: Andrew Cotton S3:E3
    Andrew Cotton has made a career out of chasing some of the biggest waves on the planet. But when a brutal wipeout at Nazaré left him with a broken back, his future as a pro surfer was suddenly uncertain. The road to recovery wasn’t just physical – it was a battle of fear, doubt and sheer determination to return to the giant waves that nearly ended it all. In this episode, I talk to Andrew Cotton about his journey from a plumber in North Devon, UK, to a professional big wave surfer, the mental resilience it took to get back on the board after his accident, and how pushing limits – both in and out of the water – became his way of life. He also shares why he's passionate about the Wings for Life World Run, a cause close to his heart. Follow Andrew on Instagram.

  • The runner who blazed through 3,524 km in just 40 days: Tara Dower S3:E2
    Tara Dower’s record-breaking run on the Appalachian Trail pushed the limits of endurance and mental strength. Covering 3,524 km in just 40 days, 18 hours and 5 minutes, she battled extreme fatigue, brutal terrain, and her own mind – where even a "dirt nap" could mean the difference between failure and success. In this episode, I talk to the ultra-runner and trailblazer, whose first attempt at the trail ended in a panic attack. She shares how overcoming anxiety, training with legends and leaning on her crew helped her break barriers – not just for a record, but for herself. Follow Tara on Instagram.
