In this mini episode, I read through some highlights of my favourite book, 'If I could tell you just one thing' written by the incredibly talented Richard Reed. Everyone should own this book, it is magnificent.

Taking a slight deviation from breaking down stigma, this episode is more focused on overcoming mental and physical challenges. I talk to adventurer and intrepid explorer Anna Blackwell who is just infectiously positive so I hope you really enjoy listening. Even if spending five months solo on a remote expedition is your idea of hell, there are still a lot of take home pearls of wisdom which are definitely applicable to life in general.

you can find Anna in the following places:
