Damian Browne is collectively defined as an extreme adventurer. In 2022, he set the record as being the first person to row a boat across the Atlantic Ocean from New York City to Galway, Ireland, covering nearly 3,000 nautical miles. Shockingly, this was not his first time - in 2018, he rowed a boat from Antigua to the Canary Islands, making him one of very few people to ever row both East-to-West and West-to-East.

You would think this would be the end of the story. However, Damian has also completed the grueling 5 day, 120 mile Marathon des Sables in 110F+ heat, ascended all 7 Summits, and has journeyed through 65 / 196 countries throughout the world, and competed in an accomplished rugby career for 16 years, among countless other achievements that were not able to be covered in this episode.
