Adrian is a British record-breaking polar explorer and adventurer, best known for reaching the three extreme points of the Earth—the Three Points Challenge...walking all the way to the North Pole, South Pole, and summiting Mt Everest, all in the shortest period of time (1 year, 217 days - his first Guinness World record). He has completed the straight-line vertical crossing of the Greenland ice cap, crossed the Arabian desert, and summited K2, known to be extremely challenging.
A passionate social campaigner and commentator, an Arabic and Nepalese speaking former British Army Gurkha Officer, who also spent two years in the Special Forces, Adrian has also written two books and featured in three documentaries to date. He is also an Advisory Board member for one of the future Mars projects. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, he has lived and worked in 8 countries and traveled to more than 100. In his social commentator and campaign work, Adrian is an ambassador on economic, social & environmental sustainability, which we discuss in this episode.
We speak about themes for each year in relation to goal-setting, a huge rock of Adrian's philosophy as a leader. We unpack that moment when he reaches the top of a mountain...the experience, and how it is captured - food for thought for those of us stuck to our phones. Adrian opens up, and displays his vulnerability, shares his stories of grit...as to how there is something to be always taken from an experience, good or bad.
