Thomas de Dorlodot – Adventure, Ego, X-Alps & The Road Back from injury

In this episode, I sit down with Thomas de Dorlodot – adventurer, Red Bull X-Alps athlete, filmmaker, father, and long-time friend.

We talk about big projects, failed plans, mental struggles, social media pressure – and of course, the Red Bull X-Alps.

Thomas shares openly about what this race really means to him, what he would do differently, and how it shaped his perspective on performance and life.

He speaks about his recent injury, the dark times that followed, and how he’s finding new energy and direction – not just as an athlete, but as a human being.

This is a conversation about ego, joy, the reality behind big expeditions – and why it’s okay to struggle, to reflect, and to reinvent yourself along the way.
