Ben Fogle: Living with Primitive Tribes and Overcoming a Mental Breakdown (E331)


Listen Later

Ben Fogle is an adventurer, TV presenter, and author who has explored some of the most remote corners of the world. From navigating the wilderness to facing the challenges of mental health, Ben's experiences have shaped him into someone who values both physical and mental resilience.


In this episode, Jake and Damian chat with Ben about his mental breakdown in 2023 and the journey to recovery. He opens up about how it impacted him and the lessons he's learned in managing work-life balance, knowing when to say no, and asking for help when needed.


Ben also talks about the power of embracing solitude and how spending time alone, whether indoors or in nature, can be incredibly healing. Drawing from his travels to diverse countries, he reflects on valuable life lessons we could be adopting from different cultures, and how these observations could enrich our own lives.


This episode offers a deep dive into mental well-being, the importance of adventure, and the simple, yet powerful, practice of self-reflection.
