After over a year since my last solo podcast episode, I finally had the chance to sit down and share what has changed over the last 12 months, and specifically how 2023 has been the hardest year of my life. 

This episode sort of felt like a therapy session, I delved deep into my personal struggles with growing the business along with sharing how I overcame these struggles, experiences with anxiety, work-life balance, and why I decided to rebrand both myself and my business, Klowt.

Ash Dykes was a normal bloke working in a very normal town in Wales. That was until he turned 23 years old and decided to walk across Mongolia, solo and unsupported. For many, this would have been their greatest achievement. But for Ash, he sought after bigger feats and deeper challenges. 

Since Mongolia, he became the first to trek across Madagascar, contracting the deadliest strain of malaria and became the first to walk the 4,000 mile course of the Yangtze river - gaining celebrity status in China following its completion.

Ash has appeared on podcasts such as the Joe Rogan Experience and The High Performance Podcast, so it was a privilege to finally sit down with him and hear more of his incredible stories and how a boy from Oly Colwyn went on a life of adventure that few could dream of.
