Ep105 Samantha Gash - Crafting Connected Communities

If you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you have never done before”. My guest in this episode lives and embodies this.

Australian Samantha Gash started running as a break from studying law. Little did she know those small steps would turn into a journey that has seen her run over 20,000km across every continent on Earth, and raise approximately $1.3million for charity while advocating for women’s empowerment, social change and access to education.

The list of what Samantha has achieved is long. In this conversation we dive into her experience of a 77 day run from west to east of India covering 3253 kms. She has run across the Simpson Desert.

Earlier in 2020 Samantha wanted to do something to support the Bushfire appeals here in Australia, and pulled together a virtual Relief Run. The response was phenomenal with people all around the world contributing to raise of $1mil.

Samantha has also appeared on Australian Survivor and in the

The World's Toughest Race which is currently airing on Amazon Prime.

We talk about what drives her, the connection back to the trails, and life as a wife and a mum.

Samantha is real, authentic, and as down to earth as they come. You’re going to love every minute of this conversation with Samantha Gash.
