This week we are joined by adventurer, motivational speaker, and author Alex Staniforth. At the young age of 25, Alex has had some amazing adventures, wrote 2 books, and co-founded Mind Over Mountains! Having attempted to summit Everest twice whilst battling his own mental health, Alex talks to us about all the lessons he's learned from his adventures and how he's using this in his mental health charity, Mind Over Mountains!
