In this episode, I speak to Neil Pitts, an ‘amateur adventurer' as he likes to call himself’ who embodies the art of working to live. Neil shares his journey of breaking free from a job he hated and finding purpose in pursuing his passions. 

He emphasises the importance of embracing change and having a positive attitude. Neil also discusses his experience of battling long COVID and his remarkable trip to ski the length of Norway. 

 

Neil’s approach of ‘knowing that everything will be alright’ runs through as a common theme.
