Oli France is an international speaker, adventurer and founder of Wild Edge.

Oli ditched the corporate grind for a life in some of the most remote and dangerous places on Earth. He’s faced angry mobs in Ethiopia, stared down the barrel of a gun in Iraq, been detained as a suspected drug trafficker in Uzbekistan, and survived a deadly earthquake in Indonesia. This is the story of why he chose danger over comfort and what it teaches us about resilience, risk, and truly living.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• How Oli went from a soul-crushing corporate job to becoming an expedition leader.

• Facing an angry Ethiopian mob over a Premier League football match.

• What it feels like to live through a powerful earthquake in Indonesia.

• Why Oli actively seeks chaos and uncertainty.

• The hidden sacrifices behind living a life of adventure.

• Real-world strategies to defuse dangerous encounters abroad.

• How modern English society’s comfort culture weakens our resilience.

• Why struggle, risk, and discomfort are vital for a fulfilling life.

• The dark side of technology and convenience and how it changes our humanity.
