The Man’s Pursuit

In episode 11, Garth & Simon welcome record-breaking adventurer, speaker and author Alex Staniforth onto the show. 

At just 26, Alex Staniforth is already an expert in overcoming challenges, having survived the two biggest disasters in Mount Everest history as a teenager, including the 2015 Nepal earthquake. However, his biggest challenges have been much closer to home, suffering with epilepsy, stammering, bullying and mental ill health since childhood.

He is the fastest person ever to climb all 100 UK county tops and won the Pride of Britain Granada Reports Fundraiser of the Year in 2017. In 2020 he ran the National Three Peaks Challenge – completing 452 miles in just 9 days 12 hours.

In this episode, we cover:

- Why challenges are so important

- Alex’s near-death experience on Everest

- Alex’s battle with long covid and what he’s learning from it

- As well as mindset, defining success, favourite books, contentment and so much more
