In this powerful episode of The Values Exchange Podcast, we explore the value of vulnerability with ultra-endurance athlete and super yacht chef, Helgi Olafson. Diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis at 19, Helgi refused to let a debilitating autoimmune disease define his limits. Instead, he embraced the mantra "Movement is Medicine", pushing through unimaginable challenges—including a fractured foot—to complete some of the world’s most grueling endurance races.

Join us as Helgi shares his journey from the galley to the Trans Triple Crown of 200s, a staggering 2,850-mile endurance challenge, and how vulnerability, resilience, and mental strength shaped his success. We’ll also dive into the making of his upcoming documentary, Sonoran Odyssey, his advocacy work for those battling chronic illness, and the life lessons he’s learned on and off the racecourse.

This episode is a testament to the power of taking risks, embracing challenges, and daring greatly—even when the odds seem impossible. Tune in and get inspired to push beyond your own perceived limits.
