episode How to Reclaim Your Life at 40 | Vicki Anstey artwork

How to Reclaim Your Life at 40 | Vicki Anstey

Vicki Anstey is world record-holding adventurer, resilience coach, entrepreneur, and former SAS: Who Dares Wins finalist. Vicki has rowed across the Pacific Ocean, raced 3,000 miles across America, and completed ultra-endurance events in some of the world's harshest environments. But her story didn't begin with adventure. After leaving a long-term relationship that had left her with little confidence or self-belief, Vicki made the decision to completely change the direction of her life. In this conversation, she shares what resilience really means, how we can perform under pressure, the importance of psychological safety, and why we're all capable of far more than we think. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one.

episode Running 8000 Miles From Beijing to London | Jack Jarvis artwork

Running 8000 Miles From Beijing to London | Jack Jarvis

Jack Jarvis is a former British soldier and the first person in history to row solo, unsupported from mainland Europe to North America. Over 111 days, Jack covered 4,630 miles alone at sea, facing storms, exhaustion, isolation, and some of the harshest conditions the Atlantic Ocean could throw at him. But this challenge was about more than setting a world-first. It was driven by a deeply personal mission to raise money for brain tumour charity Brainstrust in memory of his grandfather. In this episode, Jack shares what it's like to spend months completely alone, how he coped with fear and uncertainty, and the mindset required to keep moving forward when quitting feels like the easier option. He also talks about his next adventure, running 8000 miles from Beijing to London. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust. It means a lot to have partners who care about the journey, not just the outcome and I’m really proud to have them alongside me on this one.
