Unleashing Unlimited Potential: Lessons from Near-Death Experiences and World Records from Extreme Adventurer Ash Dykes
Life lessons from the extremes 💪 Ash Dykes, British Adventurer and Extreme Athlete joins me for an epic episode of the "On a Mission" podcast. This one will have you gripped from the start as he shares untold stories and describes hair-raising situations he's faced during his various world record expeditions 🤯. We discuss how lessons learned from these extreme situations can be applied in everyday life, such as breaking down goals, holding onto your vision, eradicating doubt, and understanding that motivation may not always be present, but discipline can be. Ash talks candidly about the fire that ignites him from within, his reckless past that has shaped him, and some of the most nerve-wracking, hair-raising adventures he's experienced, including encounters with snakes, crocodiles, and even the bubonic plague! Definitely one of my favourite episodes so far.

But it can also be far more valuable to find those missions and set those challenges for yourself without being ordered to do so. The education system needs some form of initiation in order to give children a better perspective on life. They must be taught to fend for themselves in a way, to learn what it takes to survive, and thereby gain a better view of the lives that are being given to them by their parents. There comes a point during certain expeditions where our bodies want to quit. But if we do not push on and persevere we will expire in some nameless place. It takes an iron will to carry on. When challenges stack up from day one it can knock you psychologically - the negativity can turn your mood from hope to hate. Controlling these emotions is part of becoming a great adventurer. BEST MOMENTS 'I don't like the thought of not being a free spirit' 'Facing adversity and struggles makes you stronger' 'You don't ever know what lies beneath' 'We came back stronger!'
