Have you ever wondered what it's like to explore the world's wildest places and embark on life-changing adventures? Join us as we welcome Oli France, an adventurer, expedition leader, and speaker who guides teams through untamed landscapes with his company, Wild Edge. Listen in as Oli shares his incredible journey from growing up in a northern town to completing a degree in outdoor leadership and discovering the true essence of adventure and personal growth.
We dive into Oli's extraordinary 2015 journey from Hong Kong to Istanbul, traveling across Asia and climbing at least one mountain in every country he visited. He recounts his experiences of the Tibetan New Year, evading Chinese police officers, and the warm welcome he received from the locals of Langmusi. Ollie also reflects on the diverse people he encountered during his travels, from humble Tajikistan villagers to billionaires and ex CIA officers.
Finally, Oli sheds light on how pushing our boundaries can profoundly impact our resilience and confidence. He emphasizes the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones and leaving our egos behind when facing challenges, noting that even the most prepared individuals can find themselves questioning their life choices on an expedition. Through Oli's fascinating insights and experiences, we uncover the true essence of adventure and personal growth – a conversation you won't want to miss.
