In this fantastic conversation, James shares amazing stories from his escapades: cycling 500 miles with one leg, evading Narco’s in Mexico & supporting a world record breaking hand-biker in India. James is also a “resilience cultivator”, content creator and event speaker who is on a mission “to inspire and empower others to embrace adventure, push their limits and pursue their dreams”, so look out for advice on how to cultivate your own resilience, push through challenges and pursue your own dreams. - - - KEY TOPICS OF THE CONVERSATION - - - In this episode we discuss: • James early days, childhood heart condition and successful corporate career• His transformation into 'the Biking Viking'• Stories from his 20,000 mile cycle tour from Alaska to Argentina• How to overcome mental & physical challenges… and how James cycled over 500 miles across Mexico with one leg!• Inspiration to help others pursue their own dreams• James’s (double!) world record-breaking plans to be the first human to cycle across Antarctica• James’s view on the meaning of true Happiness & Success - - - CHAPTERS - - - 00:00:00 - Intro ("A sunny new podcast...")00:00:26 - Guest Intro00:01:56 - Welcome… 00:02:24 - James's origin story: his corporate career and early success00:06:16 - Sliding Doors moment - meeting a cycle tourer in Myanmar00:09:35 - James's  early years & first taste of adventure00:12:20 - Alaska to Argentina: 20,000 mile cycling adventure00:14:07 - Alaska to Argentina: the route00:15:15 - Resilience and the importance of community00:16:03 - Transforming into 'the Biking Viking'00:19:00 - Alaska to Argentina: Mental preparation00:22:21 - Alaska to Argentina: Key challenges00:22:59 - Cycling 500 miles on one leg in Mexico00:27:07 - Dealing with 60mph winds in Southern Patagonia (Argentina)00:32:13 - Alaska to Argentina: Key lessons00:32:36 - Pre-trip preparation: Flicking the Switch00:34:19 - Keep pushing forward: Just do what you can do!00:36:00 - Motivation: 'Cardiac Risk in the Young' charity00:37:58 - Alaska to Argentina: Importance of biking community00:41:01 - Skills for Success: Determination00:44:04 - Unlock your potential: Advice to help others pursue their dreams…00:46:31 - Alaska to Argentina: completing the journey un-supported00:47:41 - Skills for Success: Managing the logistics00:49:58 - Personal safety & navigating danger in South America00:51:34 - Narco HQ & military lockdown following the capture of El Chapo's son00:57:37 - Genuine danger in Belize: random acts of violence01:01:13 - Another adventure: supporting a Hand Biking world record attempt in India01:05:28 - Antarctica: "a transformative experience"01:06:04 - Skills for Success: Forgiving yourself01:08:10 - Next BIG project: world record-breaking plans to be the first human to cycle across Antarctica01:14:17 - Antarctica: preparation for a next-level adventure..01:17:10 - Antarctica: content creation & promo01:18:01 - Antarctica: sponsorship & fund-raising01:19:47 - Can individuals cultivate grit or resilience?01:22:41 - Tools & techniques to help cultivate resilience01:25:06 - How James's experiences benefit individuals & organisations?01:27:26 - What is happiness?01:29:11 - Gratitude & enjoying the journey01:31:30 - Juggling relationships with globe-t

  7. Simone Ippolito (Bring Community Power & Dorset Wine Festival): Leaving everything on the court

    Simone Ippolito (Bring Community Power & Dorset Wine Festival): Leaving everything on the court

    When I came up with the concept for Success on the South Coast, Simone Ippolito was the first name on my wishlist of guests. I first came across his name when I read an article in the local paper about the inaugural meeting of ‘Bring Community Power’. I was immediately intrigued by this ‘Italian guy’ who was spearheading a group driving positive change in Bournemouth.  After digging deeper, I discovered Simone is an ex-pro basketball player and also the man behind numerous projects, including the ‘Dorset Wine Festival’. Simone speaks from the heart so grab a glass of wine (preferably a good Italian red), sit back and enjoy!
