Lessons From The World's Most Hostile Places with Oli France
Through leading expeditions across some of the world's most hostile destinations, including Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Congo, and Yemen, Oli France has encountered numerous bleak situations, from earthquakes and avalanches to militias, interrogations and being held at gun point.
Despite these challenges, he has learned that even in the most difficult situations, there is untold beauty to be found if we allow ourselves to see it.
As a result of his experiences, Oli has developed various mental strategies which he will share, along with harrowing and uplifting stories from his intrepid journeys around the globe.

Today's show sponsor is Wattbike. I've played around with a lot of indoor training tools and they don't come any better than the Wattbike Atom. You can now get 10% off the Wattbike Atom at wattbike.com in their limited time sale. So if you are thinking about a smart bike or like me a turbo was proving frustrating then now's a good time to buy
Today's show is also brought to you with special thanks to our amazing on-going sponsor Factor Bikes
“I've done it myself, where I've really tried to push things, and I've pushed things a bit too far. And I've put myself in risky situations or dangerous situations, I think what you should focus on, or what people should focus on generally is the process, the actual journey involved.”
