But even more than that, it was impossible not to be swept up her infectious joy and gratitude when doing these activities, as well as her openness in talking about the challenges she has faced and her message that it is never too late to start. Last summer, Jo was the first woman to stand up paddleboard 162 miles coast to coast along the Leeds Liverpool Canal, picking you litter & fundraising for The Wave Project & 2 MinuteBeachClean charity. As a freelance aqua fit instructor, writer & festival speaker alongside her “day job”, she is passionate about sharing the joy of movement for our physical, mental & emotional wellbeing and for developing a kinder relationship with our bodies. She is a huge advocate for tiny adventures & finding joy in the every day - eg wild swimming, plogging (running & picking up litter). During quarantine she climbed Everest in a Month in her backyard, raising money for her local foodbank. Her short award winning adventure films, self taught & made on her iPhone, have been screened at adventure festivals. A film about her coast to coast adventure will be released this autumn.

| 22 Jul 2020 | The adventure of becoming an author - Joyce Osei | 00:24:23 | |
Joyce Osei is a business analyst and champion for diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Her career has seen her working in global publishing companies, as well as working with clients across a wide range of industry sectors. Earlier this year, she published her first children's book ‘The Adventures of Amma and Kwessi - In Barbados’ and it is her journey to becoming a published author, that this episode is focused on. Joyce took the decision to write the book when she realised that there were just as many problems with diversity and representation in children’s literature as there are in the workplace. Noting the absence of any characters that looked like her children in the stories she read to them - and nobody stepping forward to fill that void - she took the brave decision to do this herself. Basing the stories on her and her family's own experiences (with a magical twist!), she hopes that the characters and ideas that she has developed will inspire other children to head out on their own adventures to.

Charlotte Fowles is also known as The Executive Adventurer. She helps corporate leaders who are frustrated, lost or bored to achieve their fully uncompromised life without sacrificing their current success. Always one to practice what she preaches, she has spent a lot of her life pushing herself way outside her comfort zone in pursuits such as free diving, marathon running, solo-hiking whilst on chemotherapy, and crossing the Australian outback for months in an ancient 4x4 truck. After enduring over a decade of personal trauma, she is an expert at creating triumph from tragedy and living life in spite of this, and brings this epic resilience to her coaching. But in addition to this, and one of the reasons I wanted to speak to Charlotte for the podcast, was that 3 times a day, for 14 weeks over lockdown, she held a 3 minute dance party over zoom. Starting from an idea that came to her whilst she was out running, her audience snowballed and it turned into an event that made an enormous difference to the mental health and sense of connection of those who attended at such a challenging time.

| 14 Oct 2021 | Surfers Not Street Children - Tom Hewitt MBE | 00:43:02 | |
Tom Hewitt, a lifelong surfer, first went to South Africa in 1990 on an anti-apartheid fact finding trip with local activists. He also spent time with peace activists in Maputo, Mozambique during Mozambique’s civil war. It was here that he met street children for the first time. Inspired by the movement against apartheid, Tom stayed on in South Africa to volunteer further. Shocked at the plight of street children in Mozambique, upon his return to South Africa, he noticed and befriended a group of street children in East London, a town in the Eastern Cape. In 1992 he started working with street children in that town as a way of supporting, in a small way, the transition of the country into the new South Africa and in 1994 he was a peace monitor at South Africa’s first free and fair elections.
