On today's Podcast, we have Mike Corey. Mike Corey is a Youtuber, TV Host and Adventurer.

After working for several years creating short films for tourism brands worldwide, he turned his sights to YouTube. He began an adventure travel channel focusing on the world's bizarre attractions and unique cultures. Participating in exploding hammer festivals, getting tattooed by a head hunter tattooist, and scuba diving in hydrogen sulphide are just a few of the adventures he's taken his viewers on.

This week on the podcast, we are heading to turkey and exploring a place called satans castle, where what was meant to be a quiet night of solo camping turned into shots fired and my guest running from the police. I am delighted to introduce Mike Corey from Fearless and Far to the podcast.

In March 2020, Oli completed a solo and unsupported 16-day 405-mile trek/ski across the frozen length of Lake Baikal, Siberia, the world's largest freshwater lake, while dragging a 60kg sledge, becoming one of only a handful of people to do so alone.

Oli's adventures have taken him through deserts, jungles, mountains, and war-torn regions. He has faced spies, interrogators, minefields and arrest, along with avalanches, earthquakes, killer snakes and severe dehydration, all while attempting to complete challenging journeys in remote corners of the world, either alone or while leading a team.

On 6th August 2016, Darren Edward's life changed forever. Whilst rock climbing in North Wales, he was involved in a severe fall that would leave him with a life-changing injury. With a rock section unexpectedly shifting below his feet, he was sent tumbling uncontrollably toward his climbing partner below. The damage he sustained would leave him instantly paralysed from the chest down with a severe spinal cord injury. Yet, as he was prepared for aerial extraction by the Mountain Rescue, he made an essential and life-changing commitment to himself. He wouldn't be beaten.

He has pushed himself at each stage of his rehabilitation to come back stronger and prove what can be achieved by someone with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and disability. Adventure has very much been at the heart of his recovery.

Since first dreaming of learning to kayak as a way in which he could continue to explore the great outdoors, he has gone on to train as part of Great Britain's Paracanoe Team, to pioneer adaptive freediving in the UK, and in 2021, to become the first disabled person to kayak from Land's End in Cornwall to John O' Groats in Scotland – a distance of over 1,400 kilometres.

He has refused to let the word disability define who he is as a person and is committed to helping challenge the perception of what those with a disability can achieve.

On the podcast, we talk about how the last five years have impacted his life and some of the amazing things to come out of it. Don't Forget to Subscribe and Review the Podcast if you have enjoyed it so far. A simple review goes a long way to help the podcast grow and your support means everything.

On the morning of 15 September 2016, with a fresh Gump haircut and a red jacket made by his girlfriend Nadine, Rob set off on the first of 422 days of running in which he traversed the US from Mobile to Santa Monica, onwards to Death Valley and more.

Then on 29 April 2018, the run was over. He’d exhausted 33 pairs of trainers, crossed 43 states and reached the ocean five times. He’d eaten his way through enough hot dogs, ham salad and Dr Pepper to fuel an army. He had covered over 15,000 miles and on the Podcast today has enough stories from his time across America.

The team he took travelled through dense rainforest in unforgiving terrain, so bad that his colleague had to be sent home early. The rainforest is a harsh environment and today on the podcast Harrison Carter tells all about his journey and what his future expeditions may hold.

Isaac Kenyon is an Eco-Adventurer who has cycled the length of the UK with a twist: he cycled on land and used water bikes to cycle across the sea, allowing him to include the Orkney Islands and Isles of Scilly in their journey. It was the first of its kind extended version of the John o' Groats to Land's End cycle. It took him two weeks to complete, cycling up to 100 miles a day and ascending twice the height of Everest.

The team he cycled with was documenting innovative regeneration projects and the degenerating impact of human tourism and urbanisation and, at the same time, exploring the outcomes for their physical and mental health.

On the podcast today, we talk about his adventures and dive into why he started pursuing these sorts of adventures. We talk about mental health and how nature can be the cure.
