Is adventure travel an addictive escape or a vessel for self development? What makes people leave those that they love to take huge risks? Does showing vulnerability make you weak? In these very uncertain times - how do we become strong individuals who can contribute to society? Adventurer and Guinness World record holder Ed Stafford will explore this very concept with a different guest each week. Guests include the remarkable Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Ness Knight and Dwayne Fields.
