About this Episode
SPECIAL GUEST
Since joining AO, Ben has completed a number of physical and mental challenges that have pushed him to the absolute limit. Today, he draws on that experience to help others become more proactive and develop a ‘can-do’ attitude. In this episode we discuss mental resilience, training for a triathlon, what it’s like working for AO, and why climbing the highest Mountain in North Africa changed his life forever.
