#004: Dean Stott - Riding The Longest Road In The World (99 Days)

Today I am joined by Dean Stott. Dean Stott is like the real life Rambo. He had a very impressive 16 year career in the military for the UK where he was on the Special Boat Service (SBS). This is like the seal team 6 for the United Kingdom. An injury caused him to leave the special forces and then he went into the private security sector where he and his team have been responsible for a number of hostage rescues. Now what initially drew me to Dean was that he broke 2 world records cycling the longest highway in the world. He completed the Pan American highway which is 14,000 miles in 99 days, 12 hours and 56 minutes, breaking the record by 17 days.In This Episode We Discuss…Why Dean dropped out of collegeWhy Dean decided to join the militaryTransitioning from the military to being a civilian“Anticipation is worse than participation.”How the idea to ride the Pan American Highway came to DeanHow Dean trained for the world record attemptDean’s daily routine while cycling the Pan American HighwayHow many calories per day Dean was consumingWho was on Dean’s crew during the rideDean’s biggest piece of advice for someone attempting to break a world recordYou can find Dean Stott here…Website - https://www.deanstott.com/Instagram - @deanstott (https://www.instagram.com/deanstott/)Twitter - @DeanstottSBS (https://x.com/deanstottsbs)
