25 Weeks to Go: Privilege, and the Problem With Being “First”

This week, Hannah and Joel dive headfirst into the messy, often uncomfortable conversation about privilege, purpose, and what it really means to run across a country that’s not your own.They talk openly about the backlash other adventurers have faced, the complexity of Hannah’s family history in India, and how she's still figuring out where she fits in, not just in terms of identity, but in life, legacy, and big, sweaty goals.This episode is about owning imperfection, asking hard questions, and choosing humility in the face of complexity. Whether you’re an adventurer, or just curious about how to approach travel with more care and consciousness.We’re currently raising money to make this expedition possible. EVERY Pound raised on Crowdfunder gets us closer to being able to reach India. Hannah will run 100 marathons in 100 days, covering 4,200 km, to raise £1,000,000 for 1% for the Planet on Givestar.  This journey is a powerful testament to the potential within all of us to make a real difference.Like the Podcast?

Hannah Cox, a sustainability advocate with Indian heritage and a first-time runner, will undertake a life-changing challenge across India, following the historic Inland Customs Line. This colonial-era boundary enforced a devastating salt tax, causing immense suffering and millions of deaths, but has been largely forgotten from history.By retracing this route, Hannah seeks to honour its legacy and transform its meaning, inviting others to discover their own version of extraordinary. This journey is not about guarantees of success—Hannah faces the real possibility of failure—but it’s a powerful reminder that taking bold steps, even in uncertainty, can inspire meaningful change.(You may notice a change in the episode countdown.
