Ep. 121: Lloyd Figgins - A Row Across the Atlantic Ocean

After doing 120+ episodes of All Things Risk, it's hard not to have some episodes that completely embody the ethos of the show – to embrace uncertainty. This is one of those episodes. My guest is adventurer, travel risk expert, author and speaker Lloyd Figgins. In 2012, Lloyd and his friend David Whiddon rowed 3,000 nautical miles (~5,000 km) from Morocco to Barbados on a plywood boat. This was an amazing journey involving two years of preparation. We hear all about it from Lloyd – from the idea, the preparation, the journey, and its aftermath. It embraces everything about uncertainty that we love. It is also at once inspiring and filled with practical examples applicable to any endeavour.
