"I turned Everest Into a 13,000km Triathlon" - Mitch Hutchcraft on being Limitless

from Project Possible with Rich Leigh · host Rich Leigh - interviews about motivation, resilience and what's truly possible

In this episode, I sit down with record-breaking endurance adventurer, former Royal Marine and author Mitch Hutchcraft.Last year, Mitch completed a world-first 13,000 kilometre journey from the English Channel to the summit of Mount Everest.Allow me to break the absurdity of that down for you:He swam the Channel. He cycled across 18 countries. He ran hundreds of kilometres through India, and then - and only then - did he climb the highest mountain on Earth.We talk about ADHD, grief, losing his dad at 20 - and the promise Mitch made to him, the mindset behind extreme endurance, and why he believes most people massively underestimate what they’re capable of.This is a conversation about possibility, purpose, suffering, discipline, and redefining what “impossible” truly means.If you enjoy this conversation, please subscribe wherever you watched or listened.=====Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life. I realised that I needed to run towards passion and purpose, and my dream of sharing positivity and possibility as a career - this podcast is my effort to do just that.
