102: A Life of Adventure | Rob Lilwall
Show Notes

Rob Lilwall is a National Geographic Adventurer and author. Rob's first expedition was a 35,000 mile bike ride from Siberia to London where he had to survive months of minus 40 degree weather and being knocked off his bike twice. He then deiced to walk from Mongolia to Hong Kong followed by his decision to trek across the Taklamakan (desert of death) by himself. Rob is a true example of an ordinary chap completing extraordinary tasks. Rob made the transition from geography school teacher to international adventurer in order to overcome his fears, lack of confidence and desire to grow up. This is a fast paced episode where Rob describes how he overcame his own imposter syndrome, how having a growth mindset allowed him to learn through adversity and when faced with what initially seemed like an insurmountable problem, he would take a step back and just think and reflect in order to reframe and innovate. Rob definitely hasn't finished his adventures yet but he understands the power of also saying no and how grit, determination and resilience live inside all of us waiting to be unleashed with the right motivation.
