Lucy Black
In this high-energy episode, Lucy sits down with Josh Braid, Ollie Kuehne, and Sam Wood - the unstoppable trio behind the Sea-Summit challenge to unpack their Ironman-worthy journey from sea level to the summit of Kilimanjaro for Kidscape.
From coastal grit to mountain glory, this conversation dives deep into:
- The Challenge: A multi-discipline endurance feat combining swimming, cycling, and trekking across thousands of vertical metres.
- The Route: From the Indian Ocean to the Roof of Africa - tracing the team's path through Tanzania’s wild terrain, remote villages, and relentless climbs.
- The Tasks: Navigating logistics, altitude, and exhaustion while staying mission-focused and impact-driven.
- The Kilometres: Over 500km of physical and mental resilience, culminating in a summit push that tested every limit.
- The Inspiration: Why they are doing it, who for, and how this adventure is sparking new conversations around purpose, perseverance, and legacy.
Expect laughter, honesty, and a few goosebumps as Lucy draws out the heart behind the hustle and explores how extreme challenges can unlock extraordinary impact.
