In this week’s episode we talk to Nick Butter, a British endurance athlete who reached the full human potential of being the first person to complete 196 marathons in every country in the world. You can read all about Nick’s 11 World Record audacious adventure in ‘Running The World’, running through war zones, being attacked by dogs and running a marathon on a runway on one of the smallest islands in the world. We dive into Nick’s life post 196, where he now opts for a simple life in his converted van on the Cornish coast beside Fistral Beach with his dog Poppy. Nick now gives a lot of his time towards The 196 Foundation and helping others through speaking and impact events. Life is precious, do the things you love and take the leap.
