#2.13 Why I Started We Are Explorers (After Riding from England to Australia)

We Are Explorers Podcast

This week we turn inward and throw the host in the hot seat to find out why Henry Brydon started We Are Explorers.
In 2010 Henry quit his corporate job in search of something more. That something more ended up being a two year cycling trip across the globe, some 35,000 km from London to Sydney.
After the journey of a lifetime Henry found himself rather unsettled sitting once again in an office chair, right back where he started, yearning for some adventure.
In this chat we cover:

• Who is Henry Brydon
• The decision to embark on a cycling trip
• Fates collide - meeting his cycling partner Jamie
• The route
• Sketchy moments
• Arriving in Australia
• 6 o'clock club
• Turning We Are Explorers into a business
• Values
