#33 - Laura Try - Less Things, More Experiences

In this episode, I’m talking to Laura Try, a business founder who left it all behind to become an extreme adventurer. Having owned a beauty salon for nine years, Laura made the decision, aged 29, that her values no longer served her, and she wanted something different. Very different. The hunger for experiences and challenge meant firstly entering multi-day adventure races, then rowing 1,800 miles around Great Britain and, most recently, an attempt to be the fastest women’s boat rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean. In our conversation, Laura discusses  - What she means by Type-2 fun, - How you get around different personalities in a boat race, - And what she learned from trying to ignite a Bow Drill fire.
