In this episode, we sit down with ultra-endurance cyclist and world record holder Robbie Ferri, who has conquered more countries on two wheels than anyone before him, having broken two world records. Robbie takes us inside the thrilling, gruelling, and sometimes terrifying world of ultra-distance cycling, sharing stories from the road—moments of pure exhilaration, near disasters, and the mental battles that come with pushing the human body to its limits and the lows experienced after the 'high' of an ultra endurance event.
Beyond the physical challenges, Robbie opens up about his personal struggles with anxiety and depression, revealing how the solitude of the road can be both a place of healing and hardship. We explore the mindset required to keep going when everything tells you to stop, the importance of mental resilience, and how cycling became both an escape and a salvation. He offers ways in how to deal with challenges when everything feels out of control.
Join us for an inspiring and raw conversation about endurance, mental health, and the pursuit of something bigger than ourselves.

In this pilot episode, I sit down with Ellora to discuss how she found herself struggling financially while studying at university. She thought she had found the perfect side gig - easy money for minimal work. But what seemed like a lucky break quickly turned into a nightmare as she realised she was caught in the web of a money laundering scheme.
In this gripping episode Ellora opens up about how she unknowingly fell for the deception, the moment she realised she was in too deep and the consequences that followed.
She shares the lessons learned, the impact it had on her life and what others should look out for to avoid falling into the same trap.
