Podcasts about pen hadow

Record-breaking Arctic explorer and ocean conservationist Pen Hadow achieved the impossible—trekking solo to the North Pole. Now, on his 63rd birthday, he bravely opens up for the first time about his ADHD diagnosis, reflecting on how it shaped his risk-taking, resilience, and focus—for better and worse.In this chat with Ben, Pen unpacks the puzzling contradictions of ADHD—being able to laser-focus on extreme expeditions yet struggling with simple tasks like taking out the bins. They explore how ADHD made him one person at work and another at home, its impact on his family and self-esteem, and why embracing different ways of thinking is crucial for the future of our planet.___________On "The Hidden 20%," host Ben Branson chats with neurodivergent [ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's etc.] creatives, entrepreneurs, and experts to see how great minds.. think differently.

Pen Hadow is a British explorer and ocean conservationist whose commitment to protecting the wildlife and floating ice-reef ecosystem of the North Pole's international waters has pushed the boundaries of human endeavour, polar exploration, and global engagement on sustainability. He undertook an iconic solo trek on foot from Canada to the North Pole which has never been repeated.Hadow founded 90 North Foundation, an organisation exclusively dedicated to protecting the Arctic, working in association with the non-governmental programme Arctic Mission.A few days before the COP15 biodiversity conference concluded with a historic agreement to protect 30% of land and water by 2030, our host, Basil Demeroutis, interviewed Pen about the need to address biodiversity loss now rather than later. And the potential for the property sector to lead by example.Tune in to discover:- How determination and resilience pushed Pen beyond his limits while walking – and swimming – unsupported, solo, from Canada to the North Pole- Why biodiversity loss in the Arctic has a direct impact on life in cities around the world, including on the value of property investments- What could happen if we lose sea ice, the ‘refrigeration unit' for the northern hemisphere- How the global economy and global ecosystems are interlinked- Why biodiversity should be a bigger focus of companies' ESG efforts- What 90 North Foundation is doing to create the largest global reserve for the international - waters that surround the North PoleSelected links from the episode:90 North Foundation: https://www.90northfoundation.org/Current state of sea ice cover: https://earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/cryo/data/current-state-sea-ice-coverWhat is an Arctic Habitat?: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/teaching-wiki/arctic-habitat#:~:text=support%20your%20teaching.-,What%20is%20an%20Arctic%20habitat%3F,%2C%20Finland%2C%20Norway%20and%20Greenland.Ecosystem services: https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Understanding-Conservation/Ecosystem-ServicesPen Hadow: What he saw in the Arctic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5teF3gUfqekCop15: historic deal to halt biodiversity loss by 2030: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/19/cop15-historic-deal-signed-to-halt-biodiversity-loss-by-2030-aoeUN Report: Nature decline in numbers: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2019/05/nature-decline-unprecedented-report/Connect with Pen Hadow:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penhadow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/penhadow?lang=en-GBWebsite: https://www.90northfoundation.org/We'd love to hear your thoughts on these topics.

In this special Planet Pod episode Amanda catches up with renowned arctic explorer, advocate and visionary Pen Hadow who talks about what inspired him to push the boundaries of exploration in the arctic region.Pen describes the disturbing truth of what he has seen with his own eyes - the gradual destruction of what he calls the "floating ice reef ecosystem" of the arctic.  He highlights the vulnerability of an entire habitat from unchecked commercial fishing, international shipping and mineral extraction in the region.Pen then gives a call to action for all of us to tackle climate change and highlights the important international advocacy work of the 90o North Unit.The 90ºNorth Unit, founded by Pen, is the only organisation exclusively dedicated to protecting the wildlife and floating ice-reef ecosystem in the Arctic Ocean's international waters. The Unit is catalysing the conservation process within the United Nations to create the world's largest protected marine area by 2032.Many thanks to Charles Russell Speechlys for hosting this podcast Links:90º North UnitPen HaddowTwitter: @penhadow    @ArcticMission See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Pen Hadow is one of the world’s leading explorers. In 2003 Pen Hadow became the first person to trek solo, and without resupply, across the Arctic Ocean’s sea ice from Canada to the North Geographic Pole – a feat that has never been repeated. But of the 850 hours spent hauling his sledge, over 30 hours were in the water. It led to a revelation that big environmental changes were taking place. The sea ice cover, previously in effect creating a protected marine reserve, was now receding. With it, the habitat was going, one that provides to a unique ecosystem that includes some of the largest, the longest-living, best-loved, and the least-researched animals on Earth. Pen reflects on the significant discoveries made by Arctic Mission last summer, and encourages all who listen to consider that exploration has never been more important or urgent in human history, if we are to live sustainably. Previously this series of talks was under the branding of Intrepid Explorers Exeter

#238. Friend of the podcast Erik de Jong joins the show for the 4th time. Originally from Holland and trained as a naval architect, Erik eventually built his own steel boat Bagheera in his backyard and sailed it to Nova Scotia, where he relocated, spending winters designing ships and summers sailing to Greenland. He’s since completed the Northwest Passage and relocated himself and Bagheera to Alaska, where he now runs expedition charters and scientific voyages in the North. Erik & I spoke about his most recent ‘Arctic Mission’ expedition alongside adventurer Pen Hadow to sail north into the Arctic Ocean to research climate change and sea ice retreat. On the Wind is presented by Rutgerson Marin. And also supported by Adlard Coles, and BRNKL Systems.

In this episode, we cover our week long trip sailing the middle Florida Keys from Marathon to the Content Keys.  We have some more sailing / cruising news and our featured product will help you deal with smells from the head. Intro Chat We had such great plans to get some more shows out this summer, but work and other responsibilities continue to eat up our time.  Steve has been dealing with lots of rental property challenges, good for future cruising kitty, but these hands on investments take a lot of time. Hopefully, we will be good for a while after September 1st and we can go somewhere on the boat for the labor day holiday weekend. We have been able to get out on two trips since our last podcast.  We spent a weekend in West Palm Beach that we will cover in a future show and we joined all our friends at a local lake event called Adult Summer Games, check out the video here of the 2016 event. Steve has been working on lots of boat projects, we got behind from buying and setting up the house.  Most of the work in standard maintenance like changing the gear and motor oil in our Honda 50 outboard.   We did have a mildew problem on the boat that is likely due to the new location at the house.  It is up against our shed and the circulation is not as good as it was in storage.  We also discovered a leak in the deck fitting for the mast light attachment and replaced the fitting, so hopefully we fixed it.  Since our MacGregor 26M has a deck stepped mast , we plug the mast light into a deck fitting and the old one that came with the boat was missing the cap.  We cleaned the inside of the boat with vinegar and placed a fan that runs continually. Cruising the Middle Florida Keys We left on Saturday 10/29 and trailered the boat from Orlando down to Homestead, FL.  The drive drown to Marathon is about 350 miles from Orlando, so we decided to stay at a Southern Comfort RV Resort in Homestead to break up the trip.   We had never taken the boat to a campground and it was a fun stop.  They have a Tiki Bar in the campground and we went to their Halloween party that night. On Sunday, stopped at the Lorelei Cabana Bar to meet  up with some listeners, Stefan and Andrea.  That afternoon we launched from a private boat ramp off on Avenue I off Coco Plum in the Key Colony area.    It was storming, so we anchored nearby in Coco Plum bay. Monday the weather cleared up but it was still blowing 15-20kn.  We headed eight miles down to Boot Key Harbor.   We entered through Sisters Creek.   We grabbed a mooring ball from the Marathon City Marina for $22 a night. Tuesday morning we rowed a few boats over and met with with Carolyn Shearlock from the Boat Galley cookbook and website.   Her and her husband Dave live on a Gemini 105 catamaran and it was great to chat with them about the cruising life. Tuesday afternoon we had a great sail 12 miles to Bahia Honda State Park.  We planned to anchor between the bridges just south of the park but it was rolly so we went into their harbor and tied up to the seawall for the night.  $2/ft includes water and electric.   We also used their outdoor showers to rinse off.   The only other boat in the harbor was another trailer sailor, a West Rite Potter 19 owned by Don and Carmen who end up living just twenty minutes from us near Orlando.  We met up for a couple drinks sitting their cockpit that night.  Wednesday morning we dropped the mast to get under the US1 bridge and motored 4 miles to Little Pine key.   We anchored just offshore and had a great day relaxing the sun and snorkeling around the boat.   Thursday we sailed over to the Content Keys,  it is a shallow area everywhere except the channel, but the water is beautiful.   It was too shallow to anchor at the Content Keys so we moved over Crane Key for the night. Friday we started to head back to Marathon.  We sailed the 12 miles down through the Niles channel between Summerland Key and Ramrod Key.  We also stopped at a great snorkeling spot off Newfound Harbor Key.  They have several mooring balls on the reef. We decided to grab a slip in Marathon so we could sit see around town.  We found a spot at Burdines Marina for $3.50/ft  They have nice facilities and a great restaurant on site. We spent Saturday and Sunday touring Marathon's site, Tiki Bars and live music.  We had a great tour at the Turtle Hospital.   Great meals, drinks and music at Castaways, Porkys Bayside, Sunset Grill (drinks in the pool!), Faro Blanco Resort (Fancy!), and the Brass Monkey (not so fancy, but great live late night music by Freddie Dye and his band. Monday we motored back to the ramp into the wind through really rough seas and made the 350 mile drive home. Total trip cost about $1000 for 10 days, eight nights on water, one camping on land.  Truck and boat gas was $260, Docking, Campground and truck/trailer storage was $600.  $25 in Ice and $120 for trailer and tire storage. Sailing & Cruising News Cruiser discovers she is pregnant while sailing across the Pacific - She has to deal with finding medical care in remote places and does just fine.  Her boyfriend also finds a creative way to propose. UK island brewery ships beer to mainland by sailboat - Ales of Scilly on St Mary's island started shipping their beer to the mainland by 18th century privateer sail boat.  Check out the sailboat it is beautiful! 70 year old sets record for oldest to sail around the world via the five great capes.  Congratulations Jeff Heartjoy!  Showing us all that we are never to old to follow your dreams. Pen Hadow is leading a team that is attempting the be the first to sail all the way to the North Pole.  The ice pack may melt enough for them to get close this year. Featured Product Bathroom / Head odors on the boat can be overwhelming in such a small space.  We found this great odor eliminator that makes the smell much more bearable.   Brandy says it reminds her of a nursing home, but the fresh scent really does quickly eliminate the odors.  We liked it so much that we also bought a bottle for home.  It only takes one spray to cover the odor so the bottle will last a long time.  With only monthly use on our boat, it will probably last for years!

Pen Hadow (@PenHadow) is an explorer and world record holder. He is the only person to trek solo, without resupply by third parties, from Canada to the North Geographic Pole. His remarkable feat, in 2003 has not been repeated since and some argue it is comparable in difficulty to making the first ascent of Everest, solo and without oxygen. Within months of completing the North Pole expedition Pen went on to become the only Briton to have trekked, without resupply, to both the North and South Geographic Poles. In 2009, he formed Geo Mission, a pioneering environmental sponsorship organisation, which delivered the multi-award winning series of Catlin Arctic Surveys (2009-2011) investigating the rates, causes and global impacts of the fast-disappearing Arctic sea ice. In the podcast we talk about Pen’s expeditions, world records, the concept of luck, physical and psychological challenges, setbacks, failure, pressure, mindset management and global warming.

In our final interview with record-breaking polar explorer Pen Hadow we discuss: How Pen's life changed when he returned home after his record-breaking feat. What his achievements taught him with regards to the need for work/life balance. How 'Maximising one's Potential' is all within the mind. The model Pen applies in his own life to continue challenging himself. As with our previous interviews, Pen speaks with an openness and honesty that really enables you to visualise the sheer extremities of the challenge that he successfully undertook. This interview is for you if you really want to maximise your own potential as it will give you a firsthand account of how someone has come up against some of the greatest physical and mental challenges to man and pushed on through them, when everyone else had failed. He kept on going past the point where every other person had decided to give up - and as a result, claimed his place in the history books.

In this interview with record-breaking polar explorer Pen Hadow we discuss: Pen's successful trek to the North Pole, solo and without re-supply, where he made history by becoming the first (and only) person to do so. How he had to dig deeper into his mental and physical resources than he had ever done so before How it felt to finally achieve the goal that had consumed him for most of his adult life.

This is our second interview with record-breaking polar explorer Pen Hadow where he discusses: how his desire to constantly challenge himself, even as a child, had - and still has - a massive bearing on his life also how it made him accustomed to being totally out of his comfort zone AND gave him the inner belief that ANYTHING is possible. Despite two unsuccessful attempts to reach the Pole, learn what Pen learned from the experiences and how it improved his mental toughness and strategic thinking capacity - crucial for all of us, where ever we are!

Pen Hadow became the first man in the world to walk unsupported and without re-supply to the North Pole in 2003 - a feat which many have tried to emulate and all have failed. To this day, it is his name alone that is in the record books for completing this incredible journey, which has been compared to 'climbing Everest without oxygen.' We are fortunate to have recorded a series of interviews with Pen, the first of which is attached to this article / blog post. It focuses on how Pen has trained himself to deal with 'Failure.' The reason he spoke about this subject in such detail is that he personally has had to deal with so much failure (or temporary set-backs as he refers to them) in his own life (through the numerous unsuccessful attempts he made to the North Pole, as well as set-backs with sponsorship, equipments and so on). As a result he needed to learn to how equip himself to deal with failure in a positive manner - in a way that would not affect him from moving on towards his goals. Pen also has witnessed over the years, in his personal life, exploration and in business, how most individuals are unprepared for the onset of failure and how they so often are unable to move beyond it and as a result do not reach their goals.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the explorer Pen Hadow. Pen Hadow made polar history in 2003 by becoming the first man to walk solo and unsupported the 478 miles from the northern coast of Canada to the North Pole. It was the culmination of a death-bed pledge. He had made a commitment immediately after his father's death that he would prove the family name by succeeding in the challenge - described by Sir Ranulph Fiennes as the "greatest endurance feat left on earth". He made two unsuccessful attempts at the ordeal before succeeding in May last year.He turned to exploring in his late 20s, but had already shown himself to be a daredevil foolhardy, determined and physically strong. At prep school he learnt the importance of training and practice to develop greater athleticism and, at Harrow, he successfully ran 'The Long Ducker' - a marathon from Harrow, taking in Marble Arch and Little Venice - that hadn't been attempted for 50 years. After university, he spent four years working at the sports agency IMG and ended up by chance on a 70-day trek photographing polar bears, and the thought struck him that, with organisation, training and determination, in the same length of time he could trek to the North Pole.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Piano Concerto No 2 in B Flat Major by Johannes Brahms Book: The Oxford Book of English Verse by Chirstopher Ricks Luxury: A six inch nail
