#341: Jonny Huntington - Disabled Polar Explorer Defying the Odds

Join us as we dive into the extraordinary journey of Jonny Huntington, an elite endurance athlete, former British Army Officer, and inspiring figure within the disabled community. After surviving a brain bleed that left him with left-sided paralysis, Jonny has never stopped pushing boundaries—both his own and those set by society.

This November, Jonny embarks on a world-first expedition to the South Pole, aiming to become the first disabled person to reach this frozen frontier solo and unsupported. Skiing over 900 kilometers through temperatures as low as -40°C, Jonny's journey will be one of resilience, strength, and self-belief.

Beyond this ambitious feat, Jonny has also competed for Great Britain as a para cross-country skier, become a sport scientist and performance coach, and now serves as a motivational speaker on topics like Maximising Human Potential and the Power of Self-Belief. With each challenge he undertakes, Jonny defies conventional limits and advocates for greater representation of neurodiverse and disabled individuals.

Tune in to hear Jonny’s inspiring story of triumph, his preparations for the South Pole, and his insights into human potential. His journey is more than just an adventure—it's a powerful message that anything is possible with the right mindset.
