When I first came up with the concept for Success on the South Coast, I was determined to shine a light on people from a wide variety of backgrounds from the arts, business & community projects. However, it never crossed my mind that I would meet someone like James Benson-King, my guest for episode #10 (a very special milestone!). James is an Explorer & Adventurer who goes by the name of ‘The Biking Viking’ for his endurance cycling challenges.  Having completed a 20,000 mile cycle tour from Alaska to Argentina, James is taking it to the next level for his next adventure: he plans to be the first human to cycle across Antarctica (yes, cycle… on an actual bike!) In this fantastic conversation, James shares amazing stories from his escapades: cycling 500 miles with one leg, evading Narco’s in Mexico & supporting a world record breaking hand-biker in India. James is also a “resilience cultivator”, content creator and event speaker who is on a mission “to inspire and empower others to embrace adventure, push their limits and pursue their dreams”, so look out for advice on how to cultivate your own resilience, push through challenges and pursue your own dreams. - - - KEY TOPICS OF THE CONVERSATION - - - In this episode we discuss: • James early days, childhood heart condition and successful corporate career • His transformation into 'the Biking Viking' • Stories from his 20,000 mile cycle tour from Alaska to Argentina • How to overcome mental & physical challenges… and how James cycled over 500 miles across Mexico with one leg! • Inspiration to help others pursue their own dreams • James’s (double!) world record-breaking plans to be the first human to cycle across Antarctica • James’s view on the meaning of true Happiness & Success - - - CHAPTERS - - - 00:00:00 - Intro ("A sunny new podcast...") 00:00:26 - Guest Intro 00:01:56 - Welcome…  00:02:24 - James's origin story: his corporate career and early success 00:06:16 - Sliding Doors moment - meeting a cycle tourer in Myanmar 00:09:35 - James's  early years & first taste of adventure 00:12:20 - Alaska to Argentina: 20,000 mile cycling adventure 00:14:07 - Alaska to Argentina: the route 00:15:15 - Resilience and the importance of community 00:16:03 - Transforming into 'the Biking Viking' 00:19:00 - Alaska to Argentina: Mental preparation 00:22:21 - Alaska to Argentina: Key challenges 00:22:59 - Cycling 500 miles on one leg in Mexico 00:27:07 - Dealing with 60mph winds in Southern Patagonia (Argentina) 00:32:13 - Alaska to Argentina: Key lessons 00:32:36 - Pre-trip preparation: Flicking the Switch 00:34:19 - Keep pushing forward: Just do what you can do! 00:36:00 - Motivation: 'Cardiac Risk in the Young' charity 00:37:58 - Alaska to Argentina: Importance of biking community 00:41:01 - Skills for Success: Determination 00:44:04 - Unlock your potential: Advice to help others pursue their dreams… 00:46:31 - Alaska to Argentina: completing the journey un-supported 00:47:41 - Skills for Success: Managing the logistics 00:49:58 - Personal safety & navigating danger in South America 00:51:34 - Narco HQ & military lockdown following the capture of El Chapo's son 00:57:37 - Genuine danger in Belize: random acts of violence 01:01:13 - Another adventure: supporting a Hand Biking world record attempt in India 01:05:28 - Antarctica: "a transformative experience" 01:06:04 - Skills for Success: Forgiving yourself 01:08:10 - Next BIG project: world record-breaking plans to be the first human to cycle across Antarctica 01:14:17 - Antarctica: preparation for a next-level adventure.. 01:17:10 - Antarctica: content creation & promo 01:18:01 - Antarctica: sponsorship & fund-raising 01:19:47 - Can individuals cultivate grit or resilience? 01:22:41 - Tools & techniques to help cultivate resilience 01:25:06 - How James's experiences benefit individuals & organisations? 01:27:26 - What is happiness? 01:29:11 - Gratitude & enjoying the journey 01:31:30 - Juggling relationships with globe-trotting adventures 01:33:41 - What is success? 01:35:55 - Life by Misadventure - learn to forgive yourself 01:37:55 - Thank you, guest links & wrap-up   GUEST Links: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-benson-king-8a186285 • Website: https://www.bikingvikingrides.co.uk • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bikingvikingrides • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bikingvikingrides SUCCESS ON THE SOUTH COAST Links: YouTube is our primary platform, but Success on the South Coast is also available on all your favourite streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc)! • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@successonthesouthcoast • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3xo4ByqAqUlp7UHYOeBjWM • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-on-the-south-coast/id1760075408 • YouTube Music/Podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCOvHz8DkSa5PSX5yKCMCmHffqzMjYz-K • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/successonthesouthcoast • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/successonthesouthcoast • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/success-on-the-south-coast #TheBikingViking #CycleTouring #AlaskaToArgentina #Antarctica #Grit #Resilience #ResilienceCultivator #Positivity #SuccessOnTheSouthCoast #SotSC #SouthCoastSuperstar #Happiness #Success #UnlockYourPotential #PursueYourDreams   INTRO MUSIC: 'Generator' by CALL ME ANIMAL.  If you like the sound of it, check out 'Arron Sans' (the singer/songwriter) at https://www.arronsans.com or https://www.instagram.com/arronsans.

When I came up with the concept for Success on the South Coast, Simone Ippolito was the first name on my wishlist of guests. I first came across his name when I read an article in the local paper about the inaugural meeting of ‘Bring Community Power’.
