Have you ever dreamed of an adventure so immense it makes scaling Everest seem almost common?
Meet Toby Gregory, Founder and Director of the Arabian Ocean Rowing team, who did just that. In this captivating episode, Toby shares the awe-inspiring story of rowing the first UAE-flagged boat 5,000 km across the Atlantic Ocean unsupported and unassisted.
In this episode, published on May 5th, 2023, discover what it truly feels like to face 40-foot waves, battle extreme sleep deprivation, and overcome debilitating sea sickness on a 40-day expedition that fewer people have completed than those who’ve been to space!
Beyond the incredible feat of endurance, Toby’s journey also carried a powerful purpose: to raise awareness for marine pollution with the UN Environment Programme Clean Seas team. Hear how he conceived this monumental idea and continues his advocacy work back in the UAE.
Listen to Toby’s insights on cultivating an unwavering mindset, finding joy in the process, and “winning the day” by focusing on just three key achievements. This story of “courage in motion” offers invaluable lessons for anyone seeking to push their limits.
