365: World's 1st Disabled Skier to the South Pole - Jonny Huntington

🎙️ Jonny Huntington's World's 1st Disabled Skier to the South Pole❄️

In this episode, we look back on an extraordinary feat of human endurance and resilience. In November 2024, Jonny Huntington made history by becoming the first disabled person to reach the South Pole solo and unsupported. Skiing over 900 kilometers through brutal temperatures dipping to –40°C, Jonny joined an elite group of only 51 people in history who’ve completed this kind of expedition.

A former athlete and keynote speaker on Maximising Human Performance and the Power of Self Belief, Jonny’s journey to the pole was more than just physical—it was a powerful testament to mental strength. After surviving a brain bleed that left him paralyzed on his left side from the neck down, he refused to be defined by his limitations.

Tune in to hear how Jonny pushed beyond the impossible and rewrote what it means to overcome. This is not just an expedition story—it’s a masterclass in grit and belief. 🏔️

👉 Tune in now to be inspired by one of the most powerful stories of human determination.
