Simon shares his experience of being diagnosed with ADHD later in life and how he has transformed this into a source of strength through ultra-endurance marathon running. The discussion delves into his new documentary 'Beyond Limits: Into the ADHD Mind,' which captures his participation in the Marathon Des Sables—one of the toughest races on Earth—while addressing ADHD and mental health stigmas.
