Show notes

Ray Zahab is a Canadian explorer, long-Distance Runner, author, speaker, and founder of the non-profit organization Impossible2possible. In 2015 he was awarded the Meritorious Service Cross, a decoration awarded to those who have demonstrated an outstanding level of service or set an exemplary standard of achievement to benefit or honor Canada. In 2009, Ray was part of a trio that broke the world speed record for an unsupported expedition to the Geographic South Pole. He was the first to run across the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world. And, famously, in 2007 he was part of an ultrarunning trio that crossed the Sahara Desert in 111 days as documented in the film: Running the Sahara. His accomplishments are many, and the list goes on and on. According to his website, he has journeyed over 17000 Kilometers (over 10,500 miles) on his expeditions around the world. In this interview, Ray claims that the number might be a little low. Enjoy the show! Great Ultralight Backpacking Gear: https://bit.ly/33vLrhW
