Life lessons from running through the desert - with Mat Poole

<p>A bit of an unusual episode this week as it was produced in two parts. I interviewed a friend of mine, Mat Poole, a couple of days before he departed for the Sahara desert to take part in the infamous Marathon des Sables.</p> <p> </p> <p>At the start of this episode I share the notes I made during this call with Mat, where I asked him about his hopes and fears, logistics and expectations of the event.</p> <p> </p> <p>Then in the interview itself we find out how it went, and how close to his expectations it came!</p> <p> </p> <p>In a challenge like this there are always lessons to be learned and I was interested to try and extract them in a way that could be useful to you and I in more day to day areas of our lives.</p> <p> </p> <p>Mat was raising money for the charity <a href= "https://walkingwiththewounded.org.uk/">Walking With The Wounded</a> who support mentally, socially and physically wounded veterans.</p> <p> </p> <p>For a few more weeks following the publication of this episode the Just Giving page will be open should you care to donate:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/matp">https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/matp</a></p> <p> </p>
