419 The Bigger Picture with Ben Stewart
Manage episode 435292515 series 2665435
What would happen if you were to harness the power of Stoicism and incorporate its teachings into your everyday life? In February 2024, personal trainer and sports therapist Ben Stewart undertook a unique fundraising challenge to become the first person to ascend and descend Mount Kilimanjaro backwards. Applying his understanding of Stoicism to help get him through the toughest moments of this mentally and physically demanding challenge, Ben also highlighted the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, having clarity of purpose and understanding how everything connects to the bigger picture.
KEY TAKEAWAY
‘Having that levelling experience of someone telling me it's just another walk, it's just another thing that you're doing to raise money, raise awareness, challenge yourself, and that's really going to lead on to the bigger picture.’
