In this episode, I speak to Neil Pitts, an ‘amateur adventurer' as he likes to call himself’ who embodies the art of working to live. Neil shares his journey of breaking free from a job he hated and finding purpose in pursuing his passions.
He emphasises the importance of embracing change and having a positive attitude. Neil also discusses his experience of battling long COVID and his remarkable trip to ski the length of Norway.
