In episode two meet Hannah Mckeand - Polar explorer, adventurer, ocean sailor, entrepreneur and just all out inspirational human.  After life presented her with an opportunity to leave her day job and travel, Hannah took a deep breath and began her incredible adventures.  She ventured to the Western Desert, an area of the Sahara west of the Nile on a mission to find painted caves.  It was during this trip that Hannah found the closest thing to a spitiual connection (without getting religious) in the vast expanse of wilidneress and decided that she simply had to visit the world's greatest wilderness - Antarctica.  During her first group expedition to the frozen continent, Hannah found that her physique allowed her to excel at endurance sports and she quickly went from beginner to a valuable asset to the team.  After joining the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race as a crew member and spending several months out on the ocean, she invested in a high latitude sailing vessel and spend years living aboard in some extremely harsh conditions before deciding that her true passion was pulling a sled across icy terrain.  She has been awarded two Guiness World Records for fastest solo unassisted expedition to the South Pole and the greatest number of trips to the South Pole of any human on the planet.  Hannah was also faced with a serious rescue mission while on a solo trek to the North Pole.

This unstoppable awesome female is now a Polar Consultant, running her own comapny Polar Expedition Training - training and preparing aspiring adventures for trips to the world's most extreme places.  Humble, honest and truly passionate about what she does, Hannah epitomises what it means to make the most of life and shares some valuable insights into getting through the tough times when it would be so easy to quit.  If you ever needed that extra push to start doing what you love to do no matter how scary it may seem - this podcast is for you!!
