Ever felt like you wanted to make a massive career change? Quit the 9-5 and do the seemingly impossible thing of following your passions? Guest Jo Bradshaw proves that it IS indeed possible. Jo used to work in an office as a Business Advisor, but a sky dive and a bike ride were the triggers for Jo's life to take a different pathway. She has spent the past decade and a half working as a Freelance Expedition Leader and Outdoor Ed Instructor. She's done nearly 40 ascents of Kilimanjaro, she's undertaking the 7 summits and she even has a few triathlon plans for this year.You'll hear:10:00 Jo on her plans to do a Middle Distance triathlon in 2023 and why she's planning on changing her work around for 2023.

"It wasn't really until I hit my 30s and swapped the world of business for the world of adventure."
