49 days, 7 hours and 15 minutes is what it took for Kiko Matthews to break the world record for the fastest female to row the Atlantic solo!

Kiko had a history with Cushing's disease and during her training in 2017 she had to have a life threatening operation to have a tumour removed. Amazingly she was back training a month later and broke the world record just 6 months later.

I had such an interesting chat with Kiko about her challenges, her environmental work and how simplicity has been so key in her life. If you need some inspiration, look no further! Recorded in the UK & New Zealand via Zoom, 2020.
