Description

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, we sit down with endurance athlete Russ Cook (aka The Hardest Geezer) and co-founder Alex Taylor to unpack their bold new venture: Hardest Adventures.


From running the length of Africa to launching the world’s first creator-led media and adventure company, Russ and Alex share the story behind the movement they’re building, one that combines real-world challenges, storytelling, and community to help people reconnect with their bodies, their purpose, and the planet.

We explore:


  • The origin story of Hardest Adventures
  • How they're merging media, mission and travel into a new business model
  • What it means to truly “make life matter”
  • Their plans to scale impact through free brand-funded expeditions
  • And their current £250,000 raise via Blue Earth Ventures


Plus, find out how you can pitch your own bold expedition live at Blue Earth Summit 2025.


🎧 Honest, energising, and full of practical insights, this is one for anyone building something meaningful from the ground up.
