Description

In 1979, Chris Donaldson set out from Belfast to ride his Moto Guzzi Le Mans to Australia. He never made it. Instead, he crossed the Middle East, rode through the Sahara, hitched a yacht ride, and ended up in Argentina.


44 years later, he picked up where he left off—riding the same bike across the world. But this time, the obstacles were bigger: age, political unrest, and a Parkinson’s diagnosis.


Beyond adventure, Chris has spent 40 years in business across retail, property, health, and IT. He’s also a best-selling author and a fighter, reclaiming his businesses after banks placed them in receivership.


In this episode, Chris shares:

- The extreme highs and lows of his two-year journey

- How travel shaped his business mindset

- His legal battle to reclaim his company

- Why he refuses to let age or illness slow him down
