E040 Environmental Activist is First Woman to Row Solo Across 3 Oceans – Roz Savage



Roz Savage is an environmental activist, author, world renowned speaker, a lecturer at Yale and is an Ocean Rower with 4 Guinness World Records but what makes her story even more remarkable is that she once had a seemingly normal life. Roz is from England and into her 30’s she was living a life of materialism chasing the big house and big money as a management consultant but she quit it all to pursue a life with purpose.

Now, she is the first woman to row solo across 3 oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans and she did it in a 23 foot rowboat. in 2010 she was named Adventurer of the Year by National Geographic.

We talk about endurance, perseverance, minimalism, facing death and letting go of a materialistic life and mindset to transcend self-imposed limits and build a platform for environmental activism.

She’s now a lecturer at Yale University teaching a course titled: Courage in Theory & Practice.
