b"We chat with Nick Butter about life as an Adventurer, Speaker, Writer and Running addict. Nick is best known for being the first person to run a marathon in every country in the world, as well as many other feats of endurance counting nearly 100 Ultra Marathons, 828 marathons and over 45,000 Miles among them. Having developed a love for running from a very early age, Nick always kept his passion burning in the background attending running events and competitions, even whilst he started down the normal everyday path of getting a 9-5 job, a mortgage etc, however Nick came to realise that he didn't want to sit in an office everyday, he wanted to do something different, and what a life and career he has built for himself. We chat about the realities of the relativley safe route through life Vs what is takes to follow your passion, from self doubt to loosing the security of a regular pay-check on one hand to the excitement and potential to build a life on your own terms on the other, there are positives and negatives to both paths, if your thinking about turning your passion into a career or just want more out of life take a listen to Nick, super motivating."
