The DO Lectures is an ideas sharing event run out of an old cowshed in Cardigan Bay, Wales. In this series of DO podcasts, Gav Thompson chats to people about how they have achieved their amazing levels of success, as well as uncovering some of the despites that they have had to overcome to get there.
In Episode 12 of Being Amazing Despite... Gav chats to Roz Savage. Roz is the only woman to have ever rowed single-handedly "around the world". On her own she has rowed 15,000 miles across the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, earning herself 4 Guinness World Records in the process. She is now an accomplished speaker, writer and environmental campaigner and is an ambassador for the new SEEDS financial ecosystem.
This story is about how Roz actually became to be one of the most accomplished ocean rowers in the world. She claims to have only ever been quite good at sport and she says she is by no means a natural rower. Roz's story is one of amazing accomplishment, courage and resilience and how she found happiness and meaning being alone on the oceans. As the world comes out of lockdown, Roz has an interesting perspective on being alone and on solitude.
