From Third Quarter Badass · 49:59

Show by Scott Bluni & Meg Kennedy

Rich Wilson has spent much of his life doing things most people would consider impossible.At 58, he became the oldest skipper to complete the Vendée Globe — the grueling solo, nonstop, unassisted sailing race around the world. Then, at 66, he came back and did it again.In this episode of Third Quarter Badass, Rich talks with Scott and Meg about what draws someone back to one of the toughest challenges in sport, how he prepared physically and mentally for months alone at sea, and what happens when exhaustion, injury, fear, and isolation become part of everyday life.They also explore the bigger questions behind Rich’s remarkable story: how our relationship with risk changes as we age, why experience can sometimes matter more than youth, and what keeps us searching for the next challenge when it would be much easier to stay comfortable.Rich Wilson’s story is a powerful reminder that getting older doesn’t have to mean narrowing the boundaries of what’s possible.Third Quarter Badass celebrates athletes and adventurers who keep pushing, adapting, and pursuing big goals in the third quarter of life.Follow Third Quarter Badass on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you listen.Visit us at www.3qbadass.com or send your questions and comments to [email protected].
