Most people never find out where their limits are. The guests on this page went looking. London Real has interviewed polar explorers, mountaineers, ocean rowers, free climbers, a jetpack pilot, an astronaut and a surgeon who works in disaster zones. Brian Rose asks why they go, how they prepare, what fear feels like at the edge and what they bring home. These are stories of risk, endurance and curiosity. Every full interview is free to watch.
From astronaut Chris Hadfield and polar explorer Colin O’Brady to free climber Alain Robert, Free Solo filmmaker Jimmy Chin, Jetman Yves Rossy, BBC Tribe presenter Bruce Parry and Everest climber James Ketchell: why some people need to go further.
