  • So worth your time

    So many helpful and insightful conversations that are worth listening to and paying attention to. Matt interviews people that others interview, but I think gets completely different results, which are much deeper and impactful.

  • More than just adventures

    The Adventure Podcast sets the gold standard for what a podcast should be: it consistently delivers brilliant content from fascinating people, and always gives you something unexpected. Matt’s interview style gives his guests the time and space to really open up, so you see a side of them you never would when reading about them in an article or watching them on TV. I came to this series quite late, but have gone back and listened to the entire back-catalogue, and now consider this podcast a frie... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 222: Simon Jeffries, Mindset
Q: What are the three pillars that compose high-level performance, and how do they interact under stress?
The three pillars are physiological regulation (nervous system control, sleep, recovery), mindset (self-talk, narratives, emotional control), and structure (planning, triage, boundaries). They interact by supporting one another: strong structure helps sustain mindset under stress, good physiological regulation reduces emotional volatility, and disciplined mindset makes adherence to structure more likely; neglecting any pillar undermines overall performance.
Episode 220: Peter Wright, A Mid-Life Less Ordinary
Q: How did you battle the psychology during your races?
He learned resilience during tough races and focused on achieving his goals.
Episode 220: Peter Wright, A Mid-Life Less Ordinary
Q: What changed for you to become more active?
Peter discusses relocation to Jersey which inspired him to be active due to witnessing others' enthusiasm for sports.
Episode 218: Adam Weymouth, Lone Wolf
Q: What brings you hope?
The outcome of recent elections and thoughtful political discourse promoting community and migration.
Episode 218: Adam Weymouth, Lone Wolf
Q: What scares you?
Cynicism, because it reflects a loss of hope and a sense of defeat in addressing climate change and other pressing issues.
