Scott Donaldson: The First Man To Solo Kayak From Aus To NZ!

Scott Donaldson is the first person to kayak solo across the Tasman Sea- a 2,200km journey from Australia to New Zealand that took 62 days at sea.

After two failed attempts, countless setbacks, and years of preparation, Scott finally achieved his goal in 2018.

Scott’s accomplishment is a huge physical feat, but his journey is also an exploration of the mind, of what it means to push human limits, and of how resilience can be both born and built.

Strap yourself in because this podcast is one hell of a ride!

Scott opens up about everything from mental health and meditation, to reprogramming his mind after returning to normal life.

He shares practical insights on risk management, emotional stability, endurance, and what happens when you spend weeks completely alone, with only the sea, the sky, and your own thoughts for company.

This is a story of resilience, risk, preparation, and mental toughness.
