In this compelling episode of the Strategy, Leadership & Impact podcast, Blake Repine sits down with adventurer, author, and motivational speaker Luke Richmond, the force behind OLOC Adventures (https://www.olocadventures.com/). From surviving addiction to rowing oceans, climbing the world's highest peaks, and crossing the Gobi Desert, Luke shares the mindset, grit, and strategy it takes to push beyond physical and mental limits.
Blake and Luke explore how extreme adventure shapes resilience, decision-making, and personal leadership. They discuss the parallels between leading in high-risk environments—whether in the boardroom or on a mountain—and how embracing discomfort can unlock purpose and performance. Luke also reflects on his military background, the importance of discipline, and how his philosophy of “One Life, One Chance” guides everything he does.
Whether you're leading a team, transforming an organisation, or facing a personal challenge, this episode offers raw insights and practical lessons on courage, clarity, and commitment.
