Jimi Hunt is a mental fitness advocate. It’s a role he fell into after experiencing poor mental health and having a rock bottom moment.
His passion is sharing his lessons on resilience, growth and navigating adversity.
He is the founder of an organization called Live More Awesome and has done some huge attention-grabbing stunts to get the conversation started about mental fitness- like building the worlds largest waterslide, walking the length of New Zealand and even paddling the length of the Waikato River on an inflatable Lilo.
In this conversation, Jimi open’s up about the tools that helped him survive his toughest days, and why asking for help is the bravest step anyone can take.
This is Jimi's story. But there are tools in here that we can all use to live happier healthier lives.
It’s a conversation about connection, compassion, and finding meaning through adversity.
I hope you like it. And if you know someone who you think could benefit from listening to it, please share it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
