Sir Ranulph Fiennes describes Jordan Wylie as a determined, fearless adventurer and an inspiring man. A former soldier, best selling author, extreme adventurer and one of the stars of the award-winning TV shows Hunted and Celebrity Hunted, his expeditions - including a staggering number of world firsts - have raised more than £1m for charity.

Having achieved two world records, 10 years of military service, one unfathomably difficult climb of Mount Kilimanjaro and years of tireless campaigning to remove the stigma around mental illness, this episode of Extrology uncovers the incredible mindset behind a man who truly lives by the mantra: Be the difference that makes a difference.

Lee and Jordan discuss:

  • The streetwise skills Jordan learned in his early years
  • Military service as a levelling experience
  • Disparity between military mentality and private sector businesses
  • Jordan’s entry point to maritime security and dealing with Somali pirates unarmed
  • Embarking on world record breaking expeditions as a charitable force of good
  • Raising awareness of the stigma around mental health and mental illness
