Business Lives | Explorer Ash Dykes Talks Motivation and Walking Asia's Longest River

On Business Lives today, we have the explorer & extreme athlete Ash Dykes.

In 2014, when he was 23 years old, Ash became the first person to walk across Mongolia solo, covering 1,500 miles in 78 days.

The Welsh explorer is now planning his most adventurous trip yet, by becoming the first person to walk length of Yangtze River in China, the third longest river in the world.

The trip will take one year, and will see Ash travel almost 4,000 miles from the source of the Yangtze in the Tibetan plateau - the highest source of any major river - all the way to Shanghai.

In one of the last interviews before he goes on his trip, Ash speaks with Vox Markets about his career, the toughest challenges he has faced, and how he plans to use social media to make his adventure "the most interactive expedition ever".
