Description:

Paralympian and TV presenter Ade Adepitan (now an honorary Scotsman according to Gordon!) reflects on his life and career. Particularly on his surreal experience of visiting an all-white South-African community of Orania for a documentary, and the life-affirming, outlook-changing feat of spending nearly seven hours crawling to the peak of live volcano in Nicaragua.

The pair also get into the rise of extremism, the difficulties that come with navigating hostile environments, and how Ade’s background in elite sport helps him find focus when his anger rises in some of these environments.

Ade also touched on his love for ‘home from home’ Edinburgh, the pros and cons of considering a career in politics, and the power of accepting who you are.
