Record-breaking Arctic explorer and ocean conservationist
Pen Hadow achieved the impossible—trekking solo to the
North Pole. Now, on his 63rd
birthday, he bravely opens up for the first time about
his ADHD diagnosis, reflecting on how it shaped
his risk-taking, resilience, and focus—for better and
worse.

In this chat with Ben, Pen unpacks the puzzling
contradictions of ADHD—being able to laser-focus on
extreme expeditions yet struggling with simple tasks like
taking out the bins. They explore how ADHD made
him one person at work and another at home, its
impact on his family and self-esteem, and why
embracing different ways of thinking is crucial for the future of
our planet.
