In this episode, Grant Schofield sits down with ocean swimmer and
activist Jono Ridler, fresh off an extraordinary feat: swimming
just shy of 1,400km from North Cape to Wellington in just 90
days.

Jono shares what drove him to take on the swim, the physical and
mental toll of months in open water, and the deeper mission
behind it: raising awareness of what's happening beneath the
surface of our oceans, including the impact of bottom trawling on
fragile deep sea ecosystems. He talks candidly about training
while working full time and raising a young daughter, navigating
shark encounters, adapting to dropping water temperatures, and
the injuries and setbacks along the way.
