Currently bed-ridden with some shitty flu thing - couldn’t even manage quarter of a bacon sarnie earlier - WTF.  Opted to listen to a BBC article about John Muir, the Scotsman who founded the US National Parks Service.

A very short but inspiringly insightful look at his harsh upbringing and ‘machine room’ accident before embarking on what would become a quest of epic proportions.   Gonna listen and read more about him and other explorers.

People can be amazing.

Who have you inadvertently learned about and found awesome in some way?

John Ameachi. ‘Discovered’ him on the (excellent) unfiltered podcast with James O’brien. Fascinating Guy.

Can say I only know John Amaechi from those above.   Think I remember him coming out.

Bit of a theme with your top 3 there Rachel.

Amelia Boone

Leonard Cheshire VC. (I knew about the war stuff. Totally eclipsed in my opinion by what I found he did afterwards.)
