In this episode, we sit down with the extraordinary Deo Kato, a trail runner, activist, and campaigner, who recently completed an awe-inspiring 8,230-mile run from Cape Town to London. Over 518 days, Deo crossed 20 countries, endured countless challenges from visa issues to physical exhaustion and even imprisonment in South Sudan. His journey was not just a test of endurance but a powerful statement on human migration and racial justice.

Deo shares the inspiration behind his monumental feat: running the historic migration route from Africa to the rest of the world while challenging societal biases such as the "go back to where you came from" rhetoric. He opens up about the logistical hurdles, cultural encounters, and emotional highs and lows that shaped his journey.

Join us for this compelling conversation that celebrates the power of storytelling, endurance, and purpose.

In the face of unprecedented environmental challenges, Project Salt Run aims to inspire action through an extraordinary journey of transformation. Hannah Cox, a sustainability advocate with Indian heritage and a first-time runner, will undertake a life-changing challenge across India, following the historic Inland Customs Line.

This colonial-era boundary enforced a devastating salt tax, causing immense suffering and millions of deaths, but has been largely forgotten from history.
By retracing this route, Hannah seeks to honour its legacy and transform its meaning, inviting others to discover their own version of extraordinary. This journey is not about guarantees of success—Hannah faces the real possibility of failure—but it’s a powerful reminder that taking bold steps, even in uncertainty, can inspire meaningful change.
