Trained Royal Marines Sniper, world record breaker and extreme TV adventurer, Aldo Kane, is known for his ability to navigate and lead through challenging and pressured environments. With a penchant for the world’s most dangerous, extreme and remote locations, he has compiled his most awe-inspiring tales in his much-anticipated debut book, Lessons From The Edge.
Join Aldo live in conversation, as he shares jaw-dropping stories from his life and career – whether it be abseiling into an erupting volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rowing the Atlantic, getting locked in a bunker for 10 days with zero daylight, or being held at gunpoint...
Aldo will also talk honestly and openly about his personal battles: how he overcame doors literally being slammed in his face, rediscovered his identity, and how he harnessed his emotions to his advantage to find determination, purpose, and a renewed sense of belonging.
Sharing tips on how to survive and thrive through sheer strength of mind and sharp decision-making, you’ll leave feeling entertained, inspired, and ready to be the captain of your own ship.
