Our latest Inspired Edinburgh guest is James Ketchell.
James, also known as 'Captain Ketch' is an adventurer, motivational speaker and author.
On 1st February 2014 he became the first and only person on the planet to have rowed the Atlantic, summitted Mount Everest and cycled round the world.
In 2015 he published his first book 'The Ultimate Triathalon'. Bear Grylls said of it "As you read James's story, you will begin to believe that you too could achieve the extrordinary".
He's received extensive coverage in the national media and the press and his blogs have appeared in magazines including Men's Health and Sidetracked. He's an ambassador for children's charities Over The Wall and Kindled Spirit as well as The Scouts and he's recently become a fully qualified gyrocopter pilot.
