10 Most Inspirational Joe Rogan Experience Episodes

10. Ross Edgley #1200

In some ways, it feels like the era of humans achieving incredible feats of strength and endurance is long over.

I mean sure, people are still constantly breaking records such as the 100m and the heaviest deadlift, but think more arbitrarily. During the early part of the 20th-century people were often completing unthinkable feats of human physicality just for the sake of being the first.

In many ways, Ross Edgely is a throwback to those times.

Despite being built like a Greek god, Edgley's endurance is extraordinary, something he proved in 2018 when he became the first person to swim all the way around Great Britain, a feat he discusses at length in his appearance on the podcast.

And that isn't even arguably the most extreme feat the athlete has accomplished. in 2016 he completed a full marathon while pulling a 3000lb car on his back in under 20 hours.

What makes Edgley so inspiring is the ever-positive demeanour in which he approaches his experiences, and how that allows him to maintain the almost unbelievable level of mental fortitude required to succeed in the extreme feats that he attempts.
