Send White Fox Talking a Message
Holly Budge is an Everest summiteer, world record adventurer, the first woman to skydive Everest, a passionate conservationist & inspirational keynote speaker.
She has the ability to push herself out of her comfort zone, and is able to rationalise when her body is screaming “NO” but her mind is whispering “yes”! She has been described as “one of the most accomplished female adventurers”.
Her daily mantra is ‘Think big, dream bigger’.
We were delighted to welcome Holly, to the podcast, to hear her stories of having fallen out of an aeroplane over Everest, to climbing to the summit of Everest, to ambushing poachers on the front line with female rangers in Africa, and for a conversation around her mindset of overcoming obstacles through ‘the power of positive active thinking’.
She is the founder of international NGO, How Many Elephants and recently launched World Female Ranger Week, all of which are making a tremendous impact on the ground in Africa and around the world.
How Many Elephants (UK Registered charity: 1186238) is an innovative, design-led charity educating a global audience about the devastating impacts of the African elephant ivory trade and supporting female rangers on the front line. Through Holly’s adventures and charity work, she has fundraised over £400k.
