Description

Yep, this is "Living on the Edge" stuff. Ian is an Australian but currently living in London for this moment in time. He has lived on 5 continents, so chances are that he'll be going somewhere else quite soon.He is an International Safety and Performance Coach (for humans and organizations), which he explains in detail on this podcast episode.  In one sentence, it is basically the science of systems-driven behavior and understanding of how and why people make mistakes.I always thought that there was some science reasoning behind my occasional decision making process.This occupation involves travel and sometimes to places where most of us would not even consider for a split second.Listen to why he was involved in some admirable work in North Korea and yes he did send a bouquet of flowers to the country's glorious leader as a goodwill gesture. With near misses in Libya and the Congo that could have ended badly, he has swam with great white sharks,  climbed an active volcano and consumed jungle plant medicine to name a few.His life is one big adventure, but even though some of his activities are somewhat risky,  it is all educational and fulfilling. You can find Ian here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/safetycoachhttps://facebook.com/ipcollins  http://www.malcolmteasdale.com

After traveling on business for 30 years, what was I going to do after I sold my company in 2013? Answer: Travel more, but to the off-the-beaten-track and obscure places on planet Earth. After visiting almost 100 countries and living in 5 countries, I officially became a Travel Addict. Today, I am contracted by various Cruise Lines to perform enrichment and educational lectures to passengers on various journeys around the World. A podcast or two will be published from time to time when I am back in my office and of course it will be about travel. Oh, almost forgot. I write travel books - factual and quirky. Check me out at malcolmjteasdale.com.All my guests have an inspiring story to tell. Tune in and be amazed. "Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport"
