Some of his accomplishments include being the only person to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean from the USA to England after 124 days at sea, was the youngest to row any ocean solo, and became the first to row across the Tasman Sea from Tasmania to New Zealand.
As a result of his courageous Ocean voyages, Olly has been involved with hundreds of speaking events, conferences, festivals and lectures all over the world. A leading speaker in his field, Olly gives highly motivational talks on achieving seemingly impossible goals, the reward of perseverance in the pursuit of dreams, and of finding the positives in failure as well as success.
