In this powerful and deeply human conversation, former rugby player Ed Jackson opens up about the moment that changed everything – the split second he dived into a shallow pool, broke his neck, and was told he might never walk again. What should have been the end of his story became the beginning of an extraordinary comeback.

Ed takes us through the raw reality of that life-altering accident, the fight to regain movement millimetre by millimetre, and the mindset that carried him from a hospital bed to summiting mountains around the world. He shares how resilience, purpose, and community turned tragedy into a new mission.

Hallers dives into Ed’s most recent expedition in Kyrgyzstan, his work with Millimetres to Mountains – the charity he founded to help others rebuild after trauma; and the lessons he now brings into boardrooms, sports teams, and recovery communities.

This episode is a story of impact, perspective, and what’s possible when you refuse to let your lowest moment define you.
