Turia Pitt is now a motivational speaker, podcaster, mother, she has done a TED talk, and in 2011 Turia was caught in a bushfire while running an ultra marathon. 65 % of her body was burnt. I wanted to talk to her about that moment, that day, and the moments after. I've always been completely fascinated by someone that has come that close to death and survived.
