Health Versus Wealth With Dr Ben

Chris Moon MBE is a double amputee who has triumphed despite adversity having been injured while clearing landmines for a charity in Africa. Today he’s well known as a Keynote speaker, big on the After Dinner Speaker circuit, a Director of corporate Workshops and a Programme Director, a Conference Facilitator, author and a Motivator, whose expertise lies in helping others improve their performance and resilience.

Despite physical challenges he overcomes daily having lost his right arm and a leg, he’s travelled widely, delivering inspiring talks on every continent, 100+ countries, to audiences of all ages, from schoolchildren to CEOs. A former British Army officer, he was in Mozambique, Africa (in 1995) clearing landmines when the accident happened. Becoming a double amputee didn’t put him off his stride in life. Less than a year after leaving hospital, he completed the London Marathon and, at the age of 62, he continues to run the world’s most gruelling ultra-marathons.

He’s also one of the few Westerners to have survived being taken prisoner by Cambodia’s ruthless Khmer Rouge guerrillas. “I am one of the luckiest people to be alive whom you’re likely to meet,” he says. In this episode, the first of two, he shares his life experiences and offers advice for people in business.
