In the debut episode of The Gathering, Jon and Harry dive into conversation with social entrepreneur Hannah Cox, sharing the story behind Project Salt Run — her audacious mission to run 100 marathons in 100 days along India’s historic Inland Customs Line hedge.

Founder of betternotstop and the Better Business Network, Hannah knows a thing or two about building communities for positive change. Today she shares her journey so far on a more personal level - the transformation of chronic pain into purpose, reconnecting with her Indian heritage, and using endurance as a tool for resilience, sustainability, and impact. Her journey shows how nature can both heal and unite, proving that anyone can take small, powerful steps to make the world a better place.

In this episode:

· Sustainability in action: Turning bold ideas into tangible environmental and social impact.

· Project Salt Run: Running 100 marathons in 100 days to spotlight climate justice and connection to heritage.

· Resilience & mindset: Overcoming chronic pain and self-doubt through perseverance and purpose.
