Adventurer. Founder. Speaker.

Sam Cox is an adventurer, expedition leader, speaker, and former Royal Marines Commando. From leading polar expeditions to completing ultra-endurance challenges, he draws on his military background and real-world experience in extreme environments to help others build resilience and perform under pressure.

Having built his life around exploration, purpose, and resilience, shaped by years of challenge in the military and the outdoors, Sam began his career at 19 when he joined the Royal Marines. He has since gone on to establish Pole to Pole Challenges, an organisation that designs and leads expeditions to help others explore their potential by making the aspirational accessible.

Everything he does is driven by a few fundamental principles: discipline, curiosity, and the pursuit of what is possible.

Through speaking, storytelling, and expedition projects, Sam shares practical insights on preparation, mindset, and the discipline needed to achieve ambitious goals in any field.
