1,000 miles. No support. No shortcuts. One incredible story.
Nick Spicer, CEO of Your Eco, isn’t just building renewable energy systems—he’s pushing the limits of human endurance. He features prominently in the new Amazon Prime documentary “Push Past Impossible,” which chronicles the 2023 Yukon 1000, the world’s longest paddle race.
The challenge: 1,000 miles of self-supported canoeing through remote Canadian and Alaskan wilderness in under 10 days. Nick took it on alongside Lieutenant Colonel Dan Holloway of The Royal Yorkshire Regiment.
Why? Because the same discipline that drives Your Eco’s military-ethos project delivery—meticulous planning, risk management, team discipline, operational excellence—translates directly to expedition planning. Every calorie counted. Every portage mapped. Every contingency rehearsed.
But it wasn’t just personal achievement. Nick and Dan raised over £70,000 for YPI Counselling & Reduce Our Carbon Charitable Foundation, supporting mental health services for military personnel and veterans and helping those most vulnerable to climate change. That’s the philosophy at Your Eco: business success and social impact go hand in hand.
What’s remarkable is the willingness to be tested publicly, to attempt something you might fail at, and to do it for a cause bigger than yourself. That’s authentic leadership.
“Push Past Impossible” is available now on Amazon Prime Video worldwide. If you’re curious about what drives someone to balance commercial responsibility with personal adventure, or simply want to see what happens when ordinary people attempt extraordinary things—it’s worth 90 minutes of your time.
Nick says: “The same rigour that ensures solar installations are audit-ready, safety-compliant, and delivered on time translates to expedition planning.”
Nick says: “Pushing past impossible limits isn’t just about individual glory—it’s about channelling that effort toward meaningful causes.”
Watch the documentary and discover the person behind Your Eco’s operational excellence.
