Louis Alexander
Louis Alexander helps audiences build resilience, courage, and purpose through lessons from his extreme adventures. A three-time Guinness World Record holder, he has run marathons on all seven continents, swum all seven seas, and spoken at 10 Downing Street.
Louis Alexander is one of the world's youngest professional adventurers and a three-time Guinness World Record holder, known for testing human endurance in some of the planet's most extreme environments.
Guinness World Records recognises Louis as the first person in history to run a marathon distance on all seven continents and swim a staged marathon across the seven seas, a challenge he completed in a record 633 days. Louis' adventures have been featured by National Geographic, BBC News, Sky News and Heart Breakfast, and he has appeared as a guest speaker at 10 Downing Street.
Much of Louis' drive traces back to his late grandfather's battle with dementia. He has since become a vocal advocate for dementia research, raising funds for Alzheimer's charities and prompting a direct reply from the Prime Minister on the state of dementia diagnostics in the UK.
In January 2027, Louis begins his attempt at a fourth Guinness World Record, kayaking seven of the world's most dangerous ocean crossings. Rather than looking back, he speaks from inside a live journey that audiences can follow long after the talk, sharing lessons on resilience, purpose, and building a personal brand with schools, universities, and corporate teams across Europe, Asia, and North America.
Audiences leave with a clearer sense of how to build resilience, sustain purpose under pressure, and approach challenges with courage.
Book Louis Alexander to bring inspiring lived resilience and adventure to your next event.

To book Louis Alexander, email louis.alexander@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Louis' availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
