Nigerian social media entrepreneur Clara Chizoba Kronborg sets world record for longest interviewing marathon
Nigerian social media entrepreneur Clara Chizoba Kronborg has achieved a remarkable feat by breaking the world record for the longest interviewing marathon, clocking in an impressive time of 55 hours and 24 seconds. This surpasses the previous record of 37 hours and 44 minutes set by Rob Oliver (USA) in 2022.
Clara, known for hosting a talk show on YouTube, embarked on this extraordinary journey aboard a docked yacht in the Spanish city of Marbella, where she currently resides.
Throughout the marathon, she interviewed 90 individuals from diverse backgrounds, including politicians, business owners, content creators, actors, and real estate agents. The conversations delved into the stories and strategies behind each guest’s path to success.
Having grown up impoverished in Onitsha, Nigeria, Clara’s fascination with success stories fueled her determination to undertake this record attempt. She aimed to amplify the voices of hardworking women and inspire others facing similar challenges.
Despite facing numerous obstacles, including a heavy rainstorm and physical discomfort, Clara persevered through the marathon.
She battled hoarseness in her voice, menstrual cramps, and fatigue but remained resolute in her pursuit of the record. To manage the demands of the marathon, Clara wore adult diapers to compensate for the large volume of water she consumed and endured neck and back aches, alleviated by massages during rest breaks.
Reflecting on her achievement, Clara expressed pride and gratitude for the opportunity to touch and change lives through her marathon effort.
She dedicated her accomplishment to all who dare to dream and persist despite adversity, emphasizing the importance of pursuing one’s purpose with unwavering determination.
