Nigerian social media entrepreneur, Clara Chizoba Kronborg has broken the world record for the\u00a0longest interviewing marathon<\/strong>\u00a0with a time of 55 hours 24 seconds.<\/p>\n

The previous record was 37 hours 44 minutes by Rob Oliver (USA) in 2022.<\/p>\n

Clara, who hosts a\u00a0talk show on YouTube<\/a>, interviewed 90 people of various nationalities and occupations, including politicians, business owners, content creators, actors, real estate agents and many others.<\/p>\n

The conversations were centred around how each guest achieved success in their respective field.<\/p>\n

Clara grew up in relative poverty in Onitsha, Nigeria, which fuelled her fascination with the concept of success.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThis record attempt was about bringing together diverse individuals, sharing their inspiring narratives, and forging meaningful connections on a global scale.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am committed to amplifying voices, particularly those of hard working women, and using their stories to inspire others facing similar challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clara\u2019s record attempt took place on a docked yacht in the Spanish city of Marbella, where she currently lives.<\/p>\n

In addition to the usually sunny harbour being struck by a heavy rainstorm, Clara faced several difficulties during her record attempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She says her voice became \u201cvery hoarse and rusty\u201d but she avoided losing it by drinking lots of water.<\/p>\n

As with all \u2018longest marathon\u2019 record attempts, Clara accrued five minutes of rest time after each hour of interviewing; only during these breaks was she permitted to nap, change her clothes, or go to the bathroom.<\/p>\n

So, to compensate for the large volume of water she was consuming, Clara wore adult diapers throughout her record attempt.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven worse, my period started the same day, and I was already having intense menstrual cramps,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point I was literally dripping pee and period stain, but I persevered and kept my eyes on the goal. To anyone who ever reads this, once you find your purpose, go after it with everything you\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clara also suffered neck and back aches, which her team relieved with massages during her rest breaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She struggled with sleepiness at multiple points but says she gained a \u201cbattery recharge\u201d every time she began interviewing a new guest, as she was eager to hear their story.<\/p>\n

Enduring all the hardships was worth it for Clara, who says it feels \u201csurreal\u201d to now hold this world record.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecalling everything I went through physically, mentally, financially, emotionally \u2013 it feels so unreal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely proud of this accomplishment because I know lives have been touched and changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement is dedicated to all those who dare to dream and persist, regardless of the challenges they face.\u201d<\/p>
