Episode notes
From Trader To Coach To EOS Implementer
- Tim Harris left a high-stress trading career after repeated burnout and his mother's death, then retrained as an ICF-accredited business and personal coach.
- He coached CEOs but sought a bigger impact, which led Brandon Harris to introduce him to EOS where only 16 implementers existed in the UK.
Rowing Across The Atlantic Connected Back To EOS
- Tim signed up for an unassisted Atlantic row from La Gomera to Antigua as an endurance reset and discovered EOS principles were embedded in his coach's training.
- His rowing coach used vision, values, and right person right seat concepts without naming EOS.
52 Day Unassisted Row With Hallucinations
- The Atlantic crossing took just under 52 days with 302 hours of continuous rowing shifts and extreme sleep deprivation leading to hallucinations.
- Tim and Simon experienced mirages of fresh food and hotels, and the cabin reached ~40°C and was claustrophobic.
