On Day 2 of the Australian Dairy Conference in Tasmania this year, Oli sat down with Nedd Brockmann. This podcast is a live recording of that chat.
In 2022, Nedd cemented his legend status by running from Perth to Bondi in 47 days, and not only that, but he raised $2.5 million for homeless charity We Are Mobilise.
This conversation at the Australian Dairy Conference was all about getting excited by what's possible, and who better to be inspired by than Nedd Brockmann himself.
In this conversation, Nedd talks us through:
- Why he’s only taking cold showers in 2023
- What it was like growing up on a cattle farm
- How many kilometres of fencing he put up on his gap year on the family farm
- What is his why?
- 50 marathons in 50 days
- The reality of trying to beat the record for days taken to run across the width of Australia
- The team he had around him on his run and how valuable their support was, even on the hardest days
- Physical or mental pain, what’s worse?
- The resilience of the agriculture industry
- What does he say to himself in the mirror every day?
