276) Sean Conway - From Self-Professed Ordinary to Record Breaking Endurance
Today’s conversation is with Sean Conway.
Sean is an internationally acclaimed ultra-endurance athlete, author, and a renowned motivational speaker.
Expect to learn how Sean came to understand the two different animals within himself, the value of leaning into activities and ventures which truly serve you, what it takes to push the mind and body to the very limit in being the first, furthest and fastest in a variety of physical challenges, and why it’s not too late to make a change in your life.
Sean really embodies this last lesson as he reshaped his life from self-professed ordinary man to a 43-year-old record-breaking endurance athlete. Many of you will have heard Sean speak before about his physical endeavours and we certainly cover those here including accidentally becoming the first person to swim the length of Britain. But we’ve aimed to go deeper with this conversation and I think you’re going to take a lot of away about mindset, clarity, and living in alignment.

Taking time to stop, review, assess and then share the biggest lessons and reflections from the past 12 months.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We discuss the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research.

268) Ruari Fairbairns - Is Alcohol Holding you back?
Today’s conversation is with Ruari Fairbairns.
Ruari is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, podcast host and Ted-X Speaker.
Having built a successful career as an oil broker, Ruari went on a journey to redefine his relationship with alcohol and has gone onto build and inspire a movement that empowers others and challenge society's perceptions about alcohol.
Expect to learn the potential cost alcohol can have on health, productivity, and relationships, the deep rooted societal impact of alcohol, the power forces, traditions and advertising spend which engrains it into so much of our lives, and why you don’t have to conform.
Ruari offers insights into his journey of breaking free from alcohol, emphasising the benefits on mental clarity, physical health, and personal success. Like any time I’ve discussed a conscious reframing of alcohol and elective sobriety on the podcast, this episode does not necessarily address those impacted by Alcohol Use Disorder or an addiction to the substance. Today’s conversation is primarily focused on seeing where alcohol is holding uni back from your potential and seeing what you could unlock.
Ruari shares some amazing data that just 6% of people want to give up alcohol completely, but the vast majority of the remainder surveyed do want to reduce their intake and reassess their relationship. I know this episode can help you do that.
