It’s hard to believe, but 30 years have passed since I finished Oakham School, and this week I was back for my first reunion. Back then, many of us felt miles apart from each other, but looking at the world today, we realize we are part of a rare and tight-knit niche.
As entrepreneurs and fitness enthusiasts, we find ourselves often working within that unique intersection – driven, motivated, and always searching for improvement. That’s why I’m excited to share this edition with you, packed with insights from people who push limits in business, sport, and personal growth.
Business of Endurance Podcast
If you missed last week’s episode, let me encourage you to catch it this week. I interviewed Chrissie Wellington OBE, a four-time Ironman World Champion whose story is nothing short of legendary. Chrissie didn’t turn professional until she was 30, and in her career, she redefined what it means to push human endurance.
In this candid conversation, she talks about her journey from international development in Nepal to conquering the Ironman, racing through pain, and finding purpose beyond podiums. Chrissie’s wisdom on resilience, health, and balancing work with purpose is essential listening for anyone looking to expand their mental and physical limits. Listen to it here.
What I’ve Been Reading
I’ve just finished Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. This book has been a spiritual beacon for millions, including Steve Jobs, who gave it to everyone at his funeral in an iPad box. Yogananda’s tale of self-discovery, spiritual insight, and connection to Eastern and Western philosophy provides a profound look at life beyond the ordinary. It’s not just about meditation or yoga, but about understanding the deeper currents of existence, which I think anyone can appreciate.
TED Talk I’ve Found Interesting
Leadership and generosity are often seen as separate traits, but Joe Davis challenges that view in his TED talk, Is Generosity the Most Underrated Leadership Skill? He offers a fresh take on leadership – one that centres around human connection and giving rather than ego. If you’re striving to lead with impact, this one’s for you.
What I’ve Been Watching
If you’re looking for something that challenges the status quo, I highly recommend Diary Of A CEO featuring Natalie Dawson. This powerhouse of a woman reveals how she scaled her business and made multimillion-dollar success possible with her PPF framework. The way she teaches about traits that guarantee success is invaluable – especially if you’ve ever wondered why some succeed while others don’t. Watch this to learn the key habits and mindset shifts of the top 1%.
