Episode 122: Sarah Robb O’Hagan – EXTREME YOU:
Unlocking Your Potential
Executive, activist and entrepreneur, Sarah Robb O’Hagan is
described by the media as everything from “Superwoman undercover”
to the “Queen of the Jocks” to the ultimate example of where fierce
business woman, mother and fitness fanatic combine. Named among
Forbes “Most Powerful Women in Sports” and recognized as one of
Fast Company’s “Most Creative People in Business” Sarah is an
internationally recognized re-inventor of brands, but if you ask
Sarah, she’ll say she’s in business to help individuals and teams
achieve their potential.
Sarah was born in New Zealand – the first country in the world
to give women the vote and home to the first man to climb Mt
Everest. The pioneering spirit of her country cultivated Sarah’s
drive and imagination for “what’s possible” enabling her to found a
movement she currently leads called “Extreme Living” – helping
individuals, teams and businesses unlock their potential by
discovering their own uniquely exploitable traits. Her book
EXTREMEYOU will be published by HarperCollins in 2017. (From
