For 25 years, today’s guest Damian Browne has pursued his human potential, relentlessly pushing his physical, mental and emotional state to their perceived limits – forging himself and his character in what he deems “a crucible life”. The extreme and former rugby player joins the show to talk about lessons learnt from his challenges on the road.

We explore:

Influences from Damian Browne’s childhood that helped develop his self-confidence
How to overcome the victim mentality by developing self-awareness
Lessons learnt from 16 years as a professional rugby player
Overcoming mental and physical hurdles from endurance expeditions
Advice on retirement and why you are more than just your work

It was great chatting with Damian to learn more about his recent expeditions, such as his recent treacherous row across the Atlantic and how he found the switch from leaving his rugby career. Tune into this episode as we unpack the fear and courage loop, overcoming adversity, the value of endurance, his reflections on fatherhood, and so much more.
