No One's Coming To Save You | Craig O'Brien #33

Craig O'Brien on Perspective, Resilience & Running 100 Miles for a Reason Craig O'Brien is an electrical contractor, business owner and endurance runner from Bristol who nearly lost everything — his business, his money, his dad, and his mind — all in the same year. In 2017, a six-figure debt, a business collapse and the death of his father sent him into a medically diagnosed psychotic break. What pulled him out wasn't the NHS. It was a Sunday morning on his sofa, a YouTube video, and a decision to invest in himself. In this episode, Craig gets completely honest about rock bottom, the tools that rebuilt him — journaling, stoicism, coaching, and fitness — why curiosity is the most underrated driver in life, and why he now runs 70-mile charity events because the pain of running is nothing compared to a child going hungry.

The Ripple Effect | Ste Gordon #31

From Selling Drugs to Coaching Champions — Ste Gordon on Prison, Purpose & the Ripple Effect Ste Gordon is a kettlebell sport athlete, strength and conditioning coach, and founder of a gym in the Northeast of England that's been running for 17 years. But the path to get there wasn't straightforward. A teenage class clown who dropped out of his apprenticeship, got caught in a cycle of drugs, and ended up sentenced to two and a half years in prison. In this episode, Ste talks about the coach who first changed his life, why sport is one of the last places left where kids can safely learn to fail, how prison became a course correction rather than a dead end, and the ripple effect that's been driving everything he does ever since.
