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.
