Growth through hardships with Damian Browne

What does it mean to be an explorer?


What are the sacrifices one must take?


What are the benefits of putting yourself through such hard
physical challenges?


This week we speak to Damian Browne, an extreme adventurer, peak
performance athlete and International keynote speaker from
Galway, Ireland. 


For the last 25 years Damian has pursued his human potential,
relentlessly pushing his body & mind to their perceived
limits; forging himself & his character in what he deems “a
crucible life”. 


During a 16-year career as a professional rugby player, Damian
donned the colours of some of rugby’s European elite, including
Northampton Saints & Leinster; where he won club rugby’s
biggest prize, The Heineken Cup. 


Since retirement from professional rugby, Damian has become one
of the World’s foremost extreme adventurers; undertaking some of
the most demanding physical and mental challenges on the planet,
including the 257km Sahara Desert ultra marathon, The Marathon
des Sables,  climbed 5 of the 7 Summits, a renowned
mountaineering feat & most recently created history by
becoming the first person ever to row from New York City to
Galway, taking 112 days and in the process become one of only a
handful of people to have rowed the Atlantic in both directions.


Damian's drive to explore his physical & mental limits is not
exclusive to ultra endurance events and he is a multi-time Irish
indoor rowing champion, holding all-time, all-category records
for the 500m and 1000m distance.


We were lucky to have had Damian in the studio with us for this
episode, a brilliant and deep character, we hope you enjoy this
episode as much as we did.


Lots of love,


Dave & Steve
