In this episode, I sit down with Shaun Quincey, adventurer,
entrepreneur, and the second person in history to row solo across
the Tasman Sea. From taking on one of the world’s most
treacherous ocean crossings to building a thriving business
empire, Shaun’s story is one of resilience, grit, and relentless
determination.

Shaun reflects on his journey, the lessons learned from his
record-breaking adventure, and how his father’s legacy as the
first person to row the Tasman Sea inspired his own pursuit of
greatness. We also delve into his transition from adventurer to
entrepreneur and the mindset shifts that made it all
possible.

We cover:

Shaun’s decision to row 2,200km across the Tasman and the
life-or-death challenges he faced on the journey.

The influence of his father’s world-first record and the pressure
to forge his own path.

The moment he almost gave up mid-ocean and how he turned fear
into gratitude and clarity.

How Shaun built a buy-now-pay-later business from scratch and
sold it in a multi-million-dollar deal.

The importance of resilience, routine, and finding purpose in
hard work — whether on the water or in business.

Practical advice on teaching resilience to the next generation
and thriving under pressure.

If you’re inspired by stories of grit, adventure, and the pursuit
of purpose, this conversation with Shaun Quincey will leave you
motivated to tackle your own challenges head-on.
