Imagine waking up tomorrow with the courage to abandon your predictable nine-to-five life for a world of unpredictable adventure. That's the story of Freddie Bennett, who swapped his ledger for the ledger of life, reaching new heights as a public speaker and author. On our latest episode, Freddie lays bare his odyssey from a man shackled by the golden handcuffs of a high-flying accountant job, to embracing the rugged terrain of ultra marathons. He talks about the personal crises that sparked his desire for change, the self-doubt he conquered, and the epiphanies that led him to a life rich in experiences and brimming with purpose.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to push your limits, physically and mentally? Freddie's narrative isn't just about his feats of endurance, but also about the rigorous training, the shift in self-perception, and the invaluable support systems that transformed him from an overweight, self-doubting mid-manager to a competitor in the world's toughest ultra marathon.
