What if the real transformation isn’t in the goal you achieve…

but in the person you have to become on the way there?

In this powerful episode of Conversations That Count, Jeihan sits down with Lachie Stuart, founder of The Man That Can Project, to unpack the mindset, identity shifts, and emotional resilience behind running 58 marathons in 58 days across 58 states… and the life that shaped him long before that challenge even began.

From playing professional rugby to battling depression, losing close mates to suicide, building men’s groups, and showing up publicly in his most vulnerable moments, Lachie shares what it really takes to back yourself when nobody else believes in your vision, including you.

This episode goes far beyond endurance.

It’s about emotional intelligence, identity, purpose, and becoming the man (or woman) you’d be proud to be led by.

You’ll hear Lachie talk through:

• How he broke the loop of self-sabotage after years of numbing, drinking, and hiding
• The “Resilience Loop” he teaches men and how to apply it to your own life and leadership
• Why most people stay stuck (it’s not lack of discipline it’s lack of direction)
• What 14 months of preparation taught him about self-trust, conviction, and making bold decisions
• How to build resilience without burning yourself into the ground
• Why frameworks don’t change people stories do
• The raw truth about men, connection, purpose, and emotional safety
• What becoming a father has taught him about identity and legacy

And of course…
