Courtney Duncan is a four-time world motocross champion.

In this revealing conversation, Courtney opens about the toughest chapter of her life: being diagnosed with a heart condition: pericarditis, and how that forced her to completely reevaluate her approach to racing, health, and life.

We also talk about the emotional rollercoaster of winning her first world title, what it meant after years of setbacks, near misses, and heartbreak. 

And the pressure that followed. Because sometimes, reaching the top is only the beginning.

This is a conversation about more than just sport—it’s about resilience, identity, and what it really takes to chase your dreams.

Whether you’re a fan or just learning about Courtney for the first time, I think you’ll love this episode.

Massive thanks to my long-term podcast sponsors, Generate.

If I could ask you to do one big favour, for me and for yourself, it would be to consider getting KiwiSaver advice from Generate, like I did.

The decisions you make with your KiwiSaver now could have a big impact on how much you have to live on in retirement.

And if you’ve never had KiwiSaver advice before, you could be missing out.

Generate has a strong track record of long-term performance. You can check out their latest returns on their website.

They also have advisers who can come to you and help you figure out the right KiwiSaver setup for your goals: no pressure, just good advice.

I met with one when Generate came on board as a sponsor back in 2023 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner.
