Listen Later

What if one voice could change the way you see endurance sport - and even yourself? Today, we’re joined by an iconic voice of Ironman, Paul Kaye - the man who’s called thousands of athletes across the finish line and witnessed some of the most powerful moments in the sport. 

But Paul isn’t just an announcer. He’s an Ironman finisher himself, a master of storytelling, and someone who truly understands why endurance sport transforms lives. 

In this episode, Paul shares the most unforgettable finish line moments, the power of music to fuel performance, and why Ironman is more than just a race - it’s a life-changing experience. 

We also dive into his own endurance journey, what makes Ironman South Africa so special, and the deep “why” that drives us all. 

Whether you’re an athlete or just looking for inspiration, this episode will make you rethink what’s possible. Let’s get into it.


Highlights:

  • The Journey From Radio to Ironman Finish Line Icon
  • Turning Grief and Divorce into Personal Fuel
  • Crafting Magic Moments at the Finish Line
  • The Art of Emotional Announcing, Not Ego
  • Using Music to Heighten Race-Day Drama
  • Balancing Emotion During Tragedy and Crisis
  • Reflections on Kona vs. Nice: A World Champs Split
  • Why Silence and Stillness Matter More Than Hype
