In today’s episode, I sit down with professional speaker, goal-setting coach, and author Gerry Duffy from Mullingar. Gerry has coached some of the top leaders from Facebook, Google, and Coca Cola to name a few.

In this episode Gerry talks about his inspirational journey from being four stone overweight at the age of 27 to running 32 marathons in 32 days and winning the 2011 UK DECA Enduroman Iron distance challenge, (10 Ironman Triathlons in 10 consecutive days), an event dubbed the ‘’The toughest ten-day endurance challenge in the world’’.

Gerry believes that in order to grow and develop as human beings, we first must be brave enough to step out of our comfort zone and then courageous enough to challenge ourselves with being uncomfortable. In 1995 when he took up running for the first time, Gerry discovered that  ‘life rewards effort’. 

Gerry firmly believes that human beings can do far more than we give ourselves credit for and is keen on leading by example.
