Rob Verhelst: Purpose Bigger Than Pain


Listen Later

Andrew talks with Rob Verhelst—known to most as Fireman Rob. A career firefighter for the City of Madison, Wisconsin and an Air Force veteran, Rob drove across the country to help search and recovery at the World Trade Center after the 9/11 attacks. Ten years later to honor the fallen and the first responders, Rob completed the 26.2-mile run portion of the Ironman Wisconsin in full firefighter gear (after already completing the 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile bike!).  Since then, Rob has completed 23 Full Ironman  and 29 Half Ironman—and is the Guinness World Record holder for the Most Ironman 70.3 Triathlons in one year with 23.  This conversation will inspire you and provide practical lessons on goal-setting, finding your passion, and overcoming obstacles. 

A few show highlights:
2:30 - Becoming a firefighter 
4:44 - 9/11 search and recovery
12:23 - Preparing for a big challenge
22:41 - Persevering through challenges
24:13 - Pushing the limits
26:05 - Fireman Rob Foundation
