In mid-2025, I sat down with Eddie to talk about his attempt to run across Australia, nearly 3,900 kilometres in 38 days.

We explore the story behind the challenge, the mental and emotional demands of extreme endurance, and the deeper purpose driving the run, including raising funds for Redkite to support kids with cancer and their families.

I’ll share practical tips for breaking out of common mindset traps like confirmation bias, how to see situations from a new angle, and how to use these shifts to grow personally and connect more deeply with others.
