In 1954, Roger Bannister did what the world believed was physically impossible:

He ran a mile in under four minutes.

But what happened next is even more powerful.

Just weeks later, others broke the same barrier. And within three years, sixteen more had done it.

Why?

Because the real limit wasn’t physical.

It was psychological.

In this episode, Rene unpacks the Roger Bannister Effect – and what it teaches us about breaking personal and societal barriers.

You’ll learn why perceived limits are often illusions, how breakthroughs become contagious, and why preparation is just as important as belief.

This isn’t just a story about running.

It’s about what happens when someone refuses to accept “impossible.”
