Guest Bio:

Mandy Gill is a globally recognized ultra-endurance athlete, bestselling author, Harvard Leadership Program graduate, and the visionary behind Hooked on Healthy Habits, one of the most effective behavior change apps in the world. Her work has helped leaders and teams thrive through uncertainty, guided by science-backed strategies in resilience and goal achievement.

Mandy has not only conquered rugged ultra-marathons and Himalayan summits but also graced media platforms as a respected personality, having shared conversations with cultural icons like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. A two-time Women of Distinction Award winner, she’s dedicated to advancing leadership and gender equity on the global stage.

In her new book Reset with Resilience, Mandy combines personal experience, leadership principles, and the raw grit of an ultra-runner to deliver a powerful message: resilience isn't just about bouncing back...it's about rising with purpose.

Episode Summary: In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Mandy Gill—ultra-runner, bestselling author, and CEO—to dive deep into the mindset and methods behind her newest book, Reset with Resilience: A Guide to Greatness When Your Goals Go Sideways.

Mandy opens up about her journey from building and scaling one of the world’s most effective behavior change apps, Hooked on Healthy Habits, to running ultra-marathons and climbing some of the world’s highest peaks. Drawing from one of the largest datasets on goal-setting and resilience, she shares actionable insights on how to push forward when things don’t go to plan.

Together, we explore:

• Why resilience is more important than perfection

• How to navigate failure and detours with purpose

• The surprising lessons Mandy learned from running 100+ km races and her own life "Set-backs"

• The common thread between extreme environments and everyday challenges

• And the leadership principles she now shares with elite organizations, including the US Navy

Whether you’re facing a personal setback or a professional pivot, Mandy’s energy, authenticity, and powerful storytelling will leave you motivated to face the unknown with confidence and clarity.
