We all are  uniquely
different. Just how do your turn your strenghts into success?

What started as a fun run to shed some pounds lit the fire to evolve into a
super accomplished extreme adventurer.

Looking at Richard Bowles, setting new standards in the
world of extreme ultra mountain and trail running, you´d think it´s all
genetics, talent and maybe luck to be able to pull off many world records.

But it´s that not in Richard´s eyes. When you look at him,
he looks like a normal guy. In truth, he most likely is but with a radically
different view pushing for progress every day.  

One of many big surprises is that he doesn´t even consider
himself a runner or feels particularly passionate about running. But why would
anybody voluntarily push himself and run over 26,550,000 steps during numerous
running projects and going for new world records?

The why is difficult to answer and Richard was so intrigued
by the questions he kept getting that he took a brake and searched for the
answer for a year. Only to find out, it´s simpler than you think.

What´s left inside you when you´re out there on often very
secluded trails pushing yourself with every step often for days and weeks with
only small rests in between, passion or talent is not going to pull you along.

It´s the power of the mind which everybody has got access
to. And Richard is truly obsessed with how to work his mind inside out. He has
run across the longest marked trails in the world, amongst them the
Bicentennial National Trail in Australia covering a distance of 5,330 km, the
Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand with a distance of 3, 054 km and the 1,009 km
long National Trail in Israel, just to name a few.

When it comes to personal growth and development, he knows
no limit and endures in outrageously and often dangerous challenges helping him
to strip down to the core, striving to become a better person every day.

But there is also that side beyond constantly progressing and
pushing about him. In our conversation, he wasn´t shy to talk about sex and
what turned the coin for him, when a farmer stuck a gun in his mouth ready to
shoot him.

Richard shares valuable insights about his day-to-day life
and gives mindset tips how you can stay on your tracks when you lose motivation
and bridging the gap between giving up and continuing to try and accomplish
your goals.

When he´s not running and planning his next crazy adventure,
Richard rocks the stages all over Australia and Asia as a keynote speaker for
big companies delivering the tools to change your life and ultimately feel more
in control of your decision.

It seems there is only black and white in his world. And
maybe it´s what brought him to where he is. Just a normal guy doing what he´s
best at without allowing anything to stop him from accomplishing his goals.

Anne-Marie Flammersfeld – how a simple idea helped her rise to
winning the Desert Grand Slam Title and going beyond your wildest imagination.

I´ve heard of Anne-Marie in a magazine article years ago.
She had just won the Grand Slam title and made it into the club of the first
German woman ever to finish all four Racing The Planet desert races within one
year. Not only that, she won every single race of the series without ever
having had an ultra marathon running experience before.

Talking to Anne-Marie felt like talking to a good friend.
Her warm-heartedness, humour and outgoing persona is infectious. In this
conversation, she talks about her background in ballsports and what set her
heart on fire for running. She goes deep into what triggers her to perform on
such a high level and what supports her self-belief in faith. If you think it´s
about sheer talent and physical training, Anne-Marie proves this wrong.

It was first during a trip in Argentina that she met a
Norwegian guy and the crazy idea to participate in the Racing The Planet series
was born. Anne-Marie never just simply wants to run a race. With a clear goal
in mind, she´s tackled the most grueling mountain and trail races world wide
since 2012.  She´s driven to discover new
places inside and outside of herself.  Moving
in nature being an essential part in her life, Anne-Marie is tireless in her
pursuit to explore unknown territory.

She´s found a deep passion in her bottom-up project which
she talks about in-depth as well as her passion to make the world a better
place for children in need.

Anne-Marie isn´t purely an athlete. As a sports scientist
with her own coaching and training business in the high mountains of St.Moritz
in Switzerland, she´s committed to help others rise to be their best, to live
in the moment and making the most of life every day by trusting and following your
innate instincts.

At almost 40, she´s nowhere near the end of her ultra
running career. If anything, she´s full of ideas and plans for the future,
feeling called to turn another simple idea into a bigger vision.

Please enjoy this conversation on the power of the mind, dealing
with post-race depression and strategies you can apply to your life to reach
your goals.

It´s been another great episode of my
podcast, filled with so many insights on entrepreneuership and persisting on
the journey to turning passion into profession. Bryon Powell, former attorney
in Washington D.C. quit his stable 9-5 to go on a quest to dedicate his time,
energy and money to serving the fast-growing community of ultra marathoners
worldwide. He´s a writer, author of two books, competitive ultra marathoner
with over 65 races under his belt with the 400 kilometre Gobi Ultra Trail Race
being one of his greatest achievements and founder of the highly popular online
platform irunfar.com, the world´s biggest and most respected ultra running community
to this day.

It´s a conversation about patience and
persistence, ongoing motivation, focusing on the bigger vision and how to deal
with obstacles on the path.

Full of surprises („I never had a plan“),
laughter, humour, warm-heartedness and generosity getting down to the core why
he wouldn´t stop to continue what he does, Bryon explains what impact his work
continues to have on his life, his community and the relationship with his
partner and accomplished ultra runner Meghan Hicks.

He openly talks about the defining moments
of being on the verge of quitting and what can keep you going during the tough
times. He´s super uncomplicated, funny, open and relaxed offering a relaxed
approach to nutrition (another surprise). An example of somebody who´s not
chasing for the big bucks and looking for his own benefit but serving his
greater purpose. 

No doubt, he´s achieved this over the almost last decade. I´m
delighted and super grateful that Bryon took two hours of his time before he
signed off to head out for a 50 k training run. That´s right. Things shift when
you begin to crave running longer distances and 50 k becomes an easy thing to
tackle. Enjoy the episode and share what you think and took away.

I feel humbled and
extremely honored to introduce you to another special guest on the show –
Deborah Ann Corbin. It´s a conversation about life, setting yourself up for success, entrepreneurship and how the most challenging times in life can be turned into your greatest strengths. 

I´ve known Deborah for only
a year and a half, all through the virtual space. Our paths crossed in one of
the many entrepreneurial facebook groups for women.

Pretty much from when I
first joined this crazy space and finding myself in complete overwhelm and
caught up in the noise of countless sales pitches and hardcore language,  Deborah´s message really stood out amongst the
thousands of others. So I began to follow her until we finally connected.

Her approach was different
and radiated affection and true caring for others. As we got to know each other
more, I learned that Deborah is also an advocat of living a healthy lifestyle
that includes a balanced, healthy diet and regular exercise. She´s an avid
runner and Pilates instructor which she learned from the master himself, Joseph
H. Pilates.

Her real mission in life is
dedicated to helping others seize their greatness. With her warm-heartedness
and background in Education she´s making a real difference in people´s lives
both in the online and offline world.

She is committed to raise
the bar in coaching and education supporting her philosophy to see beneath
people´s surface and tapping into their core identity where true freedom is experienced.

The best way to describe
Deborah´s mission is that she´s been able to turn her life around for the
better in the very challenging times during her childhood when she had to find
ways to deal with her father´s alcohol abuse. It´s through these wounds and the
ways in which she learned to protect herself that she´s also been able to
unfold her greatest strengths and gifts: Seeing straight into people´s wounds
where the greatest healing takes place, right at the core of your being.

In her own words, it´s when
you discover the depth of your mind „you can extract your greatest strength
from your hardest times.“

Deborah is also a master of
manifestation and all things mindset. She believes that everybody can tap into
the Universal Laws and provides in-depth support to access these. This reflects
in her life as she´s not only manifested her husband of 26 years but many other
beautiful things that she´s created in her life.

After successfully running
a live event recently Deborah is launching a 6-week online program at the end
of the month.
