Transcript

00:00If a bloke from Brisbane can run around the world, then maybe people can aspire to move more.

00:18So tell me, what is it that inspired you to start running?

00:21I met a gentleman in 2017 that was the only other Aussie to run around the world.

00:27I loved the story, I loved the adventure of it, and then throughout the last decade,

00:33if not longer, I feel like the world's become more sedentary. I wanted to get the world moving

00:38and I thought if a bloke from Brisbane can run around the world, then maybe people can aspire

00:43to move more. And has it all been smooth sailing? What are some of the obstacles you come across?

00:49Definitely hasn't been smooth sailing. I've had a whole lot of weather that I've come in contact

00:54with. I've run through four floods, a few whiteouts, snowstorms, blizzards, a tornado.

01:01I've been hit by three cars, chased by an infinite number of dogs, both domestic and wild.

01:13It's probably the things that are on top of my head. But what's made it so much better is

01:18the people I've met, the places I've seen, just the stories I got to tell.

01:22It's been a full life lived in 517 days of plodding along.
