You don’t know PODCAST what you don’t know
I would describe myself as a collector of stories. This is what fuels and excites me. There is no coincidence that my work is in marketing communications – working with business and brands to extract, share and nurture their most authentic story.
I believe a good story is the path to creating a lasting and meaningful connection to everything in our life.
Paul Callaghan, The Dreaming Path, beautifully explains this:
“Everything and everyone has a story. The more stories we share, the more we learn. The more we learn, the more we grow, the closer we are to achieving wellbeing – individually and universally.”
Celeste Moroney, Marketing Strategist

The mind of an ultra trail runner
We talk to Geoff Evison, an Ultra Trail Runner. We are not just talking 100km runs, but 245 kms runs. Which takes 38 hours (on a good run) to complete, if you do actually complete it.
Why does a level headed guy like Geoff, feel the need to get up seven days a week and train for one running challenge after the other?
What we cover in our podcast with Geoff:
- A tiny dabble in politics and travelling through India.

- Running long distances becomes a game of problem solving.
- “There has been lots of tears.”
- When will it be time to quit?
- 12 weeks training plan.
