About this listen

In the first ever episode of Rise To Your Everest, Adam sits down with Dan Staves — personal trainer and ultramarathon coach — to explore what endurance really teaches us about life, discipline, and resilience.

Dan shares his journey into ultra-endurance, the mindset required to keep going when your body and mind want to quit, and why learning to do hard things on purpose can shape confidence, identity, and self-belief.

This conversation goes beyond training plans and miles covered. It’s about consistency, self-responsibility, and building the mental toughness to show up — not just in sport, but in everyday life.

A powerful opening episode for anyone looking to push boundaries, reconnect with purpose, and start climbing their own Everest.
