Hi there, dreamers! If you’ve ever doubted your ability to push past limits - things you feel may be impossible - today's episode is for you. Imagine diving into icy, unpredictable waters, swimming for hours—sometimes days—against relentless currents, all while battling exhaustion and self-doubt. Sounds intense, right? Well, for today’s guest, that’s just another day in his world. Andy Donaldson is an elite ultramarathon swimmer, a world record holder, and a man who has redefined what’s possible in endurance sports. And he is a beautiful human. But his story is more than just about swimming—it’s about resilience, mindset, and finding purpose in life's toughest challenges. In this episode, we dive deep into: ✔️ How Andy turned failure into fuel, transforming his Olympic dreams into something even bigger ✔️ The mental strategies that help him push through when his body screams for him to stop ✔️ The powerful role of purpose and how he uses swimming to make a difference Andy’s journey is more proof for us all that setbacks don’t define us—how we respond to them does. His wisdom will leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take on your own impossible. So, if you’re looking for a boost of motivation, grab a coffee (or go for a walk!) and hit play.
