Steve Gurney is one of the greatest multisport athletes New Zealand has ever produced - but this podcast is about so much more than racing.

In this episode, Steve takes us far beyond the finish line.


We explore:

  • Why winning 9 Coast to Coast titles didn’t bring him peace
  • The childhood trauma that lit his fire
  • How a near-death illness nearly ended everything
  • His struggles with depression and identity
  • Deep work on mental rewiring through NLP
  • Navigating masculinity, aging and purpose after sport
  • Stories from Dancing With the Stars, full-body waxing and being naked on Breakfast TV
  • And what keeps him emotionally moved at the Coast to Coast finish line to this day


This is a masterclass in introspection, reinvention, and the quiet pursuit of peace - from someone who has truly lived multiple lives.
