Ujjwal chats with Sean Bell, an incredible man on a life changing mission. His story started from running in honour of a late friend, completing 50 marathons in 50 days. That was just the beginning for Sean as he has his eyes set on running 14000km around Australia in the future. We really enjoyed this conversation about how finding a powerful purpose influences mental well-being. At the time of the recording, Sean was planning to run around Australia in 2021 however due to the COVID-19 situation, the run has been delayed to 2022.
Overall, an incredible conversation about the power of going outside yourself, the importance of reaching out to others and the invaluable reminder to chase your dreams now as we aren’t promised tomorrow.
