Welcome to Going the Extra Mile. My name is Sam Paynter and I live in beautiful bayside Melbourne, I’m a family man with a wonderful wife, Lou, and 3 special children, Will, Ben, and Annabelle. I'm passionate about all things swimming and completed a lifelong dream in 2016 by swimming in the English channel. My second family is the Brighton Icebergers where I swim daily with an interesting and eclectic group of people who share a common passion for open water swimming. In my other life – I am a local real estate agent. And as of right now, I can say that I’m a podcaster! I really appreciate you taking the time to listen. In my 50 plus years in the area, I have met some incredible people who have ‘gone the extra mile’ and achieved some really amazing things. These people have inspired and entertained me, so I wanted to launch this podcast to help share their uplifting and interesting stories with you. Throughout this series, you’ll experience the commitment, dedication and passion that drives ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Above all else, I believe my guests will help you to be more successful in life and business. In the meantime, I’d love it if you could subscribe to Going the Extra Mile on your social media and podcast platform of choice, so you automatically receive each episode as soon as it’s released. We’re super excited to help you be inspired and uplifted by the people of Bayside. Take care and see you on Going The Extra Mile.
