Ultra-marathon runner Sean Bell is breaking down the raw and powerful mindset it took to keep moving forward when it was just him against the distance. Sean has become the fastest person to circumnavigate Australia on foot, finishing 13,383km in 158 days, 14 hours and 52 minutes. He averaged 84km per day and broke the existing record by 11 days.
Sean pushed past mental and physical limits daily, not just to make history but to make a difference. Fueled by a mission to chase his audacious dreams and inspire others to do the same, Sean’s journey speaks to what’s possible when you commit entirely to a purpose.
"Life is all about stages...initially, I never thought I'm going to run around Australia...but hearing [Stu Middleman] story made me believe that maybe I can run a marathon..and so once I achieved that, well then you think what's next?"
In this episode Andrew and Sean discuss:
1:50 Sean’s recent move to Sydney, growing up wanting to be an AFL player and the moment that all changed after he ran his first marathon.
6:15 Working hard to achieve your goals, realising that nobody is coming to save you and you should only get a ribbon if you earn it.
10:50 Sean’s mate Joey unexpectedly passing away and the impact that had on Sean’s life, what Sean got out of seeing Tony Robbins live in America and starting to look at what is possible in ultra endurance running.
16:30 Why Sean is so optimistic, pushing past people telling you you’re not good enough and when Sean realised he would have to have a deliberate training plan to be able to run long distances.
22:45 Learning psychological skills through experience, Sean’s purpose and meeting his coach Jase while preparing for a big run.
28:30 The masterclass in goal setting that Sean has gone through, some of the inspirational figures in Sean’s life and running 50 marathons in 50 days to get ready for the run around Australia.
36:15 Some of the training Sean had to do to prepare his body for the run, how he was able to break it down into achievable goals and putting on excess muscle knowing you are going to lose it while running.
41:45 Looking at the requirements for being able to run around Australia and building up to that, the 33% split between physical, psychological and support staff needed to do the run and not wanting to tap out after starting the run.
47:30 Getting a stress fracture 8 weeks out from the run, breaking the run down into 8km segments and the best day of running that Sean had on his journey.
56:30 Running a double marathon every day as a goal, coach Jase’s unfortunate passing just before the run and the wizard’s take outs from the episode so far.
1:04:30 Sean still processing the fact that he was able to achieve his goal, getting support from previous record holders and the challenge of running across Tasmania after running around the mainland.
1:12:30 Sean’s unusual diet on the run, building up mental toughness on the run and the importance of visualisation for Sean’s problem solving on the run.
1:21:55 What Sean is planning to do next, how you can find Sean and Andrew and Shannon’s reflections.

Surviving a Heli Crash, The Power of Tapping the Dark Side, and the 1st Paraplegic to Scale Everest Base Camp
In 2018, Jay Stevens life took a dramatic turn after a helicopter crash in Uluru left him paralyzed, with doctors telling him he’d never walk again. Despite a severe spinal cord injury and a bleak prognosis, Jay refused to accept his fate.
Through sheer grit and an unbreakable mindset, Jay rebuilt his body and life, becoming the first paraplegic to walk to Everest Base Camp without the aid of a wheelchair. His journey is a testament to defying the odds and pushing past life’s toughest barriers. Jay’s story isn’t just about survival; it’s about embracing challenges, harnessing the “dark side” for strength, and proving that limits are meant to be broken.
In this episode Andrew and Jay discuss:
2:45 Andrew and Jay’s shared run club, how Jay is doing 6.5 years after his accident and how Jay sees his life as an evolution.

16:00 Jay using his sales experience and learning mental resilience from ultra marathon runners, the crushing weight of being away from his family for 7 months and Jay’s kids being the reason he does everything.
20:00 learning to accept some of the darker thoughts around the helicopter crash, how everyone else in the helicopter survived and not being rocked by the smaller things now.
25:00 Jay’s wonderful marriage of 10 years, being part of a generation that is showing more emotions and Jay’s use of EMDR therapy to overcome his PTSD.
35:00 Jay retraining his nervous system to be able to move his legs again, the impact of visualising running around Lake Narrabeen and re learning how to “run” on an exercise bike.
41:30 Being unable to feel your left leg or tell where it is in space, working on the hips to make up for lack of glute muscles and how Jay came up with a method of walking.
46:15 Using fatherhood as a main motivator to recover as well as possible, what fatherhood means to Jay and being able to tap into the dark side to overcome obstacles.
55:00 Growing up in a violent household, using some of the trauma in his past as motivation and travelling over 4 hours a day to get acupuncture during recovery.
1:03:15 Getting off opioids to confront the mental trauma of the helicopter accident, inviting his dad on the Everest trek and getting some positive feedback from him.
1:10:45 Climbing over 5km up to get to Everest base camp, what Jay felt when he got to Everest base camp and where the idea to do the trek came from
1:19:15 Jay’s systems based approach to doing things in life, having a spiritual connection to water and looking back on previous journals from before the helicopter accident.
