    HOW to Make STRESS Your Superpower | Emanuele Calabrese

    Emanuele Calabrese is an Osteopath, Performance Coach, and Pain Specialist who works with CEOs, elite athletes, and high performers to help them perform at their best. In this episode of If You Can, Emanuele explains why stress isn't the enemy and how, when understood and managed properly, it can become one of your greatest strengths. He shares practical advice on how stress affects the body, why so many of us struggle to recover from it, and the simple habits that can improve both performance and wellbeing. The conversation also explores pain, resilience, burnout, and what separates those who thrive under pressure from those who become overwhelmed by it. If you've ever felt stressed, burnt out, or wondered how to perform better in work, sport, or everyday life, this episode is packed with practical insights you can start applying immediately. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can. They supported my last adventure across Australia, and this project wouldn’t exist without that belief and trust.

    Running 8000 Miles From Beijing to London | Jack Jarvis

    Jack Jarvis is a former British soldier and the first person in history to row solo, unsupported from mainland Europe to North America. Over 111 days, Jack covered 4,630 miles alone at sea, facing storms, exhaustion, isolation, and some of the harshest conditions the Atlantic Ocean could throw at him. But this challenge was about more than setting a world-first. It was driven by a deeply personal mission to raise money for brain tumour charity Brainstrust in memory of his grandfather. In this episode, Jack shares what it's like to spend months completely alone, how he coped with fear and uncertainty, and the mindset required to keep moving forward when quitting feels like the easier option. He also talks about his next adventure, running 8000 miles from Beijing to London. I also want to say a HUGE thank you to Bob for backing If You Can.
