Alright, today's guest is an Australian icon and a global inspiration. After surviving a near-fatal accident, he became the first wheelchair athlete to complete the Hawaiian Ironman, swim the English Channel, and so much more. He’s a testament to the power of the human spirit to conquer even the most daunting challenges. This man redefines the word 'resilient.' 
It’s an honor and privilege to have him join me on the show.

Alright, today's guest is a 22-year-old phenom who's shaking up the world of triathlon! Just two weeks ago, he became the youngest man to ever win the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. He came out of what seemed like nowhere and took the triathlon world by storm. 
He’s from Germany, a country with a rich history of producing world-class athletes - including the Patrick Lange, the Raelert brothers, Sebastian Keinle and of course Jan Frodeno. Today we're going to learn what makes this young man tick, and I am thrilled to have him here to dive into his incredible journey.

His accolades include the coveted title of Ironman Triathlon World Champion in 2012, showcasing a masterful blend of swimming, biking, and running. And he was a runner-up in the world champs the previous year. Add to that multiple Ironman and Ironman 70.3 wins around the world you get the picture… he’s one of Australia’s all-time greats.
