This is a podcast where we sit down with some very successful people from the world of business, entertainment and sport about their life’s journey and what got them to the position that they’re in today.

In today’s episode we are chatting with gold medal winning athlete Kurt Fearnley.

Kurt Fearnley is a three time Paralympic gold medalist and two time Commonwealth Games gold medalist. He has won over 40 marathons, including New York, Chicago and London and he’s even crawled the Kokoda track.

Kurt was born without the lower portion of his spine. 

He grew up in a small country town and paved his way to being one of the best athletes on the planet. He has a unique perspective on what it takes, the determination and dedication, to be successful. 

In this chat we speak a lot about how disability is viewed in Australia, and Kurt shares some cracker stories about his life including one time that he met the queen.

Kurt makes you feel like you can take on anything.
