Episode Summary:
In today’s episode, I take you behind the scenes into a very personal reflection: what I’m striving for — and how that vision shapes my daily actions, career aspirations, and relationships.
I share the powerful image of my "100th birthday BBQ," inspired by lessons from the world of elite sport — especially the legendary All Blacks rugby team.
We explore how to set goals with purpose beyond just outcomes and how you can start building a vision for your own journey of a thousand miles.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • 🎯 Why setting goals beyond personal success leads to deeper fulfillment
  • 🎯 The story of my 100th birthday BBQ — and why it drives my daily habits
  • 🎯 Lessons from the All Blacks on changing the world (not just winning)
  • 🎯 How to frame your own life vision with a simple but powerful question:
     "Who do I need to be, and what do I need to be capable of?"
  • 🎯 Practical steps to begin building your own version of this vision

Key Quotes:

"I'm striving to fill the seats — with people I've helped, and people who've helped me.""The All Blacks didn’t just want to win — they wanted to shock and inspire the world."

"Who do I need to be, and what do I need to be capable of? That question can change everything."
