What would happen if, at 42 years old, you decided to do something extraordinary—something you’dnever done before? 🏃‍♂️
Meet William Thomas: retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel, PhD, executive coach, author of Cross the Lines, and global marathon runner who proves it’s never too late to start.

At 42, William ran his very first marathon. By 50, he had completed the Marathon Grand Slam—a marathon on all 7 continents and at the North Pole. He didn’t stop there. In 2019, he conquered the Abbott World Marathon Majors, andin 2024, he ran the legendary Everest Marathon on Mount Everest. 🌍❄️⛰️

In this inspiring conversation, William shares:
✅ How to push past fear and self-doubt at any age
✅ Why you don’t need to be an Olympian to achieve extraordinary things
✅ Lessons in resilience, self-discipline, and goal-setting from running marathons worldwide
✅ How adventure and risk-taking can transform your career, health, and relationships

Today, William lives in Singapore, runs 3–4 marathons each year, and continues to inspire people around the world to chase bold goals—whether in fitness, business, or life.

If you’ve ever thought “it’s too late for me,” this episode will prove otherwise.
