Marcus is an extreme athlete and coach, entrepreneur and motivational speaker.    As a show fan favourite, lolong-termisteners will be familiar with him from episodes 141 Find Your Everest and Showing No Weakness with Marcus Smith, Episode 207 Marcus Smith - The Intensive Care Unit To Running 30 Marathons In 30 Consecutive Days (which is still one of my all-time personal favourites) and most recently episode 253 on Making Yourself Mentally Tougher and Building The Ultra-mindset.   He is also the founder of Inner Fight in Dubai and the host of the great podcast by the same name.    EXPLICIT WARNING: This episode has more swearing than usual.     Here are some of the things we spoke about in today’s episode.   

• Getting personal growth through getting out of your comfort zone and seeking out adventure 
• Races vs your own challenges (for any endurance enthusiasts) 
• Using ultras, endurance and difficult challenges as a vehicle for self-discovery
• Getting to the root of real pain point so you can stay motivated towards your goals
• Why Marcus thinks people need to seek out challenges

• And much more.
