Using the Power of Possibility to Succeed; with Alexandra Andre

In todays episode we met with Alexandra Andre: a coach, runner, author, speaker, mum and all round inspirational human being!

She talked to us about her approach to running a marathon and an ironman, and what it meant to break through her own barriers and use the team around her to achieve her wild and crazy goals.

All of her lessons and learnings are applicable to business, life in general, or any specific goal.

It was a fabulous conversation!


Here’s a summary of what we discussed:

05:30 - her first big crazy goal

Here’s some information about our guest:


Alexandra Andre

Marathoner, IRONMAN Finisher, Coach, Author, Speaker and Solo Mum.

Alexandra attributes a large part of her journey to her 1st Marathon because achieving it invited her to see the world for its possibilities. And to not let limitations (self imposed or otherwise) ever truly limit us.

She believes we are all more capable than we could ever imagine, and we owe it to ourselves and the world, to live our potential.

Her book, The Power of Possibility has been described as a must-read for anyone, but particularly runners and those with a big goal in mind.
