What does it take to keep working towards a goal set years earlier? In this longer Purposeful episode, Gary Robertson tells the story of reaching the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.

From the nerves of his first Ironman to the heat, wind and difficult decisions in Hawaii, Gary shares a personal account of preparation, setbacks and running his own race. He connects that experience to business and life: having a meaningful why, adapting your approach and recognising your own progress.
