Back to EpisodesCycling Adventure From Rossie to Aussie: Fergal Guihen (Pt 1)
Description
From not knowing how to fix a puncture to leaving Ireland to cycle to Australia via Iran, Afghanistan, China and beyond, Fergal Guihen shows how saying yes to fear can change everything.
Listen if: You’ve ever thought, “I’d love to take off on an adventure… but I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
Key takeaways:
- Fear is the compass: When faced with two routes, Fergal picked the scarier one and discovered for him this would lead to the richest experiences.
- Hospitality beats headlines: The countries that made him most nervous (Iran, Afghanistan, China) turned out to be the most generous.
- Commit out loud: Telling others he was going made backing out impossible. Accountability is the fuel for your adventure.
Golden quote: “I’d rather try and fail than not try at all.”
