106 – What if…You DIDNâT KNOW What You Know?
Inspired by a night out with his mates, Mike, Mark, Sean and Ben David focuses on one of the stories that he had shared with them while out at the Pub. After waking up after just 3 hours sleep he reflects on the power of his conversation with Mark that went on to the wee hours, long after everyone else was tucked in sleeping. Their all night marathons (which occur often) always end up challenging David to step into more of the juice of life. In this show you will learnâŚ.. The Story of a simple Farmer âCliff Youngâ who changed a nation The power of the things that we donât know The âBannisterâ Paradigm Shift The importance of âGuy Timeâ Davidâs 30 Day Pledge that the Naysayers Said was Not Possible What Tim Ferriss Thinks About âOutliersâ 10,000 Hr Rule Lynn Shatters a Record and Sets a New Paradigm in Motion A Challenge to You to Ask What If? Music in the show by âColdplayâ Songs â What If â Yellow – Clocks The Story of Cliff Young âThe Cliff Young Shuffleâ An Unlikely Competitor ďżź Cliff Young Every year, Australia hosts 543.7-mile (875-kilometer) endurance racing from Sydney to Melbourne. It is considered among the world’s most grueling ultra-marathons. The race takes five days to complete and is normally only attempted by world-class athletes who train specially for the event. These athletes are typically less than 30 years old and backed by large companies such as Nike. In 1983, a man named Cliff Young showed up at the start of this race. Cliff was 61 years old and wore overalls and work boots. To everyone’s shock, Cliff wasn’t a spectator. He picked up his race number and joined the other runners. The press and other athletes became curious and questioned Cliff. They told him, “You’re crazy, there’s no way you can finish this race.” To which he replied, “Yes I can. See, I grew up on a farm where we couldn’t afford horses or tractors, and the whole time I was growing up, whenever the storms would roll in, I’d have to go out and round up the sheep. We had 2,000 sheep on 2,000 acres. Sometimes I would have to run those sheep for two or three days. It took a long time, but I’d always catch them. I believe I can run this race.” When the race started, the pros quickly left Cliff behind. The crowds and television audience were entertained because Cliff didn’t even run properly; he appeared to shuffle. Many even feared for the old farmer’s safety. The Tortoise and the Hare ďżź All...
