In this episode of Shit My Dad Taught Me, we sit down with Dr. Norm O’Reilly, sports business leader, author, educator, endurance athlete and father of four. Norm has written more than 20 books, advised major sports organizations and worked with Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic teams. We talk about his journey from growing up in Lindsay, Ontario to becoming a leading voice in sports business, completing 11 Ironman triathlons, climbing Aconcagua and qualifying for the Ironman World Championships. Norm also opens up about fatherhood, raising four kids, mentorship, leadership, lifelong learning and the legacy he hopes to leave his family.
