From Investment Banking to the Marathon des Sables

from The Yorkie Talkies Talk · host Emma Shipley

In this episode, I sit down with Lyn to talk about how a simple, practical decision to start running turned into a journey through some of the world’s toughest endurance challenges.What started as a way to fit exercise around the unpredictable demands of investment banking gradually evolved into completing the six World Marathon Majors, an Ironman, and the Marathon des Sables—a 250km self-sufficient race across the Sahara Desert.But what stands out most in this conversation isn’t the scale of the achievements, it’s the mindset behind them.
