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.” Links mentioned in this episode: Donate to Fergal’s fundraiser for suicide prevention Mayo Roscommon Hospice & NorthWest Stop: Follow Fergal on Instagram Previous Guests and episodes mentioned: David McCourt - Part 1 and Part 2 Emily Hulbert Check out the Cycplus tiny e-Pumps and use the code STR for a 5% discount Support the show Buy me a coffee!
