Ep. 23 - Lisa Tamati | New Level New Devil

“Sometimes when you know too much you can actually hinder yourself and when you don’t; you’re naive and you just bowl on in. Sometimes that’s when you’ll get the best results.”

- Lisa Tamati is the epic persons epic person. 

Whenever I've referenced her to past guests it has inevitably elicited a response somewhere in the vicinity of awe.

I could easily have filled an entire episode with the retelling of any one of Lisa’s epic quests:

  • Crossing the Libyan dessert by foot whilst avoiding army patrols (way what?)

  • Completing 140 Ultra Marathons (and counting)

  • Rehabilitating her mother from a devastating brain aneurism to a near full recovery despite all advice to the contrary given by multiple medical professionals. EPICCCC!

But I am compelled to explore the human BEHIND the extraordinary.

What follows is a candid discussion with a human doing epic. 

Lisa was gracious enough to open up about the challenges of being a multifaceted entrepreneur / elite sports person and to delve into some lesser-known adventures in the process; gate-crashing a Basel world exhibition with nothing but a bag of precious Paua pearls and crazy infectious enthusiasm? 

EPIC!

This episode is especially relevant to those considering or actively pursuing a living from their ideas. Those crazy few willing to 'take the red pill' and journey deep into the vocation void.

Dig into bio hacking, the power of determination and the risk in being the epitome of grit when it comes to pursuing the entrepreneur life in this episode of the Doing Epic Stuff Podcast.
