Description
Today we spoke with Damian Browne - Extreme Adventurer of Project Empower and the First Person in History to Row from New York to Ireland
Damian Browne has just rowed 5000 km across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Galway, after 112 days at sea.
An explorer, peak performer, and former professional rugby player, we spoke with Damian on this show in Aug. 2020. What he had achieved up to then and since is truly remarkable!
Here he shared his story, the tools he leans into, and the exercises that help him navigate the most extraordinary physical and emotional journeys man has undertaken, such as this recent row.
Damian spoke about visualisation, living his masterpiece...and his daily pursuit to challenge himself in all ways, physically and mentally.
Project Empower. Wow.
What's next?
