EP16 - Conor O'Keeffe - This Is The Time That You Fight - Liking Yourself - Failure, Triumph, Honesty
Only Human PodcastShow Notes
A 28 year old ultra runner from Cork, Conor O'Keeffe says it as it is. He doesn't pull any punches in how he lives his life with remarkable honesty and commitment. Formerly a Mai Tai boxer, in May of last year he won the Enduroman 200 Mile Ultra Race 2019, becoming the youngest person to finish the race. A race which hadn't had a finisher since 2016. He hasn't stopped there with a list of endurance and fighting feats to his name, most recently raising over €30k for Pieta House by running around his patio for 24 hours. He is passionate about being an authentic example of questioning the mental demons that catch us all at times, speaking openly about both struggle, failure and triumph. Much of this episode is about his martial arts career and what shines strongest is his his spirit. But most of all Conor is one of the most decent human beings I know. He has a massive heart full of compassion and is a leader in times where many feel lost. Enjoy.

I’ve been avoiding making this episode. I don’t necessarily believe in disability, I believe in people and people have diverse abilities.
