Clearing your path to Adventure | Paul Watkins | TEDxWarrnambool

We are the stories we tell and Paul Watkins has quite the story too share with the world as well as offering insight how you don’t need to be a superhero to do the heroic. Paul Watkins is probably best described as a cross between Harry Potter and Bear Grylls. Starting out as a local pharmacist, he has spent time as a builder, property developer, entrepreneur, public speaker and trail runner. He has climbed, trekked and adventured in Tanzania, Argentina, Alaska, the Arctic, Antarctica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, India, Jordan and Nepal to name a few. He has also managed to race in some of Australia and the world’s toughest ultra-marathons - including being one of only six people to ever finish and win the 614km 6633 Arctic Ultra. His training for these expeditions also led him to become an avid student of the nuanced art of endurance training and a regular speaker on the topics of mental toughness, emotional resilience and personal discipline. Paul describes himself as the only forklift driving, ultra-racing Pharmacist who has an MBA but is also handy with an ice-axe. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
