Conquer your fears and build up a plan to over come

High Performance ultra marathon Jason Cooper

This weekend, I conquered my second Ultra marathon this year, navigating the rugged trails, bogs, and rocky paths of the Dublin Wicklow mountains. This 50k -30 miles journey was especially significant for me, just three weeks after a race-ending ankle injury.

Determined to prove to myself that I could bounce back, I ran for a cause bigger than myself, raising funds for cancer research in honour of my late father. Losing him was a profound experience that inspired me to push forward with resilience.

Key lessons I learned from this journey that apply to life and business:

✅Learn from Mistakes, Each mistake teaches us something new. Just like rolling my ankle taught me the importance of preparation and listening to my body, failures in business bring insights that drive us forward.

✅Stay Present Running an Ultramarathon requires intense focus on the present moment, silencing internal doubts. In professional life, staying present helps manage stress and make better decisions.

✅Having clear goals and determination is fundamental to your success, whether you are running a race or leading a project.

✅Whether on a tricky trail or in business, adaptability and thoughtful action make all the difference. Challenges will arise, but taking time to reflect and adapt is essential.

I hope that my journey inspires other people to pursue their goals regardless of how difficult they may seem.

This race honours my father's memory, contributes to a cause that affects millions, and hopefully inspires others along the way. Cancer research funding can be found at

Five years ago, I hit ‘record’ for the very first time on The Global Sales Leader Podcast. I didn’t have a perfectly soundproof studio, a production team, or even a long-term plan—just a fire in my belly and a deep desire to have conversations that mattered. Now, entering the fifth year of hosting conversations with extraordinary business leaders, I’ve become even more selective—every episode must echo my core belief: dialogue, when done right, is a catalyst for change.

THREE KEY INSIGHTS People Buy Energy, Not Just Expertise In every conversation, I’ve learned that what resonates most isn’t jargon or perfectly structured advice—it’s human energy. That passion, vulnerability, and truth that comes through when a guest shares their “why” is what sticks. People buy people. Not titles. Relationship Capital is the New ROI From Philip Squire to Tom Ziglar, my guests often echo this: long-term trust outperforms short-term gains. Whether you're selling software or pitching a keynote, it's your ability to build relational equity—emotionally and intellectually—that defines your success trajectory. Podcasting Isn’t a Side Hustle—It’s a Relationship Accelerator Your voice in someone’s ears is intimacy at scale.

We talk about the use of humor to humanize the whole selling process. We talk about building trust and resilience. We talk about a little bit of neuroscience as it pertains to buyers and sellers. Jason does a little bit of research and work in that category. Those following us closely know I guested on Jason's podcast, The Global Sales Leader Podcast, which was super fun. We’re looking forward to continuing the conversation on the show.
