---MORE ON PAUL WATKINS---

Paul Watkins is probably best described as a cross between Harry Potter and Bear Grylls. Starting out as a local pharmacist in Warrnambool, he has spent time as a builder, property developer, entrepreneur, public speaker and trail runner. Over the last decade he has built a considerable resume of mountain climbing and adventure racing – covering high altitude mountains on all seven continents, completing the Kokoda Track twice, as well as some of the most gruelling ultra-marathons on the planet, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle.

Paul blends decades of extreme adventure and a successful business career with both a scientific and philosophical approach to optimising performance. From high schools to C-suites he speaks to the power of building discipline and anti-fragility – to build an inner narrative that puts you at the very front of the pack.
