When life pushed Ben Logan to breaking point, he discovered that the same skills needed to survive in the mountains could help him survive almost anything.
Former professional triathlete and Logan Performance founder Ben Logan joins Sophie and Nick to share a remarkable story of resilience, leadership and finding purpose through adversity.
After a childhood impacted by domestic violence, Ben found an escape in endurance sport, eventually becoming a professional triathlete. Today, he takes individuals and teams deep into the mountains around Wānaka, where helicopters, survival challenges, freezing conditions, remote backcountry and cold-water immersion become a training ground for resilience, leadership and performing under pressure.
Ben also shares the moment he had to stand up again. Within weeks, he faced a marriage separation, his mother’s declining health and the devastating loss of his brother. Faced with leading a major wilderness expedition just days later, Ben turned to the very tools he teaches others: vulnerability, preparation, teamwork and a clear sense of purpose.
It’s a powerful conversation about discovering what we’re capable of when life puts everything we’ve learned to the test.
