About this episode

We can all harness the power of intrinsic motivation – it can be the reason we get out of bed in the morning, go for that run or push ourselves out of our comfort zone.


Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my new weekly podcast for your mind, body and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.


Today’s clip is from episode 73 of the podcast with strongman swimmer and adventurer, Ross Edgley.


He’s the first ever swimmer to circumnavigate the whole of Great Britain without ever setting foot on land. This is just one of his extraordinary accomplishments, and in this clip Ross explains what he’s learned about mindset and the power of intrinsic motivation.


Ross talks about his epic journey, how he kept going, and why understanding our true motivations can be so powerful.


It doesn’t matter where you start, just start somewhere.
