What’s the longest you’ve ever run? 5, 13, maybe 26.2 miles? What If I told you this next guest ran 174 miles through the hills of Scotland? Crazy right? That’s what most people call him, but really, Tofe Evans, is a deep, loving soul, who has pushed himself mentally and physically to places most will never go. We'll discuss how Tofe’s darkest times have taught him most about himself, he'll tell us why he puts himself through these spectacular feats, & we'll learn about his Practical Resilience framework.

To some, he's known as "that kid" who ran an ultramarathon down the slopes of Mt Everest. However, to most, he's known as one of the world's youngest thought leaders on Practical Resilience and developing a Peak Performance Mindset. Tofe has completed over 60+ endurance events and when asked: "Why do you put your body through such torture?" he, with a smile, responds with  "It can't be any more painful than what I have had to overcome." 

To some, he's known as "that kid" who ran an ultramarathon down the slopes of Mt Everest. However, to most, he's known as one of the world's youngest thought leaders on Practical Resilience and developing a Peak Performance Mindset.Tofe Evans has completed over 60+ endurance events and when asked: "Why do you put your body through such torture?" he, with a smile, responds with "It can't be any more painful than what I have had to overcome." Tofe understands what it means to fight through adversity after barely making it out of his early twenties with his life. It was a losing battle for Tofe as depression and anxiety fuelled by drugs and alcohol abuse became a staple of his early life. After a terrifyingly close call, Tofe figured out how to channel all of his pain, anguish, and despair into a back-to-back series of insane physical challenges that many would consider impossible.In 2018, he released his first book 'Everyone Has A Plan Until Sh!t Hits The Fan,' which instantly became a bestseller and saw him travel around the world to speak at international conferences including SXSW.In just a few short years, Tofe went from his absolute lowest point in life to share and teach his methods for developing an UNBREAKABLE mindset. He calls it Practical Resilience. You can connect with Tofe on LinkedIn Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to connect.

As a thought leader on Practical Resilience, he teaches this to others so they can plan in advance of crisis and not be the bitch of their own brain. Since 2015, he has done endurance events for various causes ranging from 100 mile ultramarathons, an ultramarathon down Mt Everest to a 24hr treadmill challenge! Give it a look - it was one hell of a chat!

Tofe Evans | Thought Leader, Author & SpeakerThere will be a time in your life where you face a crisis; a recession, a death in the family, a bad business deal, or even a life-threatening situation. So how do we deal with these high-stressful moments?

Not that many years ago, Tofe Evans came close to ending his own life. Today he is a best selling author, an international speaker, and in his words, a boundary pusher. Tofe’s boundaries, when it comes to endurance, are what many of us would consider to impossibilities. You see Tofe runs ultra marathons (100k) and the most recent also included almost 6,000 steps. He doesn’t compete to win. He competes to see how far he can push himself. He does it to learn things about human resilience (in this episode he talks about a system he’s developed called “Practical Resilience).” Tofe also opens up about his challenges with mental health, his lifelong journey for knowledge (you can tell this guy is a voracious reader), and tells us about his best selling book, “Everyone Has a Plan Until Shit Hits the Fan.” We talk about the importance of mindset, why you need to embrace adversity, and how gratitude will change your definition of reality. Interesting, fascinating, inspiring...that is Tofe Evans. You can reach Tofe at www.tofe-evans.com. He’s also very active on LinkedIn and looking to make human connections. Anyone looking for a world class motivational speaker should get in touch with Tofe.

Embrace adversity because it is a blessing in disguise. Practical resilience is the concept of having the mental thought patterns to overcome challenges. This is explained more in Tofe Evan's book "Everyone Has a Plan Until Sh!t Hits the Fan".

Tofe Evans is constantly reinventing himself to advocate how anyone can rise above and be the best versions of themselves. The journey Tofe has been on these past few years have not only shaped his character but his endurance career literally saved his life... For the ones that are screaming to get out of that deadly deep dark rabbit hole known as ‘adversity’, you’re in good hands. Here is someone who knows this field exceptionally well with his fair share of the destructive toxin.   And where you may not think you'll come out of this dismal state, Tofe will guide you in the right direction with his lived experience and concept of Practical Resilience. That is the mental framework designed to have you able to withstand crisis and subsequently, increase your emotional intelligence so you can bounce back after every fall. This framework is explained through a simple, yet powerful formula that Tofe has worked countless hours on with psychologists, neuroscientists, behavioural scientists, and mental health experts.   There will be a time in your life where you face a crisis; a recession, a death in the family, a bad business deal, or even a life-threatening situation. So how do we deal with these high-stressful moments? That’s where you will learn about Practical Resilience to guide you mentally out of these adversarial and dismal situations. Tofe is a thought leader on resilience not on hacking the body to get you the set of abs you’ve always wanted. He's here so you have the mental artillery to hold yourself together in case of a traumatic crisis. When everyone focuses on having a six pack body they forget that having a six pack mind is more important.   Brace your seats because you’re about to embark a wild ride - a culmination of despair, mental health struggles, hardships, endurance, and more importantly, resilience.   Our episode today is all about how to go from depression and anxiety to a state of gratitude, through kindness and helping others.   Tofe shares advice on opening up, empathy, and pushing through mental obstacles. Tofe describes his journey from his lowest point to being an endurance athlete and author on tour. He is all about breaking down the stigma of mental health.   He leaves listeners with the advice, “Adaptability and resilience are key. Focus on what you can control.”
