Kevin Brady on Reaching Peak Health in Middle Age

Episode 33

On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation


In this week’s episode, I’m talking to entrepreneur, adventurer and world triathlon athlete Kevin Brady. After a near-death experience, Kevin made an immediate and significant change to say goodbye to a lifestyle full of busyness and stress and instead adopt a lifestyle focused on health and wellbeing. He describes how “I was pushing the pedal to the metal in every area of my life and my body basically surrendered”. As Kevin came to realize, being fit doesn’t mean you’re healthy. 

Kevin walks us through what he calls the four wheels of health, which we can use to assess ourselves and make changes to improve our well-being. We talk about his adventurous spirit and explore the relationship between risk and adventure. Kevin describes steps he’s taken to build more of what he loves doing into every day. And we explore how he’s rewired his brain to think differently about his healthcare options and the advice he gives his kids.

Finally, we build Kevin’s equation: (2i + 2c + 2bd)W +14e + 10s + [f + t]
