What does it really take to break a world record — and then walk away from the title?

In this episode of The Lonely Chapter, world-record endurance athlete Sean Conway opens up about the mindset, philosophy and inner drive behind his extraordinary life of adventure.

Sean shares how he approaches world records, why he embraces a “90% chance of failure,” and how fear, pain and purpose fuel his biggest challenges.

We unpack Sean’s approach to resilience, problem-solving, identity, obsession, and what he’s learned from years of pushing the limits of human endurance.

Whether you’re drawn to extreme challenges, personal growth, or honest conversations about what it takes to do something remarkable, this episode offers rare insight into a truly unique mind.
