Listen "Dream Chaser turned Dream Achiever, with Gareth Duncan"
Episode Synopsis
On today’s episode I speak to the GD Industries CEO and founder Gareth Duncan about how he went from a dreamer to an achiever.
During this episode we look at how a career in journalism allowed Gareth access to some of the top athletes in South Africa. Through interviewing them he got inspired and it forced him to raise his standards of what he thought he could do. According to Gareth the most valuable lesson that he learned though this is that these elite athletes were human too, they faced their own share of hardships and adversity, yet they did not let this deter them from their mission.
In 2013, now equipped with this relentless approach to his goals, Gareth decided to quit his job and pursue the path of entrepreneurship. Gareth shares how scary this decision to leave a stable income was, especially since this was an unconventional path. But Gareth had a mission, and he was not prepared to conform.
Gareth also reflects on how a holiday to Thailand gave birth to GD suits.
During this episode we speak about how the definition of success is often misguided, with a materialistic narrative centring around what people see at face value.
In addition, we look at the value of selling yourself on your dream, being open to constantly evolving and embracing the journey.
Stay tuned, this is an episode not to be missed.
