Grant Walker has completed a feat very few have. The Moab 240. A renowned endurance race, 240 miles long, across the Moab desert, that not even David Goggins completed on his first attempt. What’s even more impressive is, Grant completed the race just four years after taking up running!
Join me as I chat to Grant about the race, his NZ-based call center business, plus loads more.
