In this insightful and heartwarming episode of the Lead with Courage podcast, host Cherie Canning and guest host Andy Canning sit down with Macca (Macaulay Ryan) from LSKD, a passionate runner and Movember ambassador. They dive into Macca's incredible journey of personal growth, mental health awareness, and the power of running.

Macca shares how his love for running transformed his life, from pushing through the tough moments to becoming an advocate for mental wellness. He discusses the symbolism behind his "Just Keep Running" tattoo and how it applies to both running and life’s challenges. Macca also opens up about his own struggles with mental health after a difficult breakup and how his dog, Kendrick, became his emotional support and life-changer.

The conversation explores Macca's journey to becoming a Movember ambassador, his commitment to raising mental health awareness, and the inspiring events he's spearheaded, including running 100km around a 1.8km loop as part of Movember’s fundraising efforts. The team also touches on Macca's unique approach to ultra-marathon running, where discipline and mental strength take centre stage.

This episode covers the intersection of running, mental health, and resilience, and hear how Macca embodies the LSKD values of moving fast, learning from mistakes, and always striving for one percent better.
