How Brady Nankervis Ran 280 Miles on 12 Minutes of Sleep

Brady Nankervis joins Tommy not long after his remarkable backyard ultra debut, where he completed 68 yards, earned a place on the Australian team, and discovered just how deeply he was willing to suffer.

They explore sleep deprivation, hallucinations, mental resilience and why sharing the burden may be a greater sign of strength than staying silent.

Brady also opens up about leaving a secure career, repeatedly failing, building an audience and learning to back himself.

A raw conversation about hard things, self-belief, and finding out who you really are when quitting feels like the easiest option.
