Summary
Lawrence is joined by Scott McDermott, Coach, Ultra Endurance Athlete and Speaker. Scott Fell in love with Ultraman, which is 2.5 times longer than an Ironman. At his 2nd Ultraman World Championships, he crashed his bike at nearly 70 kph, breaking his shoulder, arm, ribs, and skull. He nearly died that day and through a long, painful and gritty 3-year recovery, he made it back to the world championships to place 25th overall. This remarkable journey was made into an award winning documentary; "Living the Warrior's Code". Today, Scott enjoys coaching people to reach their full potential in spite of any obstacles.
