This episode is one not to miss with adventurer Barry Hayes.
I first met Barry back in 2014 when he had rowed the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii with no previous experience ocean rowing experience.
Barry founded Shark Bait Socials Ltd, helping ocean rowers, endurance athletes, and expedition teams tell high-impact stories. In the last five years, expeditions he’s worked on have raised £43 million for charity, with a goal of £100 million by summer 2028.
He’s not just behind the camera—he’s been on the oars:
Pacific Ocean (2014): world’s first human-powered race on that ocean
Indian Ocean (2018): another life-shaping crossing
Barry’s recent TEDx digs into resilience, purpose and honest vulnerability—the same qualities that made his episode of Reframe Your Mindset for Success a listener favourite.

Tapping into Barry's mindset on this episode has been insightful, his story is amazing and an episode not to be missed. As Barry says himself on the episode "So, physically, pretty much everyone listening could row an ocean tomorrow. I can guarantee that. It's the mental side of things. That's the mindset to do it in the first place, or to want to do it in the first place or to achieve it in the first place. That is absolutely key."
Barry shares inspiring lessons on: Building resilience, redefining success, and turning setbacks into growth.
Let me know what you think of the episode.
