From Rugby Champion to Global Adventurer: Damian Browne with John Randles

In this episode, John Randles, CEO of Siren, sits down with Damian Browne, former professional rugby player and the first man to row across the Atlantic from New York to Galway. Browne shares his remarkable journey from team sports to extreme solo adventures, revealing how the values of trust and leadership he learned on the rugby field translated into conquering some of the world's most daunting challenges.

Damian opens up about his methodical approach to goal-setting and the power of keeping ambitions private until you're ready to pursue them. Rather than broadcasting his plans, he quietly prepared for years, saving money and researching his future adventures while still focused on his rugby career.
