#13 - John Barry - Letting go for Better Results, Chasing Service (not Trophies), and Why Challenging Yourself is a Key to Life

"One thing that reflects life in cycling is that once you stop pedaling, you'll stop."

John Barry is a small-town-born entrepreneur that gains his biggest fulfilments in life through spending time with family, providing dedicated care to his clients, and living a life in purpose for something greater than himself. By following his early childhood aspirations and entering in as a third-generation real estate representative, John learned what in means to strive for a state of constant, never-ending improvement. As he reflects on his countless professional awards and career accolades, we discuss the "chase" that so many have for those awards and the fallacy behind it.

In this episode we explore just how important the little things in life, how and why challenging yourself is so critical, and understanding when it makes sense to acknowledge perfectionism to "let off the reins", amongst several other ideas.

Much of this is centred in the lessons John has learned from his cycling and fundraising days. To date, he has raised well over $100,000 in support of cancer research and initiatives by enduring long distance cycling challenges. His most recent one being the 7 Days in May, where he bikes nearly 1,200km over 7 days for pancreatic cancer. Should you have any funds or time to spare, please consider checking out more of John's story as 100% of the proceeds go directly to fund research.
