Create Brave: What happens when business and sport collide?

Episode 9. And it’s a big one. On the latest episode of Create Brave we welcome CEO of Puresport, ex-rugby player, and natural-born leader, Daniel Temm into the studio. We discuss everything from his journey and mindset to his core values for authenticity.

Here are several big moments in a nutshell from the podcast episode, available to stream now! 

What are Ep 9’s highlights? 

‘...the other side of hard’

We can’t stop thinking about Daniel’s resolute mindset. One quote from the episode that captures it perfectly is ‘everything you want is on the other side of hard’. It’s a belief that quickly became the impetus behind Puresport’s slogan, ‘For the Long Run’. Dan goes on to say that all of the best things in life are always the ones that you work hardest for. And we couldn’t put it better ourselves.

Rugby first. Business person always.

According to Dan, being a professional rugby player wasn’t even one of his biggest strengths (believe it or not). He was a dedicated trainer, an empowering leader, and a hard worker. All these lifelong qualities have led him to the CEO chair and it’s exactly where he feels he belongs. 

Running builds resilience

Poor weather conditions, sore knees, and the thought of “maybe I should stop?”. Every runner faces these moments at some point. But Dan feels that everyone who ignores them and pushes through builds resilience for the next run. A highly underrated skill that anyone can adapt and apply in real life scenarios.
