Highlights:

“I read a book called Operation Ironman and it was just brilliant and funny. He had a cancerous tumour on his back, and within four months, he was doing an Ironman. I thought, I wonder if I can do that? I'd never done an Ironman, or even a triathlon in my life.” - 5:30 - Sally Wilkinson

“Motivation is short lived. You have to use willpower, to get someone to want to do something, rather than do it because they have to.” - 12:45 - Sally Wilkinson

“I know how uncomfortable it is looking at other people's successes, but you have to be ready because we only get one amazing precious life. I want to live til I’m 100, I want to dance the funky chicken on my 100th party.” - 22:30 - Sally Wilkinson

“My mum always said ‘If it’s to be, it’s up to me’.” - 25:35 - Sally Wilkinson

“I wouldn’t have this business if it hadn’t all gone wrong. I can find huge gratitude in the s**t part of my life, and know that I wouldn't swap it for anything.” - 30:10 - Sally Wilkinson
