Introduction - Setting the Scene

Pursuit Line Podcast

Today our hosts talk about…

• What Pursuit Line is all about: helping people to achieve peak performance. They strive to achieve this through a three pronged approach: Ed delivering inspirational talks, workshops both online and in-person, and ongoing consultancy programmes for businesses. They believe that the unique pairing of Phil’s military background and Ed’s athletic background is what makes Pursuit Line what it is.

• Ed Clancy’s background as a medal winning Olympic cyclist, and his quiet lifestyle outside of bikes. How his interest in performance came from his desire to be a better cyclist and become an Olympic champion. He realised that working on his mindset would help him achieve this goal and also be happy. Ed met Phil during this search to improve his mindset, performance and life.

• Phil Kelly’s background as a professional footballer until he was in his early 20s. He then did a series of odd jobs, including being a green taker for a golf course, before he eventually joined the military as a coach, which is where he got his interest in performance. He then left to start his own coaching company Pro Noctis.

• How success doesn’t lead to happiness, rather happiness leads to success. It’s important to make sure you are happy if you want to achieve amazing things. Mindset needs to come first. Success without happiness is the greatest kind of failure.

• How people commonly ignore the simple things: doing things we like with people we like. That comes first. Pursuit Line strives to be an organisation that can teach everyone this, bringing them closer to living a more fulfilling life. After all, a fulfilled life is a successful one.

• How it’s important to take stock and regularly appreciate what you have in life, as it’s the journey, not the destination, which brings you true happiness. There is beauty in the struggle. How can we help people become more aware of that beauty whilst they are in the struggle? That’s a question this podcast hopes to answer.

• Pursuit Line ambitions to build a community, so that anyone who engages with them can write in and share their stories and learnings. Pursuit hopes, in return, to help these people find their purpose and build the self-awareness needed to get through the struggles of life.
