Description

Live large, do tough stuff and give back.

FIRE UP! shares some of the lessons Ive learned from the first twenty-five years of my life, from growing up in the bush to running across Australia. This is what fires me up every single day.

Im aware Im just one person among billions, many of whom are far wiser than I am.

While this is what works for me, by no means am I suggesting its some sort of guaranteed formula for success.You may read something that sparks a fire in your belly (as it does in mine), but ultimately it comes down to you having a red-hot crack.

I hope that, among these insightsand stories, youll findsome words of inspirationthat encourage you to chase your dreams andgive youthe self-belief to back yourself along the way.

Author Bio

Nedd Brockmann is a 25-year-old ex-sparky from Central West NSW who, at 23, became the fastest ever Australian to run across Australia. It was an incredible effort averaging over 80 kms a day for the nearly 4000 km run. He embarked on the run to challenge himself, but also wanted to use the opportunity to raise money for the homeless charity Mobilise. During his run, his daily Instagram updates captured the hearts and minds of Australia, culminating in an iconic moment at the finish line on Bondi Beach where more than 10,000 people welcomed him home in an emotional finish that will be remembered for years. His first book about his run, Showing Up, has been a bestseller and has been shortlisted for the Biography Book of the Year in the 2024 Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIA), and longlisted for the Indie Book Awards 2024. Nedds relentless focus on never giving up by just showing up has inspired thousands across the nation to take on new challenges, big and small!
