From couch to elite ultra-endurance athlete, CEO and author — 14 Ironmans, 35 hospitalisations, one UNLIMITED mindset.
Jason Dunn was a self-described couch dweller and smoker until the age of 34, when a decision to take the harder road set in motion one of the more extraordinary personal transformations in Australian speaking. He became a 14-time Ironman competitor — including the 2004 Hawaii Ironman World Championships — a two-time silver medallist at the Australian 100km elite road running championship, a Western States 100 silver buckle finisher, and a two-time Tan Ultra 100k winner. Along the way he survived 35 hospitalisations and came close to death on several occasions, finding in each setback the raw material for what he now calls an UNLIMITED mindset.
Beyond sport, Dunn is a successful CEO, company founder and entrepreneur — commissioned as the youngest artist in the world by the Intercontinental Hotel Group in 1982, recipient of the 2012 Australian International Design Award, and a guest of the Royal Family at Buckingham Palace in 2017. He is also the author of UNLIMITED: The Art of Being Limitless. His programmes translate athletic frameworks — gratitude, perspective, mindfulness, purpose — into daily practices that corporate teams can actually use.
In keynotes and high-performance workshops, Jason draws on both the physical extremes and the business reality of reinventing yourself from scratch. He speaks about banishing procrastination, building resilience through adversity, achieving goals that once seemed impossible, and becoming what he calls a 'well-human'. His sessions are practical, direct and built around frameworks that participants take back to their work and their lives.
