I knew nothing about this guy but was 100% expecting an Australian accent.

[@raphaelantoine7331]

I can tell he's already pushing boundaries by looking at his hair

[@alarj8341]

Excellent 😂

[@ariannazorzi5132]

I love this episode... Look like an older brother talking with his younger brother... Love love the dialogues

[@RealisticMgmt]

Nedd is who you get when you ask an A.I to show you a typical Aussie.

[@megriley9841]

As an Aussie I find this fucking hilarious 🤣 love it

[@danfoster-hy8mo]

I came for the content. I stayed for the hair.

[@ataraxigrace822]

I came for the hair. Stayed for the content.

[@MorganWoolsey]

Business in the front. Party in the back. Badass mullet!!

[@Chrislawn17]

Went straight to comments to see what everyone’s saying about his hair 🤣

[@darvs_offical]

When you smile to cover your pain. It should not be a sadness, but a triumph over life’s evils. Do not allow the pain of today take away the peace of tomorrow. Sit, meditate for you have no need to medicate. The only distraction should be of one’s hart and those we love. No matter how hard we clime we are nothing without the hundreds of people who impact our lives. Remember before you set the world on fire to remember who help you be your best you.

[@matthewedwards8181]

Great one, Chris. I have heard Ned with Rich Roll after the Aussie Run and now the Track run. Ned's tales are candid, and I admire his honesty. I look forward to what you do next.

[@folee_edge]

Starting with the mullet in the thumbnail, I have just gained epic mental fortitude.

Aaah Ned! Read his book it’s epic. Great human 😊 this should be a good chat!

[@jameskirker]

Best guest yet

[@danielgmyt]

Great episode. I was introduced to Nedd from the Rich Roll podcast and really appreciate his approach, vulnerability, naivety and youth (not that I’m much older). It’s great to see an honest conversation in the midst of this insane feat. Would be really interested in a conversation with you and Wesley Huff. Might be too orthodox as he’s a Christian apologist but I think you’d have an interesting back and forth. Appreciate your work 🙏

[@inglesconmatt]

Could tell he was an Aussie just by looking at him 🤣

[@PhilHug1]

Chris, please bring Isaac Arthur onto the podcast! He is a great source for space, futurism, and technology

[@CHICKENmcNUGGIESMydude]

[@EFIT_206]

[@pricklycatsss]

Me when my shaver runs out of battery before I have to go for a job interview

[@garethtian8315]

I love this Aussie accent.

[@dd7aa]

Ive no idea who this man is but from the thumbnail i new instantly he was from oz lol 👍🏻

[@TheJamiedickie]

Some mental toughness youd need, waking up wi that hairdo every morning 😂

[@yuzaR-Data-Science]

becoming stronger due to challenges like bullying might be a case of survivorship bias. namely, the 1% of folks who became stronger talk about the positive effects of bullying, but I could imagine (don't have real data on it, so I speculate) that 99% of people who were bullied in school didn't make it, but became alcoholics, are depressed or just lead a normal non-visible life, like most of us and are ok with that. they might have accepted, or just forgot about childhood dramas and are glad that it (difficult childhood) is over.

[@JonJon69420]

stop being a puccy

[@alessiog8363]

came for the hair, stayed for the story

[@johnnyb002]

THE MENTAL TOUGHNESS NEEDED JUST TO HAVE THAT HAIR.

[@NathanNGM]

What a bogan! I love it!

[@C-24-Brandan]

Him & Ross Edgley now need too/should come up with some ridiculously insane physical challenge to do together even though it's obvious Ross is and has been on PEDs.

[@mark.dowdle]

Two great minds in one place. Love it🔥

[@kennethmalnati]

Appreciate the consistent content Chris 🫡

[@justins4274]

All you need is money and your mental toughness will be good.

[@fkratz]

Unless you're ill. Health is way more important than money.

[@michaelkendall1263]

Not true in the slightest. Usually the opposite

[@hawgslam4]

all you need is mental toughness and you can build your outside life, including money

[@JimmyNaraineOfficial]

The embodiment of resilience.

[@C-24-Brandan]

He's one crazy bastard. Running 1000 miles on a circular track in a 10 day time limit is crazy & so awful even thinking of it. It's impressive he did it even though it took 12.5 days, but Jesus again that sounds absolutely terrible mentally & physically. Running in a circle on a track by yourself, again so much worse than trail running or road running even though those would be awful as well. Probably delirious which is why he chose that hair cut 😂 but hey he raised/made a buncha money at the end.

[@hughlawson1051]

The ultimate mullet. Aussies can get by with a lot of iffyshit.

[@sandinogallese8221]

This is the most Australian looking person I've ever seen...

[@MorganWoolsey]

When you start shaving your head after a traumatic life-event and then your girl says, "but I love your long hair." 😅

[@stvbrsn]

Is that a genuine Australian mullet-hawk?

[@oskaripaukkunen7971]

Bro looks like if Robert Lewandowski and James Smith had a baby

[@conora.1192]

He looks like his name is Nedd Brockman lol. Jokes aside, he seems like a pretty cool dude

[@johnnyb002]

MULLET OF THE YEAR. BUSINESS UP FRONT, PARTY IN THE BACK.

[@dilemaz85]

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE......

[@vaughanchapman2930]

[@benchoflemons398]

That’s a hairstyle

[@danfoster-hy8mo]

It's very powerful.

[@annette3699]

Dude, what happened to your head?

[@folee_edge]

Crocs

[@pricklycatsss]

Shaver battery ran out

[@pricklycatsss]

Australian accent is required to have that hair

[@JonJon69420]

the hairdo comes with an accent, try it

[@trokut724]

bro looking like a my little pony character

[@mihaa.7498]

I can tell he also hates a good hairstyle

[@ThingsWorseThanDeath]

I’m sorry, but these “pushing the boundaries of mental toughness” videos come off as incredibly pretentious. To push his “mental toughness boundaries” heeee…. ran a lot. Hmm, ok. There are people out there who have been through unbelievably horrific life experiences, who have *actually* pushed the boundaries of human mental toughness to survive the horrific things they’ve survived, and come out alive on the other end. This year I just found out my 64 yr old (married to my mother) father slept with my 28 yr old girlfriend, got her pregnant, and for the last 5 years they’ve been lying pretending their daughter was mine. Now this innocent 5 yr old little girl thinks I’m her father. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Lie to her and keep pretending to be her father? Or abandon her because she’s not mine, so this poor little girl will forever think her father abandoned her at 5 yrs old. This little girl is going to have a lifetime of trauma to survive through. SHE will be an example of *actual* mental toughness boundary breaking. *I* am an example of pushing the boundaries of mental toughness, trying to survive this horrific trauma. (Which I’m not sure I will survive actually). I click on videos like this sometimes, looking for guidance, looking for an example of how to have mental toughness so tough that it pushes the boundaries of human mental effort. And, this is what I get.. “Hey I ran a whole bunch in 12 days.. you can make it through anything if I can RUN A WHOLE BUNCH.” It’s actually almost offensive, videos like these. To those of us who have *actually* had to push the boundaries of human mental toughness to get through the horrific things we’ve had to survive through. I’m sorry if that’s off-putting to people like this runner guy. I’m not trying to be mean just to be mean. I’m sure his run truly was difficult, really. But, his feat *PALES* in comparison to some of the things others have had to truly push the boundaries of mental toughness to get through. And, this video title, paired with this guy’s story of “running a lot,” is rather off-putting to me. Someone who’s desperately looking for guidance and a way to survive my horrific life that I had no choice in being put through.

[@Phawkinify]

Dear stranger, I am sorry to hear all that you have been through. I hope you can find the strength to endure. I want to acknowledge and thank you for choosing to be a father to a child that is not yours genetically. But for all intents and purposes that is your daughter, and it is a deeply honorable, compassionate, and powerful thing you do for that girl. You can overcome all of the challenges laid before you. To your point, this video speaks of a voluntary type of suffering. And it's purpose is most likely to encourage those people to bring upon some kind of burden and suffering upon themselves in order for some good to occur. For Nedd, this was raising millions of dollars for homelessness. This is admirable and worthy of recognition. It is not meant necessarily to encourage those who have undergone involuntary suffering for lack of a better phrase. Life is unfair in all ways, suffering and good fortune. I am sorry you sought out some encouragement here and found none. I'm sure there are many other videos that speak to trauma and pain that you might find more encouraging. I pray you find community and compassion which gives you the strength to continue making good from evil. I don't know if you have faith, but a faith community gave me strength to survive my own involuntary suffering. Once again I acknowledge all that you are doing for that girl. You are a gift in her life she does not know the full depth of. I see you stranger, I thank you and pray for you. God bless you brother.

[@jaromeasdale7157]

it's not a competition, two things can be true at once, both situations take a different type of mental toughness, not once did either of them say the running made them more mentally tough than other people. The bloke also didn't run to show how tough he was. His goal was to raise money for homelessness and used his running as a means to an end and raised $2.5m.

[@BrandonCourt]

Yeah. These sports bros, it's mostly bs pontificating. Mental toughness happens mostly in unseen places by people who walk past you on the street. And to chime in on your story.. What the previous commenter Phawkinify said is completely reprehensible. You deserve to have your own life and family - or at least try again at it. The fact you even posted your dissatisfaction about the whole situation I think answers your own question. Also, I strongly suggest the book "the courage to be disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi. All the best.

[@PhilHug1]

Gotta be mentally tough to have that haircut

[@7FilmsProductions]

💪🏽💫

[@FarmTraveler]

That is........a hairstyle.

[@farinshore8900]

The key to solving homelessness is to be found in economic policy. It takes people like Prince William to change policy.

[@TheWallforUsefulidiots]

The guests hair cut says im an idiot or i want to be one.

[@Futureteenagecaveartist]

L take but go off

[@annette3699]

NOBODY CAN TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY WITH THAT HEAD.

[@TheWallforUsefulidiots]

The mental toughest was your haircut

[@IssaMeZane]

You got a lot of reflecting to do LOL
