Sharing his impactful journey on stages across the globe, while working with senior leadership teams, executives, and professional athletes as a high-performance leadership coach – his frameworks provide structure and support for others to continually learn, grow, and perform at their best.

He’s ran through the Sahara desert, down Mt. Everest, and across a tropical forest in China without food or water. Luke completed a double Ironman triathlon, and created the world-first 2,000km in 12 days Ultimate Triathlon from Morocco to Monaco, with award winning documentaries made about these challenges, and he’s had books published as well.

He lived remotely in Nepal for months without electricity or running water to learn about the Nepalese culture and run up and down mountains all day long.
