I can’t ever say, that I really felt inspired by anyone doing things like this, and I think mostly it’s because it’s so glitzy and fake, filled with motivational quotes and all this semi religious bullshit. But then you have Russ, he’s like you everyday dirtbag. Comes out with the cheeky bravado like you do when you are chatting it up with your mates, and he shows us just what is possible with real determination, just getting “stuck in”. And for all of that obviously humbled by the experience, and humbled by the right things. Honestly this man is actually “a true inspiration” and for once that phrase actually means something.
