#241 - Luke Tasker: 59 Days at Sea and a Life Built on Family

<p>Luke Tasker is a full-time Vancouver firefighter, a former Team GB modern pentathlete, and one of the newest names in pro triathlon. He won Ironman Victoria in his debut and took fifth at IRONMAN 70.3 NorCal against a stacked field. But his real story isn&#39;t about how fast he&#39;s climbed. It&#39;s about a man who knows exactly what he&#39;s living for, and isn&#39;t shy about saying it.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about leaving the UK for one ski season and never going back, and the 59 days he spent on a four-man rowing boat around Britain. He shares the psychologist&#39;s exercise that kept that crew from falling apart. He opens up about a father he&#39;s no longer close to but refuses to resent, and about why he tells his best friend he loves him. We also get into the 12 seconds that cost him a Worlds slot, and his unapologetic atheism, which leads to a candid, respectful back-and-forth on faith, meaning, and what happens when it&#39;s all over.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a conversation about conviction: what it looks like to build a life around love and family when you believe this one is all you get, and what two people who see the world very differently can learn just by listening.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Luke’s IG:</strong> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/taskertri/">https://www.instagram.com/taskertri/</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Ways to Support the Show</strong>👇🏼</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Newsletter: ⁠</strong><a href="https://stupidquestions.show/pages/newsletter-signup">https://stupidquestions.show/pages/newsletter-signup</a></p>
