On this episode of the Mile 40 Podcast, host Bishoy Tadros sits down with Onno Hayes Koelman, a former national champion water polo player from Stanford, mechanical engineer, and now a coach to C-suite executives at global giants like Google and Apple. Growing up in Australia, Onno Hayes Koelman’s journey was anything but ordinary—shaped by an international upbringing, family challenges, and the early loss of his brother, which inspired a relentless drive for growth, resilience, and empathy.
In this heartfelt conversation, Onno Hayes Koelman opens up about how formative moments, from being thrust into responsibility as a child to ultimately competing at the highest levels of sport, forged his passion for both personal mastery and empowering others. Together, he and Bishoy Tadros dive deep into the value of independent thinking, the power that comes with learning to reframe setbacks, and the importance of presence and gratitude—both in high-performance arenas and everyday life.
Whether you’re craving stories of overcoming adversity, insights into high-performance leadership, or just a thought-provoking look at what it means to grow, this episode is packed with the kind of wisdom that reminds us: the comeback really is greater than the setback.
