🎙 Dr Steve Day interviews Kevin Brittain, a successful entrepreneur, marathon runner, and philanthropist who is running barefoot around the world! Steve gets to the bottom of Kevin’s belief that running is the ultimate stress-busting tool for the modern businessman and entrepreneur. He also emphasizes how none of this would be possible without effective business systemization.
Kevin holds two Guinness World Records for ‘Fastest Marathon Runner Dressed As a Ninja.’ Currently, he is vlogging his round-the-world journey of 40,075 km. He does this while raising money for needy children.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: How business systemization frees up your time so you can focus on things that truly matters!
- Kevin and Steve met on one of Steve’s first-ever courses for Systems and Outsourcing. It resulted in him being able to utilise Steve’s methods to step away from his property business through systemization.
- Kevin has been raising money for children’s charities since he was 11. He lost a friend to myeloma and witnessed the suffering it caused to his friends and family.
- When using running to raise money, sponsorship often drops off after the first few challenges. So Kevin found he had to always go bigger and better. It is how he came up with the idea of running around the world. He’s also vlogging his experience at the same time.
- He created the brand Runpreuner and a charity to raise one million pounds. He raised it for Great Ormond Street Hospital, Children and Cancer UK, BBC Children in Need, Operation Orphan, Internet Watch Foundation, Phab Kids and Long Covid Kids.
- Running has reduced Kevin’s stress immensely, and he believes it can do the same for you. You can also join his RED challenge! You run or walk at least a mile every day for either 30, 90, or 365 days.
BEST MOMENTS: Free your time through business systemization
‘I was a bigger landlord back then- had 96 houses at the time and around 250 tenants, and I built this up from scratch. I had a team of people in place, but for all of the glamour that the property industry had, it was anything but glamorous. It was with maintenance and tenant management. I was doing 60 to 80-hour weeks.’ – Kevin Brittain
‘It was such an incredible life-changing experience for you, as you said, but for me, it was one of the reasons, you are one of the reasons why I decided to go all-in on this and make this my mission in life.’ – Steve Day
‘I thought, ‘how would I fundraise?’ and I used running because it was something most people fundraise for, and it’s quite an easy way to fundraise because it’s putting yourselves through some incredibly hard challenges.’ – Kevin Brittain
‘I’m going to set a crazy challenge. I’m going to try to run on consecutive days whilst vlogging a distance of one lap around the world. I thought that would be the ultimate ultra-marathon.’ – Kevin Brittain
‘I’ve been running since my mid-twenties, and I think the times I don’t massively affect me. Whatever reason it kicks in, work, stress, whatever, you can slip out of that habit whether your habit is running or walking or cycling or just going outdoors and being with your kids, having that mental release is so important.’ – Steve Day

ABOUT THE HOST
Steve used to be a slave to his business, but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change how he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely, and after totally nailing this concept, he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve has been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.
Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don’t know how to create systems or get the right help.
Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants. That way, you will stop feeling overwhelmed and start making more money.
