The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence is a strapline that resonated for obvious reasons and whatever field you happen to be in, that should be the goal for any business. Dean has a fascinating and entertaining story that has some very simple and clear messages about how to plan and execute an objective and exceed one’s expectations. I’d recommend anyone to listen to his story and am sure it will entertain and inform everyone, irrespective of gender, ethnicity and disability.

Listening to Dean makes you realize the potential within us all. His story is extraordinary - and he tells it brilliantly. But he’s also a record-breaker, athlete and warrior with a sense of humour. And a humility that sends you away wondering just what you could achieve too. I wish I could have a talk from Dean every day when I wake up.

Joe Fattorini Channel 5 Wine Show

I had the pleasure of hearing Dean speak about his PAH challenge in a packed room full of recreational cyclists. In his professional presentation, Dean captivated the whole audience with his passionate account of succeeding against the odds, recounting a heady mix of the trials and tribulations he faced down before and during his grueling 99 day challenge. I looking forward to the next installment in the life of this phenomenal adventurer!
