They’ve swum oceans, scaled mountains, launched empires, and shattered expectations. But before they did any of it, someone, maybe even themselves, thought: “You can’t do that.” Hosted by Sam Penny, Why’d You Think You Could Do That? dives into the minds of people who said “screw it” and went for it anyway. From adventurers and elite athletes to wildcard entrepreneurs and creative renegades, each episode unpacks the one question they all have in common: “Why'd you think you could do that?” If you’re wired for more, haunted by big ideas, or just sick of playing it safe, this is your show.

Action: Finding Meaning in Failure with Mark Agnew

This week, we’ve walked through the extraordinary journey of Mark Agnew.
 On Tuesday, we explored his Spark, Struggle, and Breakthrough.
 On Thursday, you heard the full interview — the humiliations, the storms, the polar bears, and the redemption of becoming the first to kayak the Northwest Passage.

Today, it’s about bringing it all together — because stories inspire us, but action transforms us.

In this Action episode, I’ll guide you through three practical steps inspired by Mark’s story:

  • Reframe failure — Don’t label it as the end. Call it Act Two of your story and ask: What could this moment be preparing me for?
  • Resilience is not toughness — Flexibility, humour, and leaning on others make us stronger than grit alone.
  • Take a small act of courage — Complete the sentence: “Even though I’m afraid of ____, I will ____ anyway.”

And to close the loop on the Spark → Struggle → Breakthrough → Interview → Action arc, you’ll finish this sentence:

👉 “One thing I will do to make a difference…”

It doesn’t need to be big. It just needs to be yours.

Mark’s story reminds us that failure isn’t the opposite of success — it’s part of it.
