Dubai: Maria Conceicao has been dubbed the toughest woman alive. A viral video by Vishen Lakhiani, author and CEO of Mindvalley, a learning experience company, compares her to David Goggins, considered the world’s best ultra-marathon endurance athlete. She is the first Portuguese woman to summit Mount Everest and reach the North Pole and South Pole. And she holds 10 Guinness World Records for running ultra-marathons and Ironman triathlons.
But speak to Maria and she will tell you the comparison to Goggins has more to do with her attitude than anything else. An attitude to never give up on her goals, and never find excuses, no matter what.
