Meet Sam Penny

I’m Sam Penny - The Impossible Guy. I’ve swum the English Channel in winter, completed an Ice Mile in freezing waters, and scaled multiple businesses to multi-million-dollar success. I take on the impossible not just to test myself, but to show others what’s possible.

Today, I share those lessons as a motivational keynote speaker, accountability coach, and host of the global podcast Why’d You Think You Could Do That? - where I ask the world’s most daring people what gave them the courage to take the leap.

Why Does This Podcast Exist?

I’ve built businesses from scratch, scaled them to millions, and faced down challenges most people would never dream of attempting - from swimming the English Channel in winter, to completing an Ice Mile in freezing waters, to standing on a TEDx stage telling people to say YES! to the impossible.

But this podcast isn’t about me. It’s about the people who refuse to accept limits. The entrepreneurs, adventurers, thinkers, and everyday people who made a choice to step into the impossible - and discovered what they were truly capable of.

Why’d You Think You Could Do That? exists because every great story starts with a question. When we understand the spark that drives extraordinary action, we can see what’s possible for ourselves.

Through these conversations, I want to bring you the raw moments of courage, doubt, grit, and breakthrough - so that you can find the bravery to say yes to your own impossible.
