Every mile they ran together chipped away at brick walls they didn’t know they had. Through shared struggle and open dialogue, Olivia Chadwick and Garnet Morris grasped the values that gave their steps meaning.
17 Runs is a story about connection, reflection, and choosing your life with intention.
How far out of your comfort zone are you willing to go to transform?
Olivia Chadwick, a young mother and self-critical personal trainer, first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 a.m. on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick’s task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling, 100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his “uncoachability” as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles.
Through mutual hesitations, their season-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness, as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength.
In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses, and the ability to love.
Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing, and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.
Olivia Chadwick
My mission is to help high-performing individuals move beyond self-doubt and into their fullest potential—because when we rise, we light the way for others to do the same. I do this through being a mental performance coach, a certified exercise physiologist, a podcaster who hosts She Knew Better, and through the founding of Movement Medicine, a first-of-its-kind coaching practice consisting of an integrated team of world-class leaders in the application of exercise science. I believe that true transformation begins with turning inward—building self-awareness, self-compassion, and unshakable self-belief. Originally from the U.K., I’ve spent the last couple of decades in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Garnet Morris
I’m originally from Saskatchewan, and I’ve been an entrepreneur and businessman for most of my life. I’m committed to democratizing functional medicine, which is exemplified by my investment in MedChefs, a medical nutrition app. My life’s work (owning and operating small-town hotels; building a legacy in insurance, marketing, and finance; developing innovative lending structures and tax-efficient strategics for businesses; and founding a premium finance company) reflects my passion for innovation and helping others achieve financial security and health and my impact on the financial services industry and my dedication to entrepreneurship have left an indelible mark on Canada’s business landscape. My wife and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia.
