Trained as a barrister, Anthony made the rare move to walk away from law and turn professional in one of the world’s most demanding endurance sports: cycling. What followed was a pattern that has defined his career — high performance, intentional pivots, and the courage to rewrite the rules.
When he returned home from racing, Anthony saw his legal peers buried in 80-hour work weeks, sacrificing health for prestige. He chose something else: to build a life around autonomy, wellbeing, and deep personal growth. That philosophy became a business — a cycling coaching company — and then a portfolio. In 2015, years before AI became a buzzword, he co-founded PocketCoach, a venture-backed startup that used machine learning to scale personalised coaching.
At his peak, Anthony was juggling five companies. The wins looked great on paper. But behind the scenes, he had recreated the same burnout cycle he once walked away from.
Then came the pandemic. Anthony paused everything — sold companies, ended others, and sat with one question:
“How do you design a life that actually works?”
That question became a podcast. That podcast became two. Today, over two million people tune in every month to The Roadman Cycling Podcast and The Anthony Walsh Podcast, where Anthony hosts unfiltered conversations with Olympic champions, Tour de France legends, billionaires, bestselling authors, and elite thinkers — all united by one search: how to live, train, and work better.
Anthony brings that lens to every stage. Whether delivering a keynote, moderating a summit, or MC’ing global events, he blends legal clarity, startup urgency, athlete discipline, and broadcaster timing to deliver talks that cut through and stay with audiences long after the lights go down.
