Seven Minutes is an intimate and powerful exploration of what it means to live fully - and how the moments that test us most often reveal who we truly are.
Ignacio Quiles-Lara, known as "Magic Nacho," is a biomedical researcher, global health executive, helicopter pilot, and world championship triathlete. He shares his journey from a single moment of collapse on a treadmill to redefining what was possible in his life. More than a personal story, this book weaves reflections on trust, resilience, adaptability, and courage - the same qualities that shape great leaders and connected communities.
Each chapter explores a different facet of human potential, framed through vivid stories from his life and subtle nods to historical figures who have inspired his thinking. Readers will travel with him from the vulnerability of learning to breathe again in the pool to the discipline of training for ultra-triathlons, discovering universal lessons on:
- Turning setbacks into stepping stones
- Finding courage where fear once lived
- Harnessing curiosity as a driver of growth
- Building trust in ourselves and others
- Leading with purpose, even when the path is unclear
This is not just a memoir about endurance sports. It is a guide to transforming life's most challenging moments into fuel for leadership, growth, and purpose. Blending personal experience with reflections on human potential, the book inspires readers to see that what once seemed impossible can become a catalyst for change.
Written in an authentic, conversational style, Seven Minutes is for anyone who has felt trapped by self-doubt, fear, or the weight of expectations - and is ready to break free. It is a call to action to live without excuses, embrace what feels impossible, and convert life's hardest moments into a source of enduring strength.
What if what holds you back could set you free?
