In this week’s episode, I am breaking down the nutrition you need to lift heavy and run far. We are constantly inundated with information on social media and the internet about new studies and diets, and it’s easy to be pulled into a particular way of thinking without being diligent in doing the research ourselves. The methods are many, but the concepts are few. The perfect diet is the one you can adhere to. I will be taking you on a deep dive into what I consume as a hybrid athlete and how it works to fuel my performance. Enjoy!

In today's episode, I share my experience of The Speed Project, one of the toughest, grittiest, and most disruptive races. We gathered six runners who had never worked together before to participate in an unsupported 300-mile relay race through some of the most unforgiving terrains in the country. The course was full of inclines and declines, with thousands of feet of elevation gain and loss through mountains and deserts, and we had to plot our own route with precision and speed. This was an unparalleled experience for me, and I can't wait to share some of the stories that came out of it with you all. Enjoy!

This week's episode comes from our Los Angeles base camp as we prepare for The Speed Project. I welcomed Lucy Haldon, an exceptional hybrid athlete from Manchester, UK, as our guest. In this episode, Lucy and I had a raw and vulnerable conversation about her experience dealing with imposter syndrome after being invited to join our team for The Speed Project. We also discussed the challenging yet rewarding decisions that come with letting go of negative relationships and shared our experiences of overcoming eating disorders. Lucy is a true inspiration to people all over the world, demonstrating what it means to have courage in the face of adversity. Enjoy!

In this week's solo episode, I'm recapping life updates, the Austin Marathon, and what it means to do your job. Doing your job isn't only about the overall tasks but also how you execute and show up in this moment. It is about where your feet are right now, whether you need to show up as a boss, employee, spouse, parent, or friend. It's about doing the tough things and finishing well, making the hard choices that will lead to long-term gain. So the question today is, can you do your job?

Today, I'm reviewing five life lessons I've learned while building an 8 figure business. Following the process doesn't always guarantee success, and the world won't comply with your needs, but I've learned that I am more capable than I thought, and I believe you are, too. Choose to be a high achiever, say no to mediocrity, and build something you are proud of. Enjoy!

In today’s solo episode, I’m breaking down what has helped me stay consistent with my nutrition and giving tips on how it can work for you. When it comes to food and fueling your body well, you are planning to fail when you fail to plan. From responsible grocery shopping to learning how to cook to meet your nutritional needs to packing a gallon bag of chicken and rice that you can break out while waiting for a flight. I hope this helps make a consistent and nourishing diet seem more attainable. Enjoy!

Choosing the right supplement is a guarantee that it will work for you. A quality manufacturer is also of great importance. Luckily, there are plenty of good review sites out there now to help you choose the best option. This one https://nehealthcareworkforce.org/ usually helps me a lot.
Perfect episode, listened to it on 6:00 am in Germany 🤙🏼
