#176 - Chris McCormack, Two-time Ironman World Champion, Executive Chairman at MANA Group & Co-Founder of Supertri & Bahrain Victorious
Description
Two-time world champion triathlete and entrepreneur Chris “Macca” McCormack joins Seth for a candid dive into life after elite sport: the brutal honesty endurance racing teaches, the illusion of “high performance” in the boardroom, and why risk-taking can’t end when your racing career does. From collecting marathon majors to raising kids, building Super League/SuperTri and the MANA Group, navigating COVID as a sports operator, and exploring meditation and Buddhist ideas of peace—Macca opens up about ambition, aging, family, grief, and redefining success. He talks bandwidth, ADD tendencies, why great teams beat great ideas, how he evaluates founders, and the future of tokenizing sports assets. It’s part playbook, part therapy session, and fully Macca: direct, fast-moving, and deeply human.
