Description

There’s something about pain that most people run from — but today’s guest, Calvin, runs through it. Literally.
He’s a qualified personal trainer, a competitive long-distance runner, and a man whose life revolves around a level of discipline most people only read about.
But behind the physical endurance is a deeper story — one about commitment, the war between consistency and comfort, and how running became more than just a sport… it became a blueprint for life.
In this episode, we dive into the lessons Calvin’s learned on the road — and how those same principles apply to entrepreneurship, building a brand, and becoming the best version of yourself.
This conversation isn’t about running. It’s about becoming. Let’s get into it.
