063: Growth and Grit | Lessons from Las Vegas to Long-Distance Running

Coming live from Sin City – Under the neon glow of Vegas, where life's vibrancy is matched only by its unpredictability, I've found moments of clarity and connection. Here, between the buzzing streets and the quiet solace of my thoughts, I've rediscovered the essence of what it means to be truly alive alongside my life's partner, Ally.

It's in these breaks from the whirlwind of everyday life, these stolen moments of togetherness, that we recharge and remind ourselves of the journey we're on together. This episode is meant to help you get to know me a little better.

Diving into the pages of Jocko Willink's "Extreme Ownership" has been nothing short of a game changer for me. It's a guide that's reshaped the way I navigate the obstacles life throws my way, turning what once seemed like insurmountable hurdles into opportunities to learn, grow, and lead with conviction.

Now, let me take you on the trails of my running adventures, where every step is a lesson in pushing beyond the limits. The "10 minute rule" has been my secret weapon—a simple yet profound commitment to just start, to move, to run. This rule isn't just about building physical strength; it's a metaphor for life, teaching us that the power of consistent, disciplined action can help us overcome financial woes, navigate the complex dynamics of family life, and chase down the dreams that set our souls on fire.

In this journey of the mind, I've found inspiration in voices like those from Modern Wisdom and The Joe Rogan Podcast. They're not just sources of entertainment; they're gateways to new ideas, and philosophies that sharpen my perspective and challenge me to think bigger, to be better.

To nurture greatness, not just within ourselves but in the generations to follow, is perhaps the most significant journey of all. This conversation isn't just about what we achieve; it's about the mark we leave on the world and the paths we pave for those who will walk them after us.
