071: Staying the Course – How to Adjust Goals and Keep Going

What happens when you're training like a beast for your first ultra marathon, the Bear Ears Ultra, and then bam—you get hit with a severe illness right before race day? 

I had to make the gut-wrenching decision to postpone the race. But instead of letting it break me, I turned this setback into a powerful lesson on adaptability and resilience.

Pivoting to a new goal, I set my sights on an event in Arizona. Inspired by legends like Michael Jordan, I kept my momentum going. This episode is all about the grit it takes to adapt and adjust your goals, the strength of a positive mindset, and the relentless pursuit of personal milestones.

We dive deep into how life's curveballs can actually fuel your growth and how changing your goals isn’t quitting—it's a sign of your unyielding commitment to success.

Drawing from Stoic philosophy and the incredible feats of people like Rob Jones, I talk about how our reactions to obstacles shape our character. Whether you’re training for a marathon or chasing any personal goal, you’ll find practical tips and motivation to keep you fired up and moving forward.
