    Podcast Summary

    • Navigating challenges with commitment and positivityStay committed to your goals, view obstacles as spiritual shifts, and trust things will fall into place

      Commitment and a positive mindset can help navigate through challenges during significant life transitions. The speaker shares her experience of staying committed to moving to LA despite getting sick just before the move. She views getting sick as a sign of her body struggling to keep up with the spiritual and vibrational shifts she's making in her life, rather than a reason to give up. The speaker encourages viewers to fully commit to their goals and trust that things will fall into place once they recommit, even when faced with unexpected obstacles.

    • Learning self-control in high-stress situationsThe speaker learned to pause and think logically, even in stressful situations, and the value of strong relationships in her life.

      The speaker learned to think logically and control her reactions, even in high-stress situations. This was demonstrated when she was hit by a car and, instead of reacting impulsively, she paused and considered the consequences before walking away. This experience showed her that she has grown and can trust herself to handle difficult situations with reason and self-control, a valuable skill as she embarks on a new chapter in her life in the midst of a move to LA. Additionally, the surprise party thrown by her friends highlighted the importance of relationships and the meaningful impact they can have on one's life.

    • Finding meaning in life's challengesLife's challenges can lead to personal growth and emotional stability, even if they initially seem unwelcome or unfair. Acknowledging emotions while staying focused on long-term benefits can help turn adversity into opportunity.

      Life's challenges, even those that seem unwelcome or unfair, can serve as valuable learning experiences. The speaker shares her experience of being involved in an accident, which left her feeling emotionally unstable and physically traumatized. However, she also realized that this experience helped her gain emotional stability and control, making her feel more confident and prepared for the future. Moreover, the speaker acknowledges the emotional toll of making significant life changes, such as moving to a new city for career opportunities. She emphasizes that while such decisions may be logical and necessary, it's normal to feel sadness and fear about leaving behind the known and comfortable. The speaker encourages herself and others to acknowledge these emotions while also staying focused on the long-term benefits of the change. Overall, the speaker's reflections highlight the importance of embracing life's challenges and finding meaning in seemingly difficult experiences. By focusing on personal growth and staying true to oneself, one can turn adversity into opportunity and emerge stronger and more resilient.

    • Embracing the unknown for personal growthTaking risks and facing new challenges can lead to personal growth and the discovery of true friendships, despite the pain of leaving old ones behind.

      True friendships are worth cherishing, but sometimes, making difficult decisions for personal growth can lead to leaving them behind. The first time you take a risk, especially when you're unaware of what lies ahead, can be an exhilarating experience. The speaker shares her experience of moving to Houston and building a new life, which came with its own challenges. Now, as she prepares to move to LA, she acknowledges the pain of leaving her friends behind but is willing to take the risk for her personal growth. The speaker encourages everyone to embrace the unknown and enjoy the beauty of not knowing what's coming. While it may be scary, the experience of taking risks and facing new challenges can lead to personal growth and the discovery of true friendships.

    • The Unknown: Excitement and ChallengeExperiencing new things for the first time can bring excitement, but repeats can test our resilience. Not knowing what lies ahead builds strength and prepares us for life's ups and downs.

      Embracing the unknown and experiencing new things for the first time can bring excitement and enjoyment, but the second time around can be challenging. Not knowing what lies ahead can make the journey easier to handle, and going through difficult times builds resilience and raises our threshold for dealing with both good and bad experiences. As we grow and learn from our experiences, we become stronger and more capable of handling the ups and downs of life. So, savor the unknown and enjoy the ride, knowing that each experience, good or bad, contributes to our personal growth.

    • Life's challenges build resilienceLife's challenges are opportunities for growth and strengthening ourselves, not punishments.

      Life's challenges serve a purpose and help build resilience. The speaker shares her personal experience of going through overwhelming situations and feeling unprepared but eventually learning to handle them. She emphasizes that these experiences are not punishments, but rather opportunities to grow and become stronger. Additionally, she reflects on the concept of home and shares her realization that she has learned to find her home within herself, no matter where she goes. This discovery provides her with a sense of comfort and stability, even as she moves to a new place. Overall, the speaker encourages listeners to trust the process and understand that difficult times are essential for personal growth.

    • Creating a comfortable physical environmentGrounding oneself in physical space and finding happiness within and without contributes to overall well-being and happiness.

      Creating a comfortable and stable physical environment can significantly contribute to personal well-being and happiness. The speaker emphasizes the importance of grounding oneself in the physical world and not solely relying on inner peace. She shares her personal experience of wanting to extend the feeling of being at home within herself to her physical space. The speaker also highlights the importance of finding happiness in any situation and not tying it to external factors. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to consider the role of their physical surroundings in their overall well-being and happiness.

    • Finding happiness in the presentHappiness is not dependent on external circumstances, but rather on our perspective towards them. Embrace life's ups and downs and find peace in the journey.

      Happiness is not dependent on external circumstances, but rather on our perspective towards them. The speaker shares her personal experience of finding happiness even during tough times by practicing to look for it in the present and viewing life as an adventure filled with ups and downs. She emphasizes that happiness is not a prerequisite for living life and encourages embracing the chaos and changes as part of the journey. By shifting our mindset and granting ourselves permission to not be a certain way, we can release tension, stress, and find peace in the ride of life.

    • Accepting emotions during significant life changesIt's normal to feel sad or unsure during significant life changes, and acknowledging and accepting these emotions can help you move forward. Stay committed, focused, and remember that every step brings us closer to the next chapter.

      It's okay not to be happy all the time during significant life changes, and forcing yourself to be happy can actually hinder your progress. Emotions are a natural part of the process, and acknowledging and accepting them can help you move forward. Committing to your decisions and focusing on the logical reasons behind them can provide comfort and clarity during difficult times. Remember, life is an adventure with ups and downs, and every step, no matter how sad or happy, brings us closer to the next chapter. Don't hesitate to share your experiences and emotions with others, as they're likely going through similar journeys. Stay committed, stay focused, and remember that it's okay to feel sad or unsure at times. The end of one era marks the beginning of another, and the journey is worth the effort.

He joins Tom and breaks down the backlash he got for doing less than 17 miles indoors, and reveals the real mental fortitude and personal challenges he faced that lead him to deciding on completing 100 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons this time, plus one. James talks about what it really means to do hard things, and how the secret of achieving your goals is in the journey, the failures, and the lessons that prepare you for the actual goal.

    Ken Rideout’s Win-Or-Die Mindset: Controlling The Variables, Winning His First Ultra, & Why Discomfort is the Price of Admission To Greatness
    How do you evolve into an unbreakable champion? Never set limits. Welcome pain. And be ready to die to win. This is the ethos of Ken Rideout, returning to the podcast to arm you with the tools you need to chase huge dreams and transform your life wholesale anytime, and at any age. An absolute force of nature, Ken overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles—a rough and chaotic childhood and later a battle with opiate addiction—to become one of the world’s pre-eminent master athletes. He consistently takes the podium at prestigious marathons, including a recent age group world champion title at the Chicago Marathon plus wins in the 50+ division of the New York City, Boston, and Tokyo Marathons. This summer Ken debuted his ultra career by not only completing the Gobi March, a grueling 155-mile, self-supported, 7-day stage run across the harsh desert terrain of Mongolia, but outright winning it by over 84 minutes. Today we unpack Ken’s extraordinary Gobi March win, his unique strategy in the race, and what motivates his beast-like drive. We also discuss the mindset tools, discipline, consistency, and humility that fuel his growth and help him get better, faster, and stronger in his 50s. Ken is one of a kind, bullshit-free, and 100% authentically himself. His vulnerability is refreshing. His perseverance is remarkable. And his message is powerful: nothing good happens when you’re comfortable.
