This podcast episode with Brian "Tosh" Chontosh focuses on the "mind's mind," the inner voice that shapes our thoughts and actions, often seeking comfort and leading to self-sabotage. Tosh emphasizes understanding this influence to improve decision-making and personal growth, particularly in endurance events.  

"Diesel Days," derived from military training, combines physical challenges with lessons in leadership and teamwork. This 24-hour event pushes participants through physical and psychological trials, teaching them to navigate internal and external pressures, including an innovative "checking in with the left hand" technique for goal setting and self-reflection.  This is a strategy that you can use on a tough run, race or situation in life.

Tosh also discusses building mental resilience and life skills to counteract the mind's mind, highlighting the importance of a safe training environment for pushing limits and learning. The "Hard Way Project" offers a monthly subscription with workouts and methodologies to apply these concepts in practice.

Overall, the episode sheds light on overcoming the mind's mind through awareness, resilience, and competency development, offering practical tools for personal and professional growth.

We return to our 'Endurance Of The Trail" Series in this episode with our friend Major Brian "Tosh" Chontosh, United States Marine Corps, Retired.  He recounts his extraordinary journey of participating in The World's Roughest Row, rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean with his team of former Navy SEALs despite their lack of prior experience in ocean rowing. He delves into the rigorous training, preparation, and dietary strategies that underpinned their endurance feat. Tosh underscores the critical role of team cohesion and the strategic guidance from their campaign manager. He reflects on the mental resilience needed to surmount challenges and draws parallels between his rowing venture and ultra-running principles, particularly in nutrition and the necessity to eschew distractions for peak performance. The discussion also explores the mental rigors of the Atlantic crossing, the imperative of setting clear goals, and the congruence between one's actions and objectives. Tosh concludes by touching on the broader implications of his experiences for physical endurance and leadership.

Olúwadáminí Melvin knows he is a spiritual being on an earthly sojourn. He's had his share of trouble, too. In all of it, though, he owned his choices, owned the consequences and turned the periods in his life of criminality and homelessness around.

A deep connection with Spirit helps him return to center. Writing poetry and a deep affinity for music helps, too.

Originally from Richmond and St. Charles, Virginia, he currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri where he works as Benefits Program Specialist with the Missouri Department of Social Services. Olúwadáminí currently serves as the Secretary Treasurer and steward for the Communication Worker's of America. He is also a member of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists.

Olúwadámini's favorite songs are Your House by Steel Pulse and Stepping Razor by Peter Tosh.

Olúwadámini's favorite book is The Spirit of a Man: A Vision Of Transformation For Black Men And The Women Who Love Them by Ayanla Vanzant.

He's obviously not acquainted with the Doctor's wardrobe then, which contains... Who knows what?

And there's plenty going on in the rest of 16th Century Paris, with a familiar-looking priestly weirdo, a companion's possible ancestor and man-hungry sectarian rats.

The Doctor may or may not be in the house but Steven finds that Preslin, the King of germinology, has definitely left the building.

What's the Doctor hiding about his mysterious continental city break?
