About this episode
On September 21st, 2025, I crossed the finish line at IRONMAN 70.3 Washington—but the real victory wasn’t just the medal. It was the lesson: Run Your Race.In this milestone 200th episode of the Gravity Podcast, I share the insights endurance racing has taught me about life, leadership, and resilience. It’s easy to get distracted by what others are doing—their pace, their performance, their plan. But just like on the course, comparison in life is a thief. Your success is built on knowing your why, charting your path, and adapting with wisdom when challenges arise.Know Your Why – Motivation has to come from something deeper than just finishing. It’s what keeps you steady when the miles feel endless.Know Where You’re Going – Clarity of direction creates confidence. Without a destination, effort drifts.Develop Your Plan Based on Experience – Learn from what’s worked (and what hasn’t) to create a strategy that’s yours, not borrowed.Plan for Problems, Allow for Deviation – Obstacles are guaranteed. The difference is whether you crumble—or flex and keep moving.Ignore the Noise – Just like I had to block out other runners on the course, your best race in life is run when you focus on your lane, your pace, your purpose.This episode isn’t just about triathlon—it’s about staying grounded, refusing distraction, and running the race you were built for.Paid PromotionsDeliverFund – Protecting the Vulnerable, Equipping the Protectors??CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE??This episode of the Gravity Podcast is brought to you by DeliverFund — a non-profit organization working every day to eradicate human trafficking in the United States.DeliverFund equips law enforcement officers and prosecutors with state-of-the-art intelligence, tools, and training — all free of charge — to help dismantle trafficking networks and rescue victims.
