In this interview I chat with Tanelle Bolt. This very talented lady comes to us by way of Canada and at one point in life she was a body builder/fitness model and life seemed to be going great. In one turn of the circumstances, it was all gone. In a "routine" activity she woke up paralyzed with no real answers for the how and why. Left lying in a bed trying to figure out what was next, she decided to take that first step. Heal, rehab and grow. From there she craved being active, only to realize that the opportunities were severely limited in Canada, so she decided to take action. In this awakening, the RAD Society was formed! Listen in to this chat on those things plus more! Check out www.radsociety.ca as well to see even more!

WARNING: There are no secrets in this podcast. Actually, it will raise more questions than answers What causes us to give up before the battle starts? Why would we allow our own perception of success and failure limit our efforts? What if we found a way, a tactic, to breakthrough the mental barriers that keep us from giving our all, even when it is something we have never achieved before? These are just a few of the questions raised and resulting from this podcasts.

In this episode I chat with Mountain Bike XC World Champion Contender Fairlee Frey. Not only does she have a wicked awesome name, she is super cool and very humble. In my chat with her I learned that she really had no real hint at her level of talent until she hopped on the bike and started ripping. Now, she sees where she belongs. Great chat with a very interesting young rising star!

In this episode I go solo and talk about what I like to call the seeds of success. The things we put in place to help us when times get tough and the "seeds" we sow to help us reach our long term goals

In this chat I get the honor of talking to Jordan Bressler.  Jordan served with the Army Rangers 2nd Battalion for 12 years until a lucky round struck him in the hip while on deployment. It was at that point he began a new journey of healing and looking for tools to help him move forward. he found cycling during this time and it has helped to lead him to where he is today.  Since that round found him he has went though surgeries, rehab/PT and learned to love the freedom a bike provides. He is a National Paralympic cycling Champion, a new father and cycling coach with Mind Right Endurance.  Listen in as we chat about perseverance, determination and the art of never backing down. 

I recently had a conversation with an athlete that threw a red flag for me. The mindset is such a delicate thing and when it is on, it's great. When it's not...well you know how it goes.  In this short podcast I cover how to understand, address and prepare the mindset for future battles. The difference in "want to" and "have to" is the target of this episode.  Tune in and let me know if it helped you and how you plan to put this practice into action!

This was a fun episode to do because I had the opportunity to interview my wife, household CEO and an athlete I have coached for almost 5 years.  We discussed her 2017 season, how changing jobs and other life situations this year hindered or helped her training, her 2018 goals and why she is so consistent with her training.  As someone who has coached her for years now, we finally have figured out the coach/athlete relationship and how it works the best. It is a very delicate balance! Listen in to my chat with Kendall and see if you can discover her secret to being a professional, mom, spouse and triathlete!

In this special edition episode, my good friend, fellow coach and mentor Mike Durner stops in to chat. At first this was planned to be a catching up and "Who is Mike Durner" kind of chat but from the jump we were off into some deeper topics that we both are passionate about.  We discuss what acceptance really means, being "dialed in" and a handful of other things as we have a little verbal adventure.  Mike Durner spent 4 years in the United States Army as an officer (serving 2 deployments to the Middle East), is a coach with CTS and served 5 years as a Team USA Paralympic Cycling coach. In his travels with the team, his time in the military and his career as a coach, he has earned a wealth of knowledge that we only barely crack into in this chat.  Tune in and see if you can put any of his thoughts and advise from experience into action!

In this episode I chat with Nutritionist Lisa Ferrara. We cover everything from being a busy mom to twins and the toughest part of owning a business to her favorite book to read and is beer REALLY that bad....
