Parker Olson is surely one of the most unique individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He's an entrepreneur, an adventurer, and in 2021 - he became an Ironman (having never even done a triathlon or other endurance event before signing up). Using inexpensive used equipment, goofy outdated apparel, and homemade whole food endurance fuel - the man was able to keep his 'all in' costs to a meager $2k.This episode is perfect for anyone that's been putting off their dream of a 140.6 because of costs and time.

If you've been to a nightclub in Vegas or LA, there's a good chance you've seen today's guest before: DJ Vice. And while many people know Vice as the resident DJ of Vegas's biggest clubs, not many people know that the man is a runner! In fact, he's run a mile a day every day for the last four years. Sometimes he runs further than a mile; like when he ran the LA marathon in 2019.Today's interview features an awesome conversation with one of the most disciplined human beings I've ever met. If you are: 1) someone who wants to someday run a marathon; or 2) someone who wants to start a new habit (like running a mile a day) - this episode is for you. It's also for anybody with a pulse.Catch DJ Vice on social: @djviceWatch DJ Vice's YouTube show: Electric TacoGrab tickets to an upcoming show: djvice.comClick here to learn more about our charity endurance team.

In today's episode, I unpack a psychological study on the influence that conformity has on our choices and actions. The idea for this episode was inspired by an interesting question I received from a Patreon subscriber who didn't want to be persuaded into buying a timeshare.Disclaimer: today's episode is meant to illuminate how outside entities may try to influence or manipulate us via the power of conformity. This is definitely something to consider when it comes to advertising messages around us, including those pertaining to divisive social issues! My hope is that this study would help us to: 1) recognize when this type of influence is occurring; and 2) help us to stand firm with our beliefs!Lastly, I came across this study while reading Jonah Berger's, "Invisible Influence".
