They discuss scheduling March and April dinner events and a possible Easter-week scouting trip to California. One recounts riding San Diego's Coast-to-Crest Trail, destroying a tubeless tire from suspected trail debris, and outfitting a Trek Tributary e-bike with chunkier tires; they troubleshoot a nonworking Bosch display likely due to a coin battery. Conversation shifts to rumors of higher-power DJI motors, demand for longer-range and modular-battery e-bikes, and concerns about e-bike regulations. They also cover 32-inch wheel speculation (including a rumored titanium Salsa Fargo rework), Sea Otter/Taipei/Tour Divide expectations, a new Kona drop-bar MTB, Revel rehiring Chris Riel, import trends, and brief Valley of Tears results discussion.00:00 Are We Recording01:03 Back at Dusty Roads01:54 Home Projects Overload02:45 Curing Room Dream04:54 Paula and Bikes07:34 April Dates and Travel09:19 Coast to Crest Flat12:13 New Tires and Display15:54 California Van Plan18:18 DJI Motor Rumors22:53 Swappable Battery Wish26:10 Fargo Goes 3232:15 Surly Builds and KM37:17 Revel Brings Back Chris38:36 Revel Ride Plans39:00 Ebike Imports Surge39:56 Made in USA Debate42:02 Kona Drop Bar MTB44:21 N Plus One Wishlist46:30 Next Gen Ebike Tech48:42 Ebikes Rules Enforcement52:23 Trail Impact Reality54:49 Forum Culture Echoes57:22 Who Buys Ebikes01:06:05 Valley of Tears Check01:12:54 Gear Dates Rumors01:14:23 Trinity Trio Plans01:17:22 Wrap Up and Share

What happens when you stop seeing limits as a stop sign and start seeing them as an invitation? In Episode 216 of the I Dare You Podcast, I sit down with Kyle and Brent Pease. They are a world-renowned push-assist brother duo, disability advocates, and the co-founders of The Kyle Pease Foundation. Together, they have completed hundreds of endurance events and made history as the first brother team to complete the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, as a push-assist duo. Kyle was born with cerebral palsy, and his journey is a masterclass in resilience, joy, and leadership. As Executive Director of The Kyle Pease Foundation, Brent is the engine, the coach, and the steady force behind the logistics. Kyle is the spirit, the mindset, and the reminder that the hardest part is often the mental fight. In this conversation, we talk about what race day really looks like, what inclusion actually means in everyday life, and why their mission goes far beyond the finish line. This episode will challenge you to get curious, take the next step, and include people in ways that actually matter.

Artificial intelligence is being promoted as the next revolution in electronics manufacturing, but what happens when the people evaluating it aren't traditional AI experts, aren't software vendors, and aren't selling anything? Today's conversation brings together engineers and professors who live at the intersection of education, reliability, and real-world manufacturing to separate meaningful progress from speculation.Each episode brings together engineers, researchers, and industry leaders to examine best practices, emerging technologies, and real-world lessons, always with a focus on data, physics, Best practices, and long-term performance.Today's episode is a little different—and the setting couldn't be better. I'm recording live from the Big Island of Hawaii, in Kona, at the SMTA Pan Pacific Strategic Electronics Symposium, better known as PanPac.At PanPac, academia meets industry in a way that's truly unique. Leading international universities join forces with CEOs, inventors, senior engineers, and decision-makers from around the world. This is where the brightest research collides with the most pressing industry challenges — and sparks solutions that drive the future of electronics. I'm honored to be the conference chair, especially on this 30th anniversary of PanPac.This episode is all about “AI in Action: Progress, Pitfalls, and the Future of Electronics.”Artificial intelligence is becoming a frequent topic in electronics manufacturing—from inspection and process optimization to predictive maintenance and reliability modeling. But rather than approaching this conversation from the standpoint of AI evangelists or software developers, we're taking a different path.My panelists are: Eva Hymes, Hayden Lee, Dr. Ron Lasky, Dr. John Evans, and Dr. Pradeep Lall. None of today's panelists claim to be AI experts. Instead, they are engineers and professors who sit at the intersection of education, engineering, and real-world manufacturing challenges. Their perspective is grounded in physics, data, reliability science, and decades of experience teaching the next generation of engineers—many of whom will be working alongside AI-driven tools whether they choose to or not.Because all of our panelists come from academia, this conversation intentionally steps back from hype and buzzwords. We'll focus on how AI is actually being used, where it shows promise, where it introduces risk, and where critical gaps still exist—especially in high-reliability electronics manufacturing. And because PanPac serves the electronics manufacturing community, we'll keep this discussion connected to the factory floor, workforce readiness, education, and long-term product reliability. We'll also touch on broader societal questions, including how AI is shaping engineering education and professional intuition.So if you're looking for a grounded, thoughtful discussion on AI—one rooted in engineering reality rather than marketing claims—this episode is for you.

Liz Hickox's triathlon journey and mindset transformation. Key Takeaways Mindset Shift Unlocked Performance: Liz's breakthrough came from replacing a self-limiting belief ("I don't win races") with a performance-focused one ("Success is the only motherfucking option"). New Coaching Partnership was the Catalyst: A new coach (Colin Cook) provided the structure and accountability needed to break old habits, including inconsistent training and alcohol consumption. Adversity Forged Resilience: Winning two major races (Happy Valley, Lake Placid) with broken toes proved the power of her new mindset and physical dedication. Kona Podium Validated the Transformation: A top-5 finish at Kona, guided by a single bike-split goal, validated the new approach and solidified her identity as a top-tier athlete. Topics Early Life & Athletic Background Upbringing: Athletic parents; a strict, driving father and a supportive mother. Pivotal Event: A severe car accident at 19 caused a year-long school delay. Wall Street Career: Started on the American Stock Exchange floor, then moved to a NASDAQ trading desk. Running as Therapy: Began running after her father's death, using it as a mental escape from a high-pressure job. Sailing Career: Won a One Design World Championship, leveraging a lighter weight for crew selection. Triathlon Introduction & Early Struggles First Triathlon (c. 2000): The Mighty Hamptons Tri, completed on a mountain bike with aero bars. Result: Walked the run due to lack of training. Return to Triathlon (c. 2017): Used training as a grounding force during a difficult marriage. First Half-Ironman: Timberman, finished just outside the top 10. First Full Ironman: Lake Placid (2017, 2018), consistently finished just outside the top 10. Self-Limiting Belief: Realized she was subconsciously holding back to avoid outperforming her spouse, creating a "marginally well" identity. The Breakthrough Season (2025) Coaching Change: Switched to Colin Cook after her previous coach dismissed her Kona goal for Lake Placid, saying the race was "too competitive." New Approach: Adopted a disciplined lifestyle, including consistent training, dialed-in nutrition, and full alcohol abstinence. Happy Valley 70.3: Adversity: Broke two toes ~10 days before the race. Strategy: Wore a walking boot pre-race, then hammered the bike to compensate for a compromised run. Result: Won her age group by over 20 minutes, securing a 70.3 Worlds slot. Lake Placid Ironman: Adversity: Raced on broken toes, causing pain on downhills and a gluteal tendinopathy injury. Result: Won her age group by 26 minutes, finishing 50 minutes faster than her 2018 time. Kona World Championships Mindset: Approached the race with a focus on experience and enjoyment, not just results. Bike Strategy: Focused solely on hitting the coach-set 6-hour bike split goal, ignoring all other metrics. Result: Finished in 6:01. Run Strategy: Removed socks mid-race to manage burning feet, running the rest of the marathon barefoot in her shoes. Result: Finished 5th in her age group, achieving a podium finish. Next Steps Liz Hickox: Race Happy Valley 70.3 and Lake Placid Ironman in 2026. Compete in Unbound gravel race. Attend the upcoming Tucson training camp.

Willkommen zu einer neuen Episode, in der die Wetter-Gerechtigkeit auf dem Kopf steht: Während Nick bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und 17 Grad im Rheinland kurz-kurz auf dem Rad sitzt , friert Nils im Trainingslager auf Lanzarote und berichtet von den armen Teufeln auf Mallorca, die im Dauerregen versinken.Trotz Erkältungsausfall an den ersten Camp-Tagen hat Nils aber spannende Beobachtungen von der Insel mitgebracht. So dreht dort aktuell niemand Geringeres als Tour-de-France-Sieger Jonas Vingegaard seine Runden. Außerdem klären wir eine lebenswichtige Beauty-Frage für Triathletinnen: Warum sollte man sich vor einem Rennen besser keinen Schellack auf die Fußnägel machen lassen? Dann werfen wir den Blick voraus auf den Ironman Neuseeland! Fred Funk steht an der Startlinie und wir orakeln, ob er sich das Ticket für Kona sichern kann. Reicht seine Fitness, um beim Radfahren mitzuhalten , und wer läuft am Ende den schnelleren Marathon: Fred Funk oder Cat Matthews? Wir geben unsere Podium-Tipps für das Männer- und Frauenrennen ab und analysieren die Chancen von Christian Blummenfelt , Kyle Smith und Pierre Le Corre.Auch Nicks "Project Slow Time" für die Challenge Roth bekommt wieder ein Update. Nachdem Nils ihm gnadenlos vorrechnet, dass mit einer soliden Radform und einem soliden Marathon sogar ein Sub-9-Finish drin wäre , stellt sich die Frage: Wie viel Laufkilometer müssen im Training wirklich sein? Und warum ist Laufen manchmal einfach eklig zäh , während Radfahren immer Spaß macht? Abschließend gibt es noch einen Ausflug in die Trainingswissenschaft: Wir erklären das "Priming" bei kurzen Intervallen und schwärmen vom Opening Weekend der Radsport-Klassiker, bei dem Mathieu van der Poel und Visma-Lease a Bike wieder eine absolute Show abgeliefert haben.Werbung: IncylenceRabattcode: pushinglimitsRabatt: 15% auf alles außer bereits reduzierte ArtikelGültig bis einschließlich 15.03.https://incylence.com/collections/laufsocken

Miti e leggende del Triathlon - puntata 003Pagina ufficiale: https://www.mondotriathlon.it/mitiMITI E LEGGENDE DEL TRIATHLON, in prima visione la nuova puntata sul canale youtube @DaddoSport ogni venerdì alle 19.00!Mark "The Grip" Allen: il triatleta perfetto che ha dovuto cambiare anima per vincereL'incredibile odissea sportiva di Mark Allen, eletto da ESPN come il più grande atleta di endurance di tutti i tempi. Dopo sei anni di sconfitte brucianti contro il rivale Dave Scott all'Ironman di Kona, Allen capisce che per vincere non deve allenare solo il corpo, ma trasformare la propria mente. Attraverso una rivoluzione interiore che unisce il metodo Maffetone, la meditazione e lo sciamanesimo, nasce lo "Zen Master". Il racconto culmina nella leggendaria Iron War del 1989, dove Allen sconfigge i suoi demoni e il suo rivale, dando inizio a un regno di sei vittorie totali alle Hawaii e lasciando un'eredità che va ben oltre lo sport.CAPITOLI0:00 - Introduzione: Chi è Mark Allen, il più grande di sempre1:38 - 1982: L'inizio casuale e la folgorazione televisiva3:15 - L'incubo Dave Scott: 6 anni di sconfitte e "maledizione"4:53 - La rivoluzione interiore: Metodo Maffetone e lo Sciamano5:58 - "The Grip" diventa "Zen Master": Il guerriero e il monaco6:25 - 14 Ottobre 1989: Il giorno della Iron War7:19 - La battaglia mentale: I colpetti sulla caviglia di Scott7:46 - Il sorpasso su Palani Hill: Mark Allen vince Kona8:42 - Record demoliti e il regno del campione (21 vittorie consecutive)10:18 - L'eredità di Mark Allen: Da rivali a fratelli con Dave Scott 11:23 - Conclusione: Qual è la tua personale Iron War?#daddocè #mondotriathlon #ioTRIamo ❤️ #triathlon #trilife #fczstyle #daddosport #govegan #stopgenocide #markallen #davescott #ironwar #ironmanDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mondo-triathlon-daddo-podcast--2275909/support.Questo episodio include contenuti generati dall'IA.

Listeners meet Bianca Fernandez-Clark, a seven-time Ironman finisher, co-founder of Women in Tri UK, and a tireless advocate for inclusion in endurance sport. What begins as a conversation about one woman's journey into triathlon quickly becomes something bigger. This is a story about learning to swim at 29, navigating start lines as a Black Latino woman, and transforming isolation into impact for hundreds of women who deserve to feel seen in triathlon. Bianca did not grow up swimming or cycling. She entered the sport for her mental health and found herself in elite-focused spaces that did not always know what to do with a true beginner. Her first Ironman 70.3 was about making cutoffs rather than podiums. That experience as a beginner triathlete became the blueprint for change. After an unexpected opportunity to race at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, where she became the first Dominican athlete to compete, she realized that representation in triathlon matters more than most people understand. The visibility inspired others back home and clarified her mission moving forward. That mission evolved into Women in Tri UK, a thriving community of more than 700 members. What began as financial support for first-timers has grown into mentorship, research, advocacy, and race partnerships that are shifting the landscape for women in triathlon. From pushing for larger swim caps to advocating for pregnancy deferrals and more inclusive race policies, the work is practical and powerful. This episode reminds us that triathlon is not only about splits and transitions. It is fundamentally about belonging. If you have ever felt like the only one in the room or unsure of where you fit in the sport, this episode is for you. If you are a race director, coach, or teammate wondering how to build diversity and inclusion in triathlon, this conversation offers both heart and a blueprint. And if you are simply a beginner trying to figure it out one workout at a time, you will hear proof that your starting point can become someone else's open door. Listen in, share with a training partner, and keep showing up. The sport grows stronger when more of us see ourselves at the start line. Let's tri this !  Remember to leave a review, share it with your friends, and follow Tri Beginner's luck on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.  And send any questions or feedback you have to  tblpodbiz@tribeginnersluck.com.

I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming back IRONMAN World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay to Find Your Finish Line, and this conversation is one every athlete needs to hear. We talked about her recent surgery, the courage it takes to make tough decisions in pursuit of big goals, and the resilience required to rise again when setbacks show up uninvited. Lucy opened up about racing through pain, winning in Kona, learning to block out the noise, and why bravery is sometimes simply committing to a dream that still scares you. Her honesty about recovery, mindset, and staying patient while the world races ahead is powerful for pros and age groupers alike. If you're chasing something big this year, this episode will light a fire in you. Lucy shares what drives her, why she still believes her best days are ahead, and how she balances ambition with gratitude. She's not just a champion on the course, she's a champion in how she handles adversity.

Keith breaks down where the U.S. housing market appears to be headed and which regions and states are quietly winning or losing in the population shuffle since 2020—and what that could mean for real estate investors.  You'll also hear about an intriguing cash-flow play in single-family rentals in select Southern markets. Then, Keith is joined by financial strategist and comedian Garrett Gunderson, who challenges the usual "scrimp and save" advice. Together, they explore how to build real wealth without sacrificing your life today, how high-net-worth individuals often get money wrong, and a different way to think about financial independence, freedom, and investing in yourself.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:54   Welcome to GRE from Mount Rainier to Mount Rushmore and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and this is get rich education. I am not a Lambo driving influencer that will take any brand deal just to shill a gambling platform instead. Our core strategy at GRE is aging. Well, I've spoken with a lot of LP investors with capital calls and deals that lost all their money. Well, we approach wealth building with discipline and consistency. It doesn't sound dazzling, but it really shines when things go wrong elsewhere, because at least for the core of our portfolios, we get long term fixed rate debt for income property get paid five ways and win the inflation triple crown, and we do it all with a high degree of passivity. Right before I took the mic today, I got a two sentence email from a property manager that said an air conditioning unit's air handler board had to be replaced for $420 I don't even know what an air handler board really is. Now, the manager sent some photos in a written estimate. I quickly checked chat GPT, and I saw that the price was about right, and replied to my manager to go ahead and have that done. That's it an example of relative passivity. US residential real estate has nominally appreciated over every single 10 year period in modern history, despite some occasional short term downturns, even those are not common. Well, we recently had a guest mention that it's 20 years at the longest like 20 years or less is the period of time between which real estate never goes down. He was right. But you actually can't find any 10 year period where home values fell. What about the 2008 global financial crisis, I think that's the first place that the mind goes. Well back then, home values bottomed out at 208k in 2009 before they started growing again. And 10 years before that, the median price it was 157k in 1999 so even when home values hit their GFC low at that point, they were still up 32% from the previous 10 years. So you can confidently say then that over any 10 year period, home prices are up nationally. Now, how about the future? Well, for the future, there is more evidence of rising home prices. Building permits for new homes have fallen to their lowest level since 2019 that's according to the census bureau. So fewer single family homes are being built. Now we plan to discuss that more on. Next week show when we dive deep on does America really have a housing shortage? But this week, more reasons for future home price bullishness is that the labor market now, it's not doing that great. It sure isn't white hot, but unemployment, which was already low, that recently dropped a touch lower to just 4.3% inflation has fallen to 2.4% and wages are rising faster than that. In fact, our own Fed Chair recently remarked at how he's surprised at the strength of the economy. The property market analytics firm kotality, they now expect home prices to appreciate another four and a half percent this year. They and other firms continue to believe that the Midwest will be the hottest area of home price growth even more than that four and a half percent in that region. That is because not only is the Midwest underbuilt, it's that the prices are so affordable that it's attracting young people. The other factor is that mortgage rates recently dipped just below six into the high fives again, and that can release this pent up housing demand, and think about where we've come from. In late 2023 mortgage rates were about 8% and now lower mortgage rates also reduce the lock in effect, so it can create both more sellers and more buyers. The thing to remember is that 70% to 80% of home sellers are also home buyers because they've got to live somewhere. And first time homebuyers, of course, they buy only, they don't sell anything. In fact, former GRE guest in housing wire lead analyst Logan modeshami and Barry Habib were just positing on this at housing wire's latest summit on how the volume of home sales has been depressed for so long that lower rates could very well trigger a rush of buyers, these kind of people that have been delaying purchasing for years, this pent up housing demand being released if indeed rates go lower. People think they know the future, but we don't really know that that's going to happen for sure. But a lot of optimism about this phase of the housing market supported by not great, but decent economic conditions. Of course, that new housing demand is going to manifest unevenly across the nation. So let's talk about the places that have seen the most population growth from 2020 to today, basically the states that support that housing demand. Well, between 2020 and today, the US has grown by about 10 million people. That's over 3% nearly every state grew. But the bigger story is where that growth is happening. And really, here's the jaw dropper as a region, the South, gained more people than all of the other regions combined, about 7.6 million new residents in the south since 2020 the South's population is up 6% the West's almost 2% the Midwest population is up more than 1% and The Northeast up seven tenths of 1% again, this is not per year. This is total population growth from 2020 to today, Florida and Texas, they led the nation among the big states, both up almost 9% sprinting like they just found out that income tax is optional. The Carolinas in Tennessee are big southern growers too. People clearly keep moving toward warmer weather, a lower cost of living, lower taxes and job markets. Nothing new there. California in New York are the biggest losers in absolute numbers, California losing half of 1% of population in New York, a full 1% people keep moving away from these traditionally expensive, high tax coastal states like a buffet when the crab legs run out, people just getting up and leaving. That's not any sort of news story there, either. These trends help cash flow residential real estate investors like us, because the south aligns with that favorable landlord tenant law and those high ratios of rent income to purchase price. Luckily for us, that's where people are moving too. The Midwest has those phenomena as well, although their growth has been slower.    Keith Weinhold  9:39   Now a few Midwest highlights for you. Since 2020 the population of Indiana is up 2.8% quietly benefiting from Illinois. Escape Velocity, Missouri up almost 2% and that's growing mostly in Kansas City and St Louis suburbs. Ohio at almost 1% that's pretty modest growth overall, but Columbus up 5% that is flexing like it just landed a semiconductor plant there in Columbus, the intermountain west has bicep bulging growth, but it rarely works for us, because rents are only a little higher, but property prices are way higher. Yes, those pretty Rocky Mountain states, great Instagram, tough cash flow now Louisiana, it is a state that confounds people. It's a warm place, and it has a low cost of living, you would think Louisiana would be attracting people in droves for those reasons. Well, then why is its population following Louisiana down nine tenths of 1% since 2020 Well, you've got bleak job prospects that make Louisianans leave its tax competitiveness ranks 31st property insurance costs are high thanks to environmental risk. Louisiana has more swamps than beaches. Even the NFL saints were six and 11, and if they had made the playoffs, that wouldn't have made people move back. And hey, no personal shade here, I enjoy going to the New Orleans investment conference in Cajun culture, in Airboat Tours through the alligator filled Bayou, fun stuff, but for income producing property, you got to seek out different characteristics than just vacation Glee or how Good the gumbo tastes keep emotion separate from investing, Hawaii is America's biggest percentage loser. Its population is down one and a half percent since 2020 its cost of living is stratospherically high, with a median home value of just a little over a million dollars. That results in net outmigration to the mainland parts of the Aloha state now experience natural decrease. That means that deaths exceed births. Natural decrease. That's mostly a phenomenon on the Big Island. That's not where Honolulu is. That's where you have Kona and Hilo when young people can't afford to stay demographic gravity kicks in population loss. Hawaii is also highly dependent on tourism, meaning more volatility in recessions. It has contractor availability issues and higher repair costs, partly due to shipping materials to the remote islands. What about the upsides of Hawaiian real estate? Well, you're just going to have this inherent, strong, long term land scarcity and lifestyle desirability overall. Hawaii isn't bad. It's just hard. And I like Hawaii as a place to vacation, so the best times in my life were in Hawaii. Now, with all this said, These are broad generalities about states which are big places themselves right now. There are certainly Missouri real estate investors listening to me that are actually losing, and Hawaii real estate investors that are winning, and even cash flow positive. I'm talking general trends here, and this is with respect to long term rentals, not short term rentals. If your rent to price ratio is as low as point three or point four, like it often is near the coasts, well then you are speculating on appreciation. That's what that means. All 50 states have opportunity. All 50 states have no go zones. People keep moving south. That's a trend that the pandemic accelerated six years ago. More opportunity is concentrated there. That's got nothing to do with vacation excitement. That is population math, and I'm talking about swimming with the tide here in our Don't quit your Daydream newsletter I recently sent you that colorful population change map that I was describing some of there. More recently, I also emailed you that great and rare map of landlord friendly versus tenant friendly states mapped out and a lot of other great stuff.    Keith Weinhold  14:17   Before we bring in our firebrand guest, Garrett Gunderson, I just learned about a really strong opportunity for a provider of single family rentals and duplexes in Memphis and Little Rock. They're providing a locked in 5% interest rate and 5% property management for five years. Yeah, that's not a throwback to 2020 it's what mid south homebuyers calls their triple five program. They are the oldest and most trusted, maybe turnkey investment provider in the country, operating since 2002 and what they do is they offer these fully renovated, occupied rental properties in Memphis and Little Rock, two of the strongest cash flow markets in the South. With financing and management and rates that make the math work like it hasn't in years. So again, 5% interest, 5% property management fees for a full five years. You know those markets, they already had these investor advantage numbers with rent to price ratios mere point eight in Memphis and Little Rock. But yeah, that low 5% mortgage rate, even for renovated properties, not just new build. That's the kind of spread that turns a good deal into a great one. So to give you an idea, if you get a 30 year fixed rate mortgage loan amount of 125k with a 7% mortgage rate, your principal and interest payment is 832, at a 5% rate, it's just 671, so that's $160 more cash flow right there, and it's made a tad sweetener than that with just a 5% Property Management rate. And I don't know how long that offer is going to last, but it is available now and for the next little while, you can ask about it. When you visit mid southhomebuyers.com that's mid southhomebuyers.com and you can ask them about their triple five program. More next. I'm Keith Weinhold.

He's a prominent financial strategist. Founded an eight figure company, hit the Inc 500 he's both a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. He is just an electric speaker, including appearances in front of dozens of billionaires. And he's just got this great way of speaking to financial freedom that hits you differently. He even has a comedy special that's great to welcome back to the show. Garrett Gunderson,   Garrett Gunderson  19:02   that's good to be back. Man. Is really good. Love your energy. Has a nice intro.   Keith Weinhold  19:07   Well, you give a lot of like, nice guidance to people that's somewhat different than they're used to hearing. You know, Garrett, I think a lot of the conventional guidance is, you know, it's not very far above Elementary School advice like, put your credit card in the freezer so you don't use it too often, but a lot of times you speak to either business owners or people that have already had some success, and I think a lot of your underlying mantra is, hey, you better live your best life now   Garrett Gunderson  19:35   I kind of feel like you are your greatest asset, and if you starve out that asset because you don't feed it with knowledge, or you don't invest in yourself, or you don't gain the skills that really matter because you're so addicted to scrimping and sacrificing and building your balance sheet right, trying to build savings accounts and retirement plans and doing all you can to pay off that mortgage. Yeah, you could become a millionaire on paper. But will you live like one? Will you enjoy your. Life. What about all the memories that you miss along the way? What about having quality of life today and creating a life you don't want to retire from? The wealthy people, they didn't get that way because they shrunk their way there. They didn't get that way because they were amazing budgeters. They built businesses. They created value. They learned how to, you know, sell or speak or market or have business acumen that grow business or to hire people, and having those systems that actually impact more people or more deeply impact the people that they serve, because it's about value creation and their value creators. And I think this notion of just thinking, Oh, I could just trade time for money and set money aside. Man, that's a really painful way to get to a million dollars, but Northwestern Mutual, they just put out an article that said, 32 or 34% of millionaires don't feel wealthy, because if you have money tied up in an account that isn't kicking off cash flow, it doesn't feel like wealth. You can't spend that net worth. It's just a statement if you don't learn how to create cash flow. And I love financial independence, where people have cash flow from assets to cover their expenses now their lifestyle is covered from that cash flow. Now they can reinvest every active dollar into themselves and their quality of life, into more cash flowing assets, into taking trips along the way, not just waiting until they're too old to enjoy it.   Keith Weinhold  21:13   You work with business owners all the time, and you've even worked with some ultra high net worth people that still seemed to scrimp and save. Do you think really, what is that the function of? Is it more of the wrong mindset or the wrong tactics when someone acts that way?   Garrett Gunderson  21:32   It's a mindset that's really kind of handed down to them? Yeah, maybe from their parents or grandparents or from a different era, like there's people that were, you know, in the Great Depression, that then tells stories to their family about how tough it was, and you never know when that money could go away. So you got to hold tight, and it's a scarcity mindset. So one of the wealthiest clients I ever had, I mean, this was a guy who he was worth a lot of money, but you would never know it. I saw him on TV one day. I was like, Dude, he needs new clothes, and we found a strategy to save him a bunch of money. He was just buying his inventory with cash or like, let's buy it on a plum card, and you'll get cash back. I just said, Just take 10% of that cash back, which was over $100,000 a month, and spend it on yourself. He's like, Well, I wouldn't know to spend it on I'm like, Well, how about some new clothes to start with? He's like, Okay. And then the next month, he bought a nest system for his house. The next month he bought a sound system. Eventually, saved up enough money to buy a Tesla, which he really wanted, like it was money that was there for him, but it changed his entire paradigm, because now he had a quality of life. He was very philanthropic and donated money. He built massive businesses, but he never treated himself well. He'd never felt like it was okay to spend that money because of his upbringing, because the way that his parents viewed money and the way that their parents viewed money, and it was always something that felt scarce. So it felt like, okay, will this go away? And the reality was, we just found money in your couch cushions, essentially. So why not enjoy it along the way? He eventually bought a home that he loved on the water, that he loves the garden. I mean, it was like a total transformation with that one simple thing to help him heal his relationship with money, overcome scarcity, because he was already highly productive. He just had to break free from this budgetary mindset.   Keith Weinhold  23:09   That's great. It was almost like, Dude, I can see it in you. Before we even talk. You got that code off the rack at Burlington. I swear you can do better than this. Come on, now   Garrett Gunderson  23:17    30 years ago, 30 years ago too. You know, it doesn't even fit anymore.   Keith Weinhold  23:23   Well, you know, I recently dedicated a complete episode Garrett to the way I put it is that the risk of delayed gratification is denied gratification. Now, there are some good things to be said for delayed gratification, I think, especially when you're younger, or you're just starting out in the working world, and you just tried to cover rent for your apartment and you don't have much else. Delaying some gratification is good. You need to form capital. You need to get liquid. I try to avoid saying stacking savings, because that gets people in the mindset of becoming super savers sometimes, and they miss out on returns. But what I mean about the risk of delayed gratification, being denied gratification, if it's taken too great of an extent, is, you know, I'm talking about the guy where, when he was 24 he used to say, Oh, I'm going to visit the Galapagos Islands someday. That's what I want to do. But you can just tell by the time you talk to the dude, when he's 48 he begins to use the past tense for things he wanted to do, for example, then he might start saying, Oh, well, I guess I never did visit the Galapagos Islands. You know, you can tell with people when they use the past tense, and that's when you know that their future is not bigger than their past, and a lot of that is the reflection of their financial status.   Garrett Gunderson  24:40   I got married at age 23 and the first two years, well, it was really like the first year and a half, maybe I was just such a miser. I gave my wife a $400 a month budget for an apartment, and we found out that there's places you don't want to live in Utah. I didn't know it, but she's like, is this what you want? And I was like, This doesn't feel like a safe neighborhood. And then you. Know, I was like, All right, maybe $600 I was still kind of really scarce. And my parents were like, Why don't you just live in our basement, rent free, and my wife's like, sex free. If you think that's where we're living, I'm gonna live in my parents basement, you know? Because I just thought money was something to save. So I saved me over 50% of my income. And a lot of people were like, that's amazing. Congratulations. Great job. And so I felt really good about it, and then I realized that my business wasn't growing as fast as this other person my age. I met him at an event, and a year later, he was doing better. And I was like, Dude, what's going on? I could hear it in your voice. I could hear like, you're just a different person. He goes, Oh, I'm doing two things. One, I just hired this guy, Steve D'Annunzio, and he changed my entire life. And I was like, I need to meet him. He's like, he happens to be here in Vegas. He's from Rochester. Introduced me. I hired him as my coach right away. I'm hearing all these people talk about strategic coach at the same event, and they had a booth. So I signed up for Strategic Coach, which meant I had to part with some of my money. Think it was $7,500 I hired Steve as a one on one mentor, and all of a sudden I was investing in myself, yeah. And I broke free from those chains of like, reduction and restriction into the game of production. And then I even had a situation where a woman called me out at the same event. This was a life changing event where she's like, I wonder what it's like living in a financial prison you built for your wife. It's like, Oh, see, that's what happened. I thought I was responsible, and building that responsibility that's actually building walls. And when I came home for that event, my wife and I started looking for our home. Within a few months, we found one. I bought a home. It was very easily within my means. I basically made as much as I paid for this house that we loved. We lived there for nine years. We built so many memories. You know, we had our two kids while we were there, I started host study groups, and that year, I grew my income by $170,000 with the coaching of strategic coach, Steve dnunzio And this woman, Nancy, calling me out. The next year, it grew by even more because the skills started to compound. I decided from that moment forward, I would spend at least $40,000 a year, which I might be able to reach for some people, but at least $40,000 a year on mentors. Is a guy named Alan. He writes my meal plans and my workouts, and I'm at 10% body fat because he knows exactly what they do. I do what he says. It was worth this $10,000 investment, because now I pay attention what I pay for, and I look at like if I'm my greatest asset, how can I create more energy? How can I create more value? How can I feel better about myself? How can I show up the very best version of I am, so I can deliver the most to the other people. And so I've always just been in amazing groups. I just got back from two different events in Beverly Hills around amazing people, learning incredible things that allow me to grow. I haven't spent a huge amount of money on a mentor last year to figure out something that I hadn't been able to figure out to this point. It's the same thing I did to become a speaker, to become a writer or even learn how to sell or market, you've got to invest in the skill, not just in the savings account. You grow yourself first, and then you grow your money. If you starve yourself out because you're in that miserly mindset, you're going to stunt your growth and never be fully fulfilled.   Keith Weinhold  27:56   You're your own best investment. And yes, this stuff is the varying definition of investing in yourself. Don't live below your means. Grow your means and all of that.   Garrett Gunderson  28:05   Grow your means and be more efficient within your means. I mean, the best way I know how to save is not overpay on tax, which 98% of business owners are doing that today. You know, don't overpay on interest, because you either restructure your loans, renegotiate your interest rates, reallocate underpouring funds to pay it off, or you remove investment drag. A lot of people have unnecessary fees and hidden commissions that drag on their investments. Or just design your insurance properly so it's more efficient. Those four i's, IRS, interest, investments and insurance show you how to keep more of what you make, take some of that money, build up your foundation so you have a peace of mind fund, so you have staying power, at least six months of liquidity and then invest more into yourself or learn how to create cash flow. This is the game the wealthy play. But the poor middle class, they think it's about paying off a mortgage and funding the retirement plan, and they will argue about it until it's too late, when they get there and now their homes paid off, but the property taxes are higher than their mortgage was 20 years ago, you know. Or they have home maintenance they have to take care of, or inflation has destroyed the value. Like if someone were to put away 100 grand and they wait for 30 years if they got 10% which the market did the last 30 years, if you reinvest dividends, they're going to have right around $1.7 million but if they have to pay 2% in fees, fiduciary fees, 12 b1 fees, which are marketing fees for the fund expense ratio, you know, the fees of maybe a retirement plan, and they now have 2% fees. It only goes to 1.1 million. Huge difference. And that 1.1 million if we account for inflation, even if we said inflation was low, like 2.7% over that 30 years. Well, by the time we pay for inflation and tax, guess what? The purchasing power value is like, 300 grand $300,000 that's a problem, and it's because they didn't learn to create cash flow. It's because they didn't learn to invest in themselves. It's because they relied completely on a market they don't control. I'm not saying the market is completely something to avoid. I'm saying we go in sequence. How do you grow your income for. First, then how do you keep more of the income you make with? You know, financial savvy and plugging leaks. Then learn to grow your money, but maybe growing your money. For some I like to think of like three dimensional assets, like real estate's three dimensional. It can grow in equity, it can create cash flow, and it has tax advantages. But my business is three dimensional, the more my business creates cash flow, without me, the more equity it has, and that business has major tax advantages. So most people are one dimensional, pay off a loan, put a money in retirement account. That's the poor, middle class. Wealthy people build a system where they've got three dimensional assets, equity, cash flow and tax savings. And that is a complete game changer, because then they can employ the buy borrowed I strategy, if you have assets like, you know, an individual stock, or if you have assets, like a piece of real estate or a business, you could borrow against it. There's no tax on that five for life, right? You keep refinancing. Or you can even do charitable trust to avoid the taxes upon the sell of those paying no tax when there's gains. Or you can pass it on to the next generation with a step up in basis, which means they get it at the full value and not have to pay the difference. And if you have life insurance, the life insurance will pay back the loan that tax free as well. So buy, borrow, die. I mean, it's a completely different thought process of defer taxes. If you defer taxes, I get it. You could do a Roth IRA or Roth 401. K Sure, that'll let you put after tax money in and grow it. But where's the cash flow? What's the underlying investment? How does it help you create financial independence? How does it help you does it help you grow your skills to become a better investor? We've been taught to be lazy, not that people are lazy. We've just been taught to be lazy with our money. We've been fed a narrative. I don't have the time, I don't have the skill, I don't have the interest, but I want to have it, so I just hand it over. And who do we hand it over to Keith Wall Street. Wall would you trust Wall Street? Like you flew to Frankfurt not long ago. Would you get on Wall Street airlines where they're like, hey, sometimes our planes go up, sometimes they go down. That would brand, and he'd feel inspired, right? Would you go to Wall Street, you know, hospital? Or like, hey, he lost one of your kidneys, and by loss, we stole it and resold it. You know, like, Wall Street doesn't have a brand. That's good. It's boiler room. It's Wolf of Wall Street. It's the movie Wall Street with Michael Douglas. You know, greed is good like yet that's what people put their money into. And you can go to any downtown and any major city, and guess who has the biggest buildings, insurance companies, banks and Wall Street investment companies. So you're taking the size of your home and shrinking it to build up their building and put money in their pocket. And their story is, it's because they're Ivy League, they're smart. They try to make it complicated, but you don't have to know most of the things you think you need to know about finance. The foundational things are important, how to protect your assets, how to design insurance, to transfer risk, how to have some liquidity, how to automate your savings. And then you focus like Warren Buffett would teach. He said, You know how people would become a better investor if they only had 20 investments they could make over their lifetime? He says, I don't diversify because I'm in the know. He's like, I'm a good businessman, therefore I'm a good investor and I'm a good investor because I'm a good businessman. I don't separate the two. Yeah, most people think he's a stock market investor. No, he buys out the companies in the stock market. Rarely does he have minority stakes in it. He does have some of that, maybe with Coca Cola and apple, but he bought a lot of companies outright, whether it was Geico, whether it was See's Candies, whether it was like he buys these companies, he's so far outperformed the stock market by billions of dollars from an index fund like what he has, versus someone that put the same money in an index fund, Warren has billions more from his investments than the person that put all their money in the index fund, even if it was the same amount. It's completely about strategy, not about luck.   Keith Weinhold  33:30   Yeah, it's the Andrew Carnegie, put all your eggs in one basket and then watch your basket. Yeah? Watch that basket like a hawk. Totally. Yeah. I mean, stacks mutual funds, they have what I call those five simultaneous drags. If you think you're getting a 10% long term return over time, subtract out inflation, emotion, taxes, fees and volatility. What do you have left? Not much. But there's no friction there. It is just the easiest thing to do ever since decades ago, 401 K contributions begin to become automated throughout your paycheck, sometimes even automatically, automated   Garrett Gunderson  34:04   values your permission opt out. It's easy. You have to opt out, right? It's Big Brother. You don't know what's best for you. And by the way, how crazy are four one K's. Part of the reason the market has gone up in value is because people consistently fund for one case, whether the market's going up or down, they're told $8 cost average. So that's artificially fueling the market. When we see the numbers, there's a buffet index, and it's like 2.9 times higher than what he's comfortable with, with the stock market, because of how overinflated the market is, partially due to inflation, partially because people put money in. But let's remember, why did 401, K's even come about? Because pensions failed. And by the way, these pensions failed and they had world class money managers managing these multi billion dollar pensions, but they didn't know about something called disinvesting, or didn't know enough about it. When the market goes down and pension money is owed, they still have to pull money out of the pension to pay the employee which disinvests, which pulls more money out of the account. So now instead of just being 10% down, they might be 17% down. And so even if the market comes back 10% it's 10% of only 83% of the money. So not even back to square one. And if it goes down a second year in a row, they're in real trouble. It starts to chip away at the principal, and they can't recover. And that happened to pensions, and they said, Oh, here, we can't handle these. We're going bankrupt. We're going to get rid of pensions. You take care of it. Well, guess what? Vanguard says, the average balance in a 401, k right now is $148,000 how someone's supposed to live on $148,000 even if you could get 10% that's $14,800 a year taxable, that's not going to do it. Even if you have a million dollars, where are you going to put the million dollars to get the return without risking it going down? Maybe you're going to be in treasuries at 5% that's $50,000 taxable per year. You're a millionaire on paper, but living poorly. That's why I'm here to call these things out. I think that my book Killing Sacred Cows, which was my original New York Times bestseller, which is probably how we met. Yeah, I rewrote it. I rewrote it, rereleased it in 2024 and I'll give people the audiobook. They just have to DM me on Instagram. Garrett B Gunderson and DM the word cows with Keith's name, cows and Keith or Keith and cows. I'll hook you up with the book for free, so you can learn about the nine financial myths. We're talking about some of them here, but there's also some comedy in there, so they can laugh after each chapter. I threw some comedy in there. You know, if you like my comedy, I'm not the funniest comedian. I'm just the funniest money comedian. That's the reality.   Keith Weinhold  36:33   When we had the very inventor of the 401 k plan, Ted benna, come onto the show, he revealed to us that when 401 K plans rolled out, they were first called salary reduction plans. They had to scrap that name in order to foster participation. But reducing your salary is still principally what it does to you. You got to think about it that way and blow up some of these myths. But Garrett, you've already given a lot of great technical information about what someone can do, how someone can think differently. Bigger pictures, we're sort of winding down here. You know, when I'm thinking about this whole delayed versus denied gratification thing, how do you meter it out right throughout your life? I mean, what's your earmark your family legacy? How do you meter it out, right so you don't have too much or too little at the end of your life?   Garrett Gunderson  37:15   I like to see this strategy of, like, what would the rockfellers do that I wrote about is, you know, the beginning before that strategy is you pay yourself first, which has always been around Richest Man in Babylon. Tons of books talk about it. My argument is you want to pay yourself at least 15% of your personal income, off the top, to a separate account. Once you get six months in that account, now you start to invest that money, but you build your stability with that peace of mind. And we want 15% because the luxury once enjoyed becomes a necessity. So you want more money in the future, not the future, not less propensity to you know, there's also, just like planned obsolescence, things break down. You have to repair them. Technological change, we're buying new technology that doesn't even exist. I have now subscriptions to a bunch of AI things that help me out, right? But I'm spending more money. There's also taxes, those could go up in the future, or 38 trillion in debt as we film this, which is a crazy number. And there's also inflation. If we give 3% to each of those five factors, that's 15% now again, use the four i's, IRS, interest, investments and insurance to find that money, not just budgeting. But then here's the magic. At least 3% of your income should go to a separate account called the Living wealthy account. That's your guilt free spending, value based spending account, so you enjoy some money along the way. These are the things that are the finer things in life that people might say are wasteful. You know, there's a book called unreasonable hospitality that talks about this, 11 Madison Avenue was the number one rated restaurant in the world. And, you know, will who wrote the book talked about they had 3% of their budget to just go wild on their customers dream making money, right? So to create the special experience in the restaurant, and even the bear, I think was season three, showed some of that process of how they do that. So I highly recommend taking a certain percentage. You get to enjoy along the way. It could be higher than 3% but start there, and you're going to feel better, you're going to have different energy, you're going to show up in a different way. And then from there, I just believe in having trust, so that your money's outside of your estate, and protecting financial predators so you own nothing but control everything. And I personally use life insurance. I use just standard over, you know, like basically properly structured, optimally funded whole life, so that death benefit will come in after I die. It allows me to spend more of my money and then have it replenished so I can enjoy more of my money along the way, because I know that death benefit will be there for my wife or even for my family trust after I'm gone, so I don't disinherit the people that I love.   Keith Weinhold  39:31   Garrett Gunderson, he can take you through these steps, which he calls financially fit, to financially independent, and then finally to financially free. Tell us a little more about that going through those steps.   Garrett Gunderson  39:44   So financial fitness means your financial house is in order. You've got everything handled properly, car insurance, homeowners, liability, disability, medical life insurance, your corporate structures as a business owner, how you pay yourself, your taxes the last three years and move. Moving forward your investments. It's like, you know what it's going on. You've improved your cash flow, and you're dialed in. You're as safe as you could possibly be. Then financial independence is, how can we create income, especially from a business that comes in when you don't, that's people, that's processes, that's technology, so that you can be involved, but you don't have to be involved. This is the part most people miss, yeah, and I think it's crazy. A lot of people have this notion they're just going to work so hard so they can sell their business one day, I'm like, What about just creating a business that you love so much you don't want to sell it? What about giving up the things that are burning you out and have the employees that can take care of that so you do the things that you love and then just enjoy life along the way, take some little trips, take some time off and come back in. The business grows up when you're away, they learn how to do things without you, and then you can still create value into that business. I sold the business in 2021 and really regretted it, because I kind of was so removed from the business. I kind of felt like it lost its soul and I didn't feel connected to it. So this time around, I started a business in July of 2024 I'm like, I'm only going to work with the P with the people I love, building things that I love, and I'm not going to let myself get burned out by doing too much. We're going to take two weeks in Hawaii coming up here in April, just enjoy some time together as a family. We do quarterly family retreats with my wife and kids. We do traditions with my family up at my cabin, like I want to have this great life where it's blurs the lines between work and play. I have a little quote from someone else that talks about that art of life is blurring the lines between work and play, but also just having complete play sometimes that there is no work. So I come back refreshed, relaxed, rejuvenated and ready to create. And so really, that financial independence gives you permission to swing for the fences and what you do, knowing your foundation is handled, knowing that your lifestyle is covered, from assets to create cash flow gives you work optional freedom. But instead of retiring, think, what could your biggest impact be like? Create the life you don't want to retire from. Create a vision so compelling you can dedicate your life to it and find that the win is actually in the work, not just the outcome. I think that is the elegance of we win when we play, and when we have more play in our life. We don't try to escape from something. And when you start something, you might have to do things you hate, but you can eventually delegate it, and then life becomes great. I mean, one of my early coaches, Dan Sullivan, who I mentioned, a strategic coach. He's in his 80s, still behemoth of creating value in the in the market. To listen to him, you know, he's phenomenal. He's made such a huge difference in my life, and he has no intent of retiring. He just gets smarter every year, adds more value, builds more infrastructure, and he's the one that taught me the merit of free days, just taking time off, taking time away. So, yeah, that's financial independence. Is cash flow, and then financial freedom is a state of mind. It's when money is no longer the primary reason or excuse you would do or not do something. It's a consideration, but it's no longer the consideration means that you have a healthy relationship with money. Money is an asset and an ally, not an enemy. You don't come from a place of scarcity. You come from a place of abundance. You can be more present with your family and doing what you do without feeling distracted. I think wealth is our ability to be present, not necessarily how much money we have in a bank account. I think we have a good amount of money in a bank account, and we can be present. That is like true wealth.   Keith Weinhold  43:12   It harkens back to the John D Rockefeller, he who works all day has no time to make money. Rockefeller would have said, you can architect a wealth plan if your head is down on the assembly line, that means gradually move your offer. It's from trading your time for dollars over to owning assets that pay you to own them. Garrett's comedy special is called the American Ream. There's no D in that word, R, E, A, M. You can look that up, Garrett. It's been enlightening as always. Thanks so much for coming back onto the show.   Garrett Gunderson  43:43   Hey man, good to be back.   Keith Weinhold  43:51   Always. A lively conversation with Garrett, besides some great mindset perspective, he's really good at saving you tax and setting you up with asset protection. Though he's not as real estateish as me, he's pretty savvy. For example, He's aligned on the fact that, for example, say you have an 80k debt. Well, it doesn't necessarily mean that it makes sense for you to pay that off sometimes it does, but what happens to your net worth anytime you pay off an 80k debt, well, let's see. You've reduced your asset side by 80k and you've reduced your debt side by 80k so your net worth is the same, and retiring the debt means that you might have lost leverage, lost cash flow and lost tax advantages, all at the same time on Instagram, send a DM with the two words, Keith Cows to Garrett B Gunderson, and he'll hook you up with his book for free next week on the show, we go deep on does America really have a housing shortage with an expert analyst.

Sua infância foi marcada pela música e pelas brincadeiras de rua. Aos cinco anos, começou a estudar música e, depois da escola, participava de corridas de bicicleta com os meninos e nos finais de semana jogava tênis. Em casa, a mãe deixava claro que o estudo vinha antes do lazer, e a disciplina se estabeleceu muito cedo, antes mesmo de ela compreender o que isso significava. Na adolescência, perdeu a mãe e o esporte ganhou mais estrutura. Jogou vôlei pelo Banespa e formou-se em violão clássico. Quando surgiu uma oportunidade no Esporte Clube Pinheiros, migrou para o atletismo. Competiu em provas de velocidade e meio-fundo, passou pelos 200, 400 e 800 metros, integrou revezamentos, disputou competições em nível sul-americano e viveu alguns dos anos mais intensos da sua vida esportiva. A transição para a vida profissional exigiu escolhas práticas. Apesar de cogitar a Educação Física, o contato com um dos maiores nomes do atletismo brasileiro, João do Pulo, mostrou que viver do esporte não parecia promissor naquela época. Optou pela Engenharia Química e passou a jogar handball na faculdade. A carreira foi sendo construída, o conhecimento aprimorado e veio o casamento. Nasceram dois filhos e, por muitos anos, o esporte deixou de ser prioridade. Com a carreira estabilizada e os filhos já na pré-adolescência, ela voltou a correr. Em 2007, dois anos após o reencontro com a modalidade, completou sua primeira maratona. Desde então, participou de doze, em diferentes países. A bicicleta reapareceu em 2015, através uma mountain bike recebida de presente do marido. Após algumas competições, migrou para a estrada, onde passou a explorar e apreciar distâncias maiores. O triathlon surgiu em 2018 como mais um desafio. Começou pelas provas curtas, avançou para as longas distâncias e encontrou ali um ambiente propício para fazer o que mais gosta: treinar, competir e sair da zona de conforto, absorvendo os aprendizados que o esporte oferece. Foram 35 competições, 30 pódios e seis provas de Ironman, duas delas em Kona, no Havaí. Conosco aqui, a engenheira química com mestrado em finanças e marketing, engenharia mecânica e executivo internacional, ex-professora de música, executiva de uma multinacional e triatleta competitiva que em 2025 participou dos mundiais de Ironman e Ironman 70.3, a paulistana Márcia Regina da Silva Rios.

Most athletes only think about heat training two weeks before flying to Kona. That's reactive. Used early in the season, heat training can increase plasma volume, improve heart rate control and build durability before racing even starts. This episode was recorded last year and I'm re-releasing it now because this is exactly when smart athletes should be using it. I'm joined by Lindsey Hunt from Precision Fuel & Hydration to break down how it works and how to apply it safely.   In This Episode • Why heart rate spikes in hot conditions • How plasma volume rises in just a few days • The difference between acclimation and acclimatisation • Whether it helps if you race in the UK • Lab vs DIY approaches • How long adaptations last   KEY QUOTE “Often our ability to lose heat limits performance more than our actual fitness.”   To follow Lindsey or Precision Fuel and hydration please check out the following social media channels Twitter (personal) -  LindseyHunt_24 Instagram (PF&H) - Precision Fuel & Hydration   Instagram (personal) - Lindseyh.u.n.t.

Bevor es an die Rennanalyse geht, nimmt uns Fred mit auf seine 52-stündige Odyssee ans andere Ende der Welt. Die Reise via Los Angeles und Auckland hatte alles zu bieten : Strenge Einreisekontrollen für getragene Laufschuhe , ein verpasster Anschlussflug , zwölf Stunden Wartezeit mit Dayroom und Thai-Massage und schließlich heftige Turbulenzen im Anflug auf Queenstown – bei denen Fred schon überlegte, welchen Song er bei einem Absturz auf keinen Fall hören möchte. Trotzdem blieb der Whoop-Recovery-Wert grün!Nach einem Sauna-Battle gegen Local Legend Braden Currie stand der Saisonauftakt bei der Challenge Wanaka an. Bei eisigen 4 Grad Außentemperatur und 18 Grad im Wasser ging es an den Start. Fred berichtet von einem extrem cleveren Schwimmen in der Verfolgergruppe , dem ersten Härtetest der 20-Meter-Regel mit dem Race Ranger und starken 348 Watt Normalized Power auf den rauen "Chip"-Straßen. Nach eingefrorenen Füßen in der Wechselzone und einem muskulär zähen Laufstart wachten seine Beine auf, und er konnte sich mit einem starken Endspurt an einem Konkurrenten vorbei den 3. Platz sichern.Der volle Fokus liegt nun aber auf dem Ironman Neuseeland und der Qualifikation für Hawaii. Wir analysieren das Feld um Mike Phillips, Jack Moody, Kyle Smith und Trevor Foley. Zudem hat Fred exklusive News vom letzten Trainingslager auf Lanzarote im Gepäck: Er verrät, warum die "Norboys" Gustav Iden (umgeknickt) und Casper Stornes (Achillessehne) ihren Start absagen mussten.Themen in dieser Episode:Vorbereitung: Letztes Bikefitting, neue Radschuhe und 10kg Nutrition im Gepäck.52 Stunden Reise-Chaos: Verpasste Flüge, fehlende Mietwagen-Codes und Todesangst bei Turbulenzen.Rennbericht Challenge Wanaka: Eisige Kälte, taktisches Schwimmen und raue Straßen.Race Ranger Härtetest: Wie schwer es wirklich ist, die 20-Meter-Windschattenregel einzuhalten.Ausblick Ironman Neuseeland: Wer sind Freds stärkste Konkurrenten um die vier Kona-Slots?.Verletzungs-Update: Warum Gustav Iden und Casper Stornes ihren Start absagen mussten.Werbung:Teste Whoop 4 Wochen kostenlos: ⁠WHOOP TESTEN⁠

Inside the Agoge Brotherhood Retreat in Kona, Hawaii. This wasn't a vacation. It was a reset.This weekend wasn't about motivation. It was about getting honest.Most men don't need another speech. They need real connection, real accountability, and real tools that still work when life hits hard again.In this video, you'll see what happens inside the Agoge Brotherhood Retreat: physical training, jiu jitsu, hard conversations, stillness, discipline, and brotherhood built through pressure.If you've been drifting…If you feel like you're not the man you used to be…If you know you were made for more but haven't acted on it…This is for you.The next retreat is in Surf City, North Carolina — July 23–26, 2026.If this resonates, don't ignore it.Apply or get details here:https://linktw.in/jcvtIwThis experience is built for men who are ready to respond instead of react, lead their families well, rebuild discipline, and operate from clear values instead of emotion.Life will still be waiting when you get home. The difference is how you handle it.Comment below: What do you need to leave behind this year?

We review the racing from Challenge Wanaka last weekend and what the acquisition of Challenge by the PTO might mean for racing going forward. Regan Hollioake, the defending IRONMAN New Zealand champion, reflects on her journey as a professional triathlete. We chat about her season last year and the financial realities of being a professional athlete, plus the unique challenges of travel and race selection, particularly for athletes based in Australia and New Zealand. Regan shares with us the issues she's faced managing hydration levels in hot races like Kona and her thoughts on the upcoming race at IMNZ and the excitement of returning as a defending champion. 00:00 – Challenge Wanaka and the acquisition of Challenge by the PTO 18:34 – IRONMAN Cairns free race entry competition 20:42 – Regan Hollioake 53:54 – The triathlon calendar 2026 LINKS: IRONMAN New Zealand at https://www.ironman.com/races/im-new-zealand Follow Regan Hollioake on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/rlhollioake/ Challenge Wanaka at https://challengefamily.com/ IRONMAN Cairns at https://www.ironman.com/races/im-cairns

Description:  Bill & Michael Wurth (Succession Capital's Regional Vice President) discuss "Carrier Endorsed" Premium Finance opportunities in today's evolving landscape. Whether it's marketing to business owners, high net worth individuals, charitable solutions, policy reviews, creative estate planning or tax savings strategies, many opportunities may exist. Modern premium financing for life insurance began in 1996 when CEO Julian Movsesian was challenged by a High-Net-Worth Client to come up with a method for using leverage to enhance the purchase of life insurance. This challenge led to the creation of the "Capital Maximization Strategy℠ (CMS), which provided Clients with a better way to buy life insurance. Each client requires a unique plan reflecting their capital, income, business, tax, estate, and charitable objectives. In collaboration with Advisory Teams, SCA tailors custom plans to achieve each client's goals. Levinson & Associates has teamed up with SCA to help our agents help their clientele with these creative financial solutions, as discussed in episode 65. Michael's Bio: Michael Wurth joined Succession Capital in January 2021. Hired before the official Vice President program was put in place, Michael spent his first 2 years at SCA supporting Michael Rothman and managing all cases in underwriting. His territory includes San Diego, Inland Empire, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Alaska, and Hawaii. Prior to joining SCA, Michael worked for Apple in their Beijing office, where he was the only non-native Chinese speaker on Apple's team of 250 employees. He was specifically responsible for analyzing the financials and setting targets for iPhone sales in the Greater China region, a $50 Billion dollar revenue generating group. After his time in China, he completed his MBA in Barcelona, Spain in 2019 before launching his own Search Fund after graduation. Aside from work, Michael is passionate about education and his faith. He and his wife started a Catholic Classical Education school in Southern California called The Camino School. Michael received his undergraduate degrees in International Business and Chinese Language and Culture from the University of Southern California and his MBA and Spanish degree from IESE in Barcelona. Michael and his wife met in Rome and have been married since 2019. They live in Aliso Viejo, CA with their three sons (Michael, Lucas, & George), their daughter (Lola), and Chocolate Lab, Kona.

This week we start with a big result for Maya Kingma, who has won her first professional cycling race. After previously talking about triathletes trying to make the jump into cycling, it's a result that feels genuinely significant. We then move to Lucy Charles-Barclay, who has undergone surgery, and where that leaves her as she looks ahead to the rest of the season. From there, the conversation turns to Lionel Sanders. Lionel has suggested this might be his final Kona, which has led many to wonder whether retirement could be closer than expected. As always, even a small comment from Lionel quickly becomes a talking point. We then shift focus to racing in the southern hemisphere, starting with Challenge Wanaka. With both the pro series and T100 kicking off in the south this year, Wanaka is well placed to benefit from that early-season momentum. Next up is the Ironman New Zealand start list, where names like Kristian Blummenfelt, Kat Matthews, and Kyle Smith give the race real weight. We finish the episode by looking ahead to the T100 Gold Coast, and what this season could have in store as the series continues to take shape.

Miti e leggende del Triathlon - puntata 001Pagina ufficiale: https://www.mondotriathlon.it/mitiRipercorriamo l'evoluzione dell'Ironman, "creato" nel 1977 da una scommessa tra il comandante della Marina John Collins e i suoi amici per stabilire chi fosse l'atleta più resistente.La prima competizione originale del 1978 combinava tre gare preesistenti alle Hawaii in un unico evento estremo di 140,6 miglia (226 chilometri).Grazie alla copertura mediatica di Sports Illustrated e della ABC, il triathlon è passato da una sfida per pochi pionieri a un fenomeno globale capace di ispirare il grande pubblico.Il trasferimento dell'evento a Kona e momenti iconici, come la drammatica scalata verso il traguardo di Julie Moss, hanno trasformato questa prova in un simbolo di resilienza umana.Negli anni, il marchio si è espanso introducendo il professionismo, premi paritari tra generi e nuove sedi internazionali come Nizza.#daddocè #mondotriathlon #ioTRIamo ❤️#triathlon #trilife #fczstyle #daddosport #govegan#stopgenocideDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mondo-triathlon-daddo-podcast--2275909/support.

Most triathletes are limited not by their physical capacity to train more or harder, but by being time-limited, so we're constantly looking for ways to make more out of the time we have to train. Nowhere is this challenge greater than when training for Ironman or other full distance triathlon races on a limited time budget. In this episode, coach Natasha Van Der Merwe joins me to discuss how to deal with this challenge in the context of age-group triathlon training.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: How to maximize your triathlon training outcomes on a limited time budget - even if you're training for an Ironman! How do you know when you're really just limited by time and training volume? If you are volume-limited, how can you get around that when you don't really have more time to spare. Listener questions: effective microcycle structures in triathlon, how to become more efficient at training, and moreDETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

Passione Triathlon n° 351Claudio Panichiprotagonista della nuova puntata di Passione Triathlon.In questa emozionante puntata di Passione Triathlon, il Daddo ospita Claudio Panichi, un atleta che incarna perfettamente il concetto di resilienza. Claudio racconta la sua vita sportiva "caotica", passata dal windsurf all'endurance scoperto solo a 50 anni per necessità lavorative. Nonostante due operazioni di protesi totale alle ginocchia, Claudio è riuscito a tornare competitivo, vincendo un titolo mondiale di Aquabike e qualificandosi più volte per l'Ironman di Kona.

Ministryně financí Alena Schillerová se pokusí přesvědčit prezidenta, aby nevetoval rozpočet na letošní rok. Ten má pochybnosti, zda je návrh rozpočtu v souladu se zákonem. „Je potřeba řešit situaci, kterou nám zanechala minulá vláda. K nepodepsání by neměl být důvod,“ domnívá se poslanec Jan Hrnčíř (SPD). „Není možné si vymýšlet, že jedná-li se v rozpočtovém provizoriu, zákony neplatí,“ oponuje místopředsedkyně rozpočtového výboru Věra Kovářová (STAN).

This week on Talking Triathlon we start with a recap of Challenge Sir Bani Yas, where Jonas Schomburg took the win in the men's race and Katrine Græsbøll Christensen claimed victory in the women's. We break down how the race played out and what it told us about early season form. We then turn to Hayden Wilde after he said he had multiple professional cycling contracts on the table, and discuss how realistic that claim is and whether elite triathletes could genuinely step into the professional peloton. Jelle Geens has also said he wants to win Kona, and we dig into why he might be exactly the type of athlete who could make that leap successfully, along with what would need to go right for it to happen. The episode finishes with a deep dive into Supertri's newly announced 2026 format. With sprint races folded into mass participation events and a single standalone Grand Final, we talk through our disappointment with the direction of the series. That leads into a broader discussion about the uncomfortable reality facing the sport, that triathlon has struggled to monetise broadcast, costs continue to rise, and amateur athletes are increasingly frustrated with how expensive the sport has become.

In this powerful and honest episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we sit down with Emma Tucker, an Age Group Athlete from Australia whose journey to Ironman is nothing short of remarkable. Emma opens up about living an unhealthy lifestyle before a serious health scare pushed her to make a change that would alter the course of her life. Over the span of a year, she lost nearly 80 kilos, openly sharing her decision to undergo weight loss surgery and documenting the entire process on Instagram to help educate and support others.Emma walks us through relearning how to eat, exercise, and manage stress—including starting with just an hour a day on an elliptical in her garage and changing jobs to create a healthier lifestyle. She shares how her Ironman journey began by simply running from one road reflector to the next, her unique fueling strategy of eight small meals per day, lessons learned from her first major injury, and a hilarious moment when her physical therapist “ratted her out” to her coach. The conversation culminates with Emma qualifying for and racing the 2025 Ironman World Championships in Kona.This episode is a must-listen for any Age Group Athlete chasing big goals, one small step at a time.#TheEverydayIronman #AgeGroupAthlete #IronmanJourney #TriathlonLife #IronmanWorldChampionships #Kona2025 #TransformationStoryFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

This week on Talking Triathlon we ask the big question behind the episode title: can Kristian Blummenfelt win Kona? We dive into Kristian's extraordinary VO2 numbers and discuss what they actually tell us, whether they translate to Ironman world championship success? We also cover the rebrand of the Bianchi Pro Triathlon Team, with Bianchi stepping in as title sponsor after replacing BMC, and what that means for podcast hosts who have already ordered a Bianch TT bike. From there we discuss Ironman's new 20 metre draft zone rule and while we think it is good for fair racing, it will be bad for broadcast and fans of the sport. Looking ahead to the weekend, we preview Challenge Sir Bani Yas with a strong field including Pierre Le Corre, Emil Holm, Henri Schoeman, Fenella Langridge, Natalie Van Coevorden and Ellie Salthouse. We also recap racing from Qatar, where Brad Weiss took the men's win and Rachel Klamer claimed victory in the women's race.

This episode is bittersweet for me. I'm sharing the heartbreaking loss of my German Shepherd, Kona, and what it was like saying goodbye, not just for me, but for my kids, who grew up with her by their side. Grief has a way of stopping time… and also reminding you how precious it is.From there, we talk about the energy of the new year: the shedding, the forward momentum, and why this one already feels different. I share a manifestation practice I'm trying in 2026, why I'm writing my goals as if they've already happened, and how I'm working to release long-held limiting beliefs around love, career, and the idea that you can't have it all.A word from my sponsors:Kahlua - Find Kahlúa Dunkin Caramel Swirl at retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Total Wine, Albertsons, Kroger, Ralphs, Safeway, BevMo, Publix, and more.
