Filho de argentinos, ele nasceu em Buenos Aires mas se mudou para o Rio de Janeiro ainda bebê. Aprendeu a andar de bicicleta bem cedo e nas viagens frequentes a Búzios com a família, costumava remar ou tentava velejar. Sua mãe era antropóloga, historiadora e mantinha um laboratório fotográfico em casa. Ainda criança, assistia às revelações de fotografias em preto e branco e fez suas primeiras fotos durante shows e atividades do dia a dia. Já morando em Sao Paulo, na adolescência passou a fotografar os amigos andando de skate. Sua primeira imagem publicada saiu na revista Yeah Skate. Mais tarde, ingressou no curso de Biologia da USP, mas interrompeu a graduação quando se mudou para os Estados Unidos. Durante os dois anos em que viveu por lá, adquiriu seus primeiros equipamentos profissionais, cobriu o Campeonato Mundial de Balonismo no Novo México, e começou a enviar fotografias para publicações brasileiras. De volta ao Brasil, participou da cobertura do Rock in Rio II. Uma das imagens produzidas durante o evento foi publicada na capa da revista Trip. A partir daí, passou a colaborar com diferentes veículos editoriais e direcionou seu trabalho para esportes, viagens, aventura e comportamento. Em 1995 e 1997, acompanhou uma equipe brasileira na Race Across America. Em 1998, cobriu uma das maiores corridas de aventura do mundo, o Raid Gauloises e o primeiro evento da modalidade no Brasil, a EMA. Ao longo dos anos seguintes, documentou campeonatos mundiais de triathlon, provas de corrida de aventura, mountain bike, rafting, dezenas de edições do Ironman Brasil e diversos outros eventos esportivos no Brasil e no exterior. Paralelamente ao trabalho editorial, realizou expedições próprias. Pedalou pelo Salar de Uyuni, desceu a Estrada da Morte na Bolívia, remou no Alasca, cruzou dunas do Saara em uma expedição de sandboard, participou de campanhas da Sea Shepherd na Antártida e no Canadá e realizou travessias de bicicleta e caiaque em diferentes regiões do continente americano. Ao longo de mais de três décadas de carreira, teve trabalhos publicados em jornais, revistas e livros no Brasil e no exterior. Expôs em cidades como Berlim, Innsbruck, Florença e Filadélfia. É autor dos livros Cruzando a América em Duas Rodas e Imagens de Uma Expedição, além de coautor de Graffiti Brasil. Conosco aqui, o fotógrafo apaixonado por viagens, expedições, natureza e manifestações culturais, movido pela curiosidade de ver de perto e entender o mundo através da fotografia, o portenho Ignácio Aronovich.

In June 1909, five automobiles lined up in front of New York's City Hall to attempt something no car had ever done: drive all the way to Seattle. The Ocean-to-Ocean Race was supposed to be a publicity stunt for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, but it became something far more consequential, a 4,100-mile brawl through gumbo mud, quicksand, flooded rivers, and snow-choked mountain passes that would help launch the Model T, expose the wretched state of America's roads, and change the trajectory of the automobile industry forever. Henry Ford entered two stripped-down Model Ts priced at $850 against rivals costing five to ten times as much, betting his company's future on the proposition that a lightweight, affordable car could outrun and outlast them all. Today’s guest is Eric Moskowitz, author of The Hardest, Longest Race. We see the real story is far messier than Ford's victory narrative. The Shawmut Motor Company, a tiny Boston outfit that had lost everything in a factory fire and entered the race as a last-ditch gamble to survive, battled the Fords neck and neck across twelve states, only to be sabotaged by bribed ferrymen, blocked by armed guards at river crossings, and ultimately cheated by an illegal engine swap that Ford concealed until a small-town fraud investigator from Idaho uncovered the shipping receipts. The Automobile Club of America stripped Ford of the win and awarded the trophy to the Shawmut, but by then nobody was listening, Ford's dealers had already papered the country with victory ads, and the Shawmut Motor Company was dead. We see that the century of the automobile had the most unlikely origin story.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it take to go from a surf shop dropout to one of Britain's most elite Special Forces operators, then reinvent yourself all over again?Dean Stott MBE spent 16 years in the military, including time in the Special Boat Service (SBS), the UK's equivalent of SEAL Team Six. After a catastrophic parachuting accident at 15,000 feet ended his career, he refused to stop. He built a private security company from scratch, single-handedly evacuated the Canadian Embassy from war-torn Libya, rescued 220 people from Israel within 96 hours of the October 7th Hamas attacks, and, oh yeah, broke the world record for cycling the 14,000-mile Pan-American Highway in just 99 days, raising over $1.4 million for mental health charities along the way.In this conversation, Dean opens up about:— The parachuting accident that tore every ligament in his knee and ended his military career— Dressing as Taliban to run double agents in Kandahar, and the moment he nearly fired his weapon by mistake— How he buried 30 weapons in the Libyan desert and built a security empire from nothing— Why he believes anticipation is worse than participation— The raw "dead or divorce" conversation that changed everything in his marriage— Cycling 14,000 miles having barely ridden a bike — and smashing the world record by 17 days— How breathwork kept him calm in a boxing ring at age 49— His friendship with Prince Harry and the Heads Together mental health campaign— The Race Across America he's planning next, and why it's going to be specialDean is one of those rare humans who makes you rethink what's actually possible. This one will stay with you.
In this special live episode of the Tend HER Wild Podcast, recorded at the James Theatre with the Water Bearer Collective, four remarkable women share stories and insights gathered across decades of life. Together they reflect on courage, friendship, aging, and the power of crone wisdom—showing how experience deepens our capacity to lead, love, and keep evolving. Guests Marcia Akin – Educator and Psychotherapist Connie Benton Wolfe – Social Entrepreneur and Innovative Leader Peg Burke – Former University of Iowa professor and former president of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Lark Birdsong – First women's basketball coach at the University of Iowa, leader, artist, and lifelong learner Marcia Akin & Connie Benton Wolfe Early Years & Self-Discovery Both Marcia and Connie describe themselves as shy girls who eventually stepped beyond their comfort zones to share their gifts. Marcia reflects on the influence of strong Quaker women and pursuing advanced degrees in education and social work. Connie recalls being excluded from a school play because of her shyness, but credits her grandmother's encouragement to trust herself and stay open to life's unfolding path. Courage Marcia shares how her colon cancer diagnosis at 49—after losing her father to the same disease—revealed the strength of family and community support. Connie believes courage begins with trusting your gifts and allowing them to be visible, noting that courage grows when women support one another. Love & Friendship Both women emphasize the importance of lifelong women's friendships. Marcia speaks about the grounding power of love and humor, while Connie offers simple wisdom: never abandon your women friends for a partner. Aging & Wisdom Marcia reflects that turning 80 has deepened her self-understanding and reminds us that growth never stops. Connie, who spent much of her career working in aging communities, continues to advocate for dignity and meaningful engagement for older adults. Rapid Reflections One truth about life: Marcia – Love relentlessly. | Connie – Start fresh every day. Stop worrying about: Marcia – Tomorrow. | Connie – Naysayers. Start doing earlier: Marcia – Listen to your body. | Connie – Understand money. Word for this season: Marcia – Deepening | Connie – Perplexing Still curious about: Marcia – People's stories | Connie – Younger generations Peg Burke & Lark Birdsong Early Years Peg grew up in rural Kentucky during the Great Depression, walking or riding a mule to school and facing limited opportunities for women. Lark moved frequently during childhood and grew up adventurous and energetic. Pioneers in Women's Sports Peg discovered physical education in college after receiving a small scholarship—an opportunity that shaped her lifelong advocacy for women in athletics. Lark was recruited by pioneering athletic director Christine Grant to help coach the first women's basketball team at the University of Iowa, where early teams had no uniforms or locker rooms. Courage & Justice Peg shares how witnessing inequality in women's sports fueled her activism, emphasizing that once you see injustice, you cannot ignore it. Lark describes courage through personal challenges like adopting her daughter from Peru and completing endurance cycling events such as Race Across America. Friendship & Collective Power Peg describes women's friendships as “a fire with three logs—it burns stronger together.” Lifelong collaboration among women leaders helped expand opportunities for future generations. Rapid Reflections One truth about life: Peg – Life is full of surprises. | Lark – Align what you think, say, and do. Stop worrying about: Peg – Appearance | Lark – Worry itself Start doing earlier: Peg – Be yourself | Lark – Build wealth and friendships Word for this season: Peg – Independence | Lark – Scarce Still curious about: Peg – Everything | Lark – Glass art and government balance Key Takeaway Seasoned Wisdom reminds us that aging is not an ending but a deepening. Through courage, friendship, curiosity, and advocacy, these women show how wisdom grows richer when shared across generations.

In dieser Episode von Triathlon Querbeet (TQ) treffen drei ganz unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf den Triathlonsport aufeinander.Zu Gast ist Andreas Niedrig, dessen Geschichte viele kennen: vom Junkie zum Ironman. Doch diesmal sprechen wir nicht nur über seine Vergangenheit, sondern auch über seine Rolle als stolzer Vater und über den Blick auf eine neue Generation im Triathlon.Denn ebenfalls dabei ist sein Sohn Lorenz Niedrig. Der ehemalige 400-Meter-Sprinter aus dem nationalen Leichtathletik-Zirkus wagt den Schritt in die Welt der Langdistanz und beschäftigt sich gleichzeitig wissenschaftlich mit dem Sport – unter anderem in seiner Bachelorarbeit über die legendäre Challenge Roth.Komplettiert wird die Runde durch Marco Warneck, einen ambitionierten Agegrouper mit großen Plänen: Zwei Langdistanzen stehen für ihn 2026 auf dem Programm – und Roth spielt dabei eine ganz besondere Rolle.Gemeinsam sprechen wir über den Mythos Roth, den Hype rund um Kona und die Faszination Triathlon aus drei ganz unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: Legende, Rookie und Agegrouper.Und schnell wird klar: Die Geschichte von Andreas Niedrig ist noch lange nicht zu Ende erzählt. Race Across America, Desert Dash oder die Speed-Besteigung des Kilimandscharo – viele Abenteuer sind bisher kaum Thema gewesen.Deshalb steht am Ende dieser Episode fest:Fortsetzung folgt.
In dieser Folge sitzt Christoph ohne Flo im Studio, der aus gutem Grund fehlt und nächste Woche selbst erzählen wird, was dahintersteckt. Kurzfristig springt Trainer Max Kinzlbauer ein, und gemeinsam sprechen die beiden über ein Thema, das im Radsport immer wieder für Druck sorgt: Körpergewicht, Ernährung und die Frage, wie viel Optimierung wirklich sinnvoll ist. Max erklärt, warum Erholung genauso entscheidend wie Belastung ist, und weshalb der Blick auf die Waage oft mehr verwirrt als hilft. Sie diskutieren, wie individuell der ideale Körperfettbereich ist, warum extreme Diäten selten nachhaltig funktionieren und wie schnell der Wunsch nach Leichtigkeit in ungesunde Bahnen geraten kann. Gleichzeitig betonen beide, dass man Ernährung verstehen muss, um Training gut zu versorgen – besonders, wenn es um Kohlenhydrate geht. Die immer höheren Empfehlungen zur Zufuhr pro Stunde ordnet Max ein und zeigt, wo Theorie und Praxis auseinandergehen. Zum Schluss werfen sie einen Blick auf alte Ultracycling-Mythen wie das „Anfuttern“ vor dem Race Across America und warum solche Strategien heute kaum noch Sinn ergeben.

What happens when you take quitting completely off the table? In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I'm joined by Alvaro Nunez as he shares how his father's cancer diagnosis turned a seemingly impossible cycling race into an unbreakable commitment. We dive into his journey from tennis courts to Miami real estate deals, and why he voluntarily puts himself through extreme physical and mental challenges. We also discuss his unconventional networking strategies, why he runs a marathon every Monday, and how he combines helicopter flying, skydiving, and real estate into one cohesive business model. Alvaro Nuñez is a 31-year-old entrepreneur, ultra-endurance athlete, helicopter pilot, and author of "Level Up." He owns a real estate brokerage and marketing agency in Miami, has completed extreme races like Race Across America and Marathon des Sables, and uses physical challenges as platforms for mental health awareness and personal development.

Desde a infância, o esporte sempre esteve presente. No voleibol, chegou a disputar campeonatos paulistas nas categorias de base até os 17 anos, experiências competitivas que o colocaram em contato com os valores do esporte. Pouco depois, escolheu o caminho da Educação Física, profissão que abraçou de maneira integral. Tornou-se personal trainer em 1997, professor de ciclismo indoor em 1999 e, em 2004, fundou em Uberlândia a Academia Personal & Cia. O contato com o ciclismo de estrada veio apenas em 2011 e, no ano seguinte, sua primeira competição já foi o Race Across America, em uma equipe de 8 ciclistas. A experiência despertou nele a curiosidade e o fascínio pelas provas de ultradistância. Ao retornar ao Brasil, estava decidido a se dedicar à essa disciplina, iniciando uma trajetória de estudos, treinos e busca pela evolução. Nesse caminho conheceu Cláudio Clarindo, o maior expoente brasileiro da modalidade, que se tornou um mentor e inspiração. Desde então foram dezenas de competições, vitórias expressivas e muitos desafios. Entre seus principais resultados estão dois títulos em provas de 24 horas nos Estados Unidos, dois campeonatos mundiais por faixa etária no World Time Trial Championships, além do campeonato americano de 24h, em 2018. Participou de quatro edições do Race Across The West, conquistando o segundo lugar em duas ocasiões e vencendo em 2023 com o recorde do percurso. Em 2024, venceu outra prova emblemática da ultradistância, a Silver State 508. Este ano, finalmente debutou na prova dos seus sonhos, o RAAM, onde pedalou os 4.937 km em 11 dias, 8 horas e 55 minutos. Conosco aqui o empresário, educador físico, treinador e ultraciclista que se divide entre a família, o trabalho e os desafios de pedalar milhares de quilômetros em busca de provar para si mesmo que o impossível é apenas uma questão de perspectiva: o ribeirão-pretano Fábio Cavalheiro Silvestri.

Guest Bio / Introduction Urs Koenig is a leadership coach, keynote speaker, former NATO peacekeeping commander, and ultra-endurance athlete. With an eclectic background spanning UN peacekeeping missions, military command, competitive cycling, academia, and business coaching, Urs brings a rare blend of lived experience and research-backed insight to leadership. His award-winning book, Radical Humility, challenges the outdated “heroic” leadership model and offers a compelling framework for blending high performance with humanity. Episode Summary In this episode of The Grit Factor, Shannon Huffman Polson talks with Urs Koenig about his journey from the intense world of ultra-endurance sports to leading international peacekeeping missions—and how those experiences shaped his philosophy of “radical humility.” Urs shares how failure in a 3,000-mile race across America became a crucible for growth, why loving people is at the heart of great leadership, and how leaders can be both tough on results and tender on people. They also explore the five shifts in his leadership framework, the importance of self-awareness, and how purpose evolves over time. Urs leaves listeners with practical strategies for managing energy, building agency in teams, and redefining success as being both a badass leader and a good human. Important Topics Covered 00:02:45 – Urs's unconventional journey from academia to ultra-endurance sports to military command. 00:07:20 – The Race Across America failure story and how reframing setbacks fuels growth. 00:11:35 – Why leaders must truly love people to be effective. 00:15:50 – “Tough on results, tender on people” — balancing high standards with deep care. 00:20:12 – The Five Shifts of Radical Humility explained. 00:26:40 – Commander's Intent: how clarity of purpose empowers teams. 00:33:05 – Managing energy like an elite athlete for sustainable performance. 00:37:15 – The confidence vs. competence trap in leadership promotion. 00:42:28 – When transparency becomes oversharing—and the concept of being “translucent.” 00:48:00 – Lessons from Urs's father on reinvention and courage. 00:53:22 – Redefining success as being both a badass leader and a good human. Episode Highlights 00:07:50 – “That DNF was one of the best things that ever happened to me—it taught me how to reframe failure.” 00:11:40 – “You want to be a leader? You have to love people. It's not about being an extrovert—it's about caring deeply.” 00:15:55 – “Caring gives you the license to set high standards.” 00:22:10 – The Five Shifts: Digging Deep (Self-awareness & self-leadership) Tough on Results, Tender on People Leading Like a Compass (Commander's Intent) Full Transparency Championing Fearless Culture 00:33:45 – Why managing energy beats managing time. 00:37:20 – “We often promote the loudest person, not the most competent one.” 00:42:40 – Why leaders sometimes need to be “translucent” instead of fully transparent. 00:48:25 – His father's midlife leap from corporate executive to artisan cheesemaker. 00:53:30 – “Success is being a badass and a good human.” Book: https://bookshop.org/a/15754/9781637554050 Website: https://www.urskoenig.com/Email: urs@urskoenig.comPhone: 206.372.8626
Julie-Anne Hazlett and Sarah Anne Evans are two members of the Veloroos, an Australian non-professional cycling team. The team broke the course record for the 5,000km Race Across America in 2015 and later this year tackle the equally challenging 2,200km Race Around Ireland.In this conversation, we discuss fear and self-doubt, the logistics of riding across America or around Ireland, how everyday women, like you and I, who work full time and have families, find the train to train for such epic events as well as the importance of having a support network around you.
In this episode, I take a hard look at the glorification of obsessive training habits in elite sport, using Michael Phelps’ famous claims—like eating 10,000 calories a day and not missing a single day of training for six straight years—as a springboard for discussion. You’ll learn how research from top performance labs has shown that these types of extreme regimens aren’t just unsustainable, but unnecessary and often harmful. I talk about the real caloric demands of ultra-endurance events like the Tour de France and Race Across America, and how even those athletes only maintain extreme intakes for short periods of time—not year-round. I also discuss the psychological cost of the “no days off” mentality, and why it’s so important to push back against this toxic messaging, especially for young athletes and their parents. You’ll hear about the groundbreaking research of Dr. David Costill showing how cutting training volume in half for seven weeks actually leads to peak performance, and we debunk the widely misinterpreted 10,000-hour rule. I share the incredible story of Donald Thomas, who became a world high jump champion with barely a year of training, in stark contrast to Stefan Holm’s lifelong grind. We also cover mental health struggles among Olympic athletes like Phelps, Simone Biles, and Caleb Dressel—and why balance, perspective, and accurate storytelling from public figures matter more than ever. TIMESTAMPS: There are many impressionable people watching and listening to star athletes who put out less than truthful advice on podcasts. [00:51] The human is only capable of ingesting a certain caloric limit each day. [07:46] If these athletes want to give advice, why not be truthful so followers can learn. [12:48] An obsessive training approach is absolutely not necessary. [17:18] Do you need 10,000 hours of practice to master your skill? [24:27] If you are going to reach the highest level, know that the healthiest, most well-adjusted athletes are those that have a healthy, happy, balanced lifestyle.

Veteranos da GREGARIO, Pai e Filho voltam ao podcast.Luiz e Pedro Maia praticam o ciclismo juntos há muito tempo. Race Across America, Granfondos, provas e viagens dentro e fora do Brasil fazem parte da história da dupla.Oriundos da estrada, por preocupação com segurança e maior prazer de pedalar, foram se aventurar no Mountain Bike. Daí para o gravel foi um pulo. Pode-se se dizer que é a paixão principal dos dois. Neste programa, eles falam sobre essa paixão, coroada com a terceira participação na maior prova de gravel do mundo. A antiga Dirty Kanza, atualmente chamada UNBOUND, realizada no estado de Kansas, nos Estados Unidos.Ouça esta conversa e, se você ainda não se apaixonou pelo gravel, agora vai.
One cyclist spoke a phrase that galvanized the team and continued to echo in their hearts and prayers throughout the race becoming the war cry that pushed them forward mile after mile: "Hold on, little ones-the cavalry is coming." https://www.klove.com/news/god-stories/update-zoe-international-dedicated-to-ending-child-trafficking-takes-first-place-in-race-across-america-andpodcast-55490

We haven't chatted with anyone in Nepal for a couple of weeks, so we thought we'd go back there with Len Forkas, who is heading to Mt. Everest to cap bagging all of the Seven Summits – the tallest peaks on all seven continents. This achievement also brings him a step closer to completing the coveted Explorers' Grand Slam, which includes the Seven Summits and trekking the last degree of latitude to the North and South Poles. He began his quest in 2013 summitting Kilimanjaro after accomplishing endurance feats like biking the Race Across America. Len does all of this to support a charity he founded called Hopecam, which does amazing work connecting cancer-afflicted kids to their schools and classmates. It was spurred after his own son Matt was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 9, and aside from the daunting treatments, Matt endured the challenge of isolation from his friends. Back in 2002, there was no Facetime or Skype, so Len arranged for a video connection between Matt and his class, and Len noticed what a sea change that was for Matt's overall outlook, as well as how much it benefitted his classmates to interact with him and help demystify cancer to them. This led to the birth of Hopecam, which began connecting 50 hospitalized kids and led to partnering with St. Jude's Children's Hospital and eventually affiliating with 180 hospitals and helping 1000 inspiring kids at a time. A majority of these kids come from Title 1 schools and whose families often can't afford Internet service. Len has a personal connection with many of these kids, and for this Everest project, he is paired up with a fifth-grader in Louisiana. In this chat, Len talks about how teamwork plays roles in accomplishing both his projects as well as in Hopecam's important mission for which he is aiming to raise $1,000,000. You'll also hear about his many other extreme adventures and the preparations for them and about a couple of harrowing episodes he had where divine intervention may have saved his life so he could continue his mission. Len is one of the nicest people with whom I've had the pleasure to chat, and this riveting episode is filled with so many great life lessons about humility, teamwork, finding purpose, and listening to and learning from others. He also shares great lessons he's learned about uniting people to work toward common goals in his book, What Spins the Wheel.

Dave Wilkinson is an endurance athlete who recently attempted to become the first blind tandem cyclist to complete Race Across America, a 3,000-mile race across the US that has to be completed in under 12 days. Dave and his support crew completed 1,200 miles in 4.5 days before various logistical difficulties forced him to withdraw. After initially being crushed at these results, Dave has re-focused his energies into another solo attempt in 2026 and plenty of cycling races and triathlons between then and now. Dave will discuss his Race Across America 2024 attempt, lessons he learned, and how he is re-channeling this disappointment into more rewarding outcomes in the future.

Bike Talk with Dave: Bicycle racing, cyclocross, gravel, mountain bike, road and tech
John Howard was a pioneer in American cycling, representing the U.S. in the 1968, 72 and 76 Olympic Games. As a four-time U.S. Road Racing National Champion, he was one of the first Americans to race in Europe. He also stood atop the podium at the 1971 PanAmerican Games. After his days road racing, he turned to triathlon, winning the fourth edition of the Ironman World Championships in 1981 and followed that in 1982 by taking second in the first edition of RAAM, The Race Across America, And in 1985, on a very specially built bicycle, tucked in behind a rocket car on the Bonneville salt flats he set a cycling speed record of 152.2 miles per hour! Still riding, coaching and writing, he has recently released his latest book about an early American Hero: Marshall, Major, Taylor, the first American cycling superstar! His book: The Black Cyclone; A Hero the World Forgot, details the trials and challenges faced by a black athletic super star in post Civil War America, and how he overcame those obstacles to become the fastest cyclist in the world at the time.

For the second week in a row, we talked to a 2024 Race Across America finisher! This week, it was Katie Aguilar, who raced as part of Four the Record, a four-woman team. Her husband, Carlos, was on the crew, and he also joined us. Katie and Carlos told us about what it was like to take on such an ambitious goal, the changes that Katie had to make to her training (with Carlos's support!), and the various highs and lows they faced when racing from California to New Jersey.
Urs Koenig is a veteran executive coach, professor, ultra-endurance champion, former UN Peacekeeper, author, and keynote speaker. All these seemingly disparate paths led him to one idea: that the best leaders lead from a place of humility. Urs has captured those ideas in his new book, Radical Humility: Be a Badass Leader and a Good Human. His lessons come from Big Events like having to pull out of the Race Across America because of a life-threatening condition and watching children in Kosovo enact brutalities they continue to witness in their region. They also come from Small Things like being told off by dad for not preparing properly for a camping trip and getting a dressing-down from a junior officer for a careless mistake.
