Steve has described the thought patterns i have been wrestling with recently after turning 40. Great discussion, thank you. Its easy to get caught up in thinking there is only a handful of paths to take.
Quick overview of the main points: Individuals often struggle with balancing their authentic selves and societal expectations, amplified by media exposure and social comparisons. True fulfillment comes from focusing on the journey and developing mental resilience rather than fixating on outcomes for validation. Curiosity is key in exploring beyond comfort zones, fostering environments for play and exploration to enhance self-understanding. In physical performance, success should be viewed from a holistic perspective rather than an obsession with metrics like VO2 Max Redefining success involves prioritizing intrinsic motivation and personal growth over external validation. When met with resilience, personal setbacks are reframed as opportunities for greater accomplishments and meaningful endeavors. Embracing past experiences, including setbacks, enriches one's contributions and personal growth journey, as demonstrated in Steve's story. Made with MegaSummary
Thanks for the summary, valuable points all, staying away from the beehive requires a lot of personality, resilience and self-belief. In running I am reminded of athletes like Bernard Lagat or Parker Valby, that have defied conventional norms and taken their injury-free low-mileage method to great success.
As a long-time listener (and active practitioner), It's my perception that this conversation fell into the same trap that Steve's book explores (back and forth on the comfortable topics of 'getting unstuck' for a presumed audience of the 'stuck'). Both Steve and Rich are adept and comfortable in this type of exchange (so comfortable it seems that they seem to obsess on the Social Media culture complain about). I love and respect what you both have to say. But this conversation had the feel of the verbal equivalent of a warm up volley by two professional badminton players. For longtime listeners this was mostly a repeat of well trod ground. I will buy Steve's book, and continue to listen to Rich. But it is my hope that Rich might on occasion explore next steps for listeners that have been here for years, are doing all the stuff, and are ready to be inspired to the next level.
Interesting that you have already contemplated and perhaps challenged and perhaps mastered the topics of this two hour conversation. Like you said, you think you are "doing all the stuff". I would challenge you to reconsider your assumptions. I would also question oneself if a sort of shock to they system is needed to feel stimulation or motivation. Just some things to consider.
I appreciate you reading/replying. If my comment implied I have it all figured out, that was not my intent. I'm also aware/grateful that over the last 5+ years, the guidance and inspiration of both Steve (in my running) and Rich (in my lifestyle and attention), have been catalysts. I guess I was hoping for more/next level (?) conversation ?? I'm interested in your takeaways from the conversation? Maybe I glossed over something? (I undoubtedly had unrealistic expectations of what it might deliver for me).
A little feedback - the moment ad/sponsor music came on I immediately thought "sponsor part is incoming," which brought me out of the "receiving information openly" state to the "prepare to resist and skip ad" state. Having the music begin when the ad begins would be better, I think. 32:49
Be careful of YOUR EXTERNAL EGO DANCE and CHASE , It could KILL YOU 😢❤. DON'T DIE ❤! Hey Rich Wheres Julie ? ❤😢! Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR ❤ Live for EVER ❤.
Hear what youre saying, but I think these two have a pretty natural back and forth I disagree w the commentator stating ‘No one cares’ and attempting to undermine your efforts

Could listen to these two all day…talk about their areas of expertise, yes, but also their passions and interests. So much value!
I can not be more agree, I live without mobile phone for 12 years now.
I stopped when the smart goes out.
I am 40 years old, all is good.

Social validation is indeed our worst enemy.

💖💖💖

You get an elite coach as a guest on, but then you talk 75% of the time lol...
No one cares about your ‘’average triathlete/try to be a coach’’ opinion.
welcome to podcasts
Hear what youre saying, but I think these two have a pretty natural back and forth
I disagree w the commentator stating ‘No one cares’ and attempting to undermine your efforts
not really. convo feels really organic. You just feel like making a nasty comment?
The world now finally seems safe. The last four years ere so so so horrible get a clue
