When you sit back allow yourself to really dream, often the dream you have is beautiful but it’s also big, a little scary, and intimidating. Big dreams and big goals feel nearly impossible. It’s hard to fathom how you’re supposed to get from where you are in this moment to this far away goal that’s hard to conceptualize. James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence completed 50 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons covering 7,030 miles with 0.24% of those miles completed indoors due to inclement weather. He joins Tom and breaks down the backlash he got for doing less than 17 miles indoors, and reveals the real mental fortitude and personal challenges he faced that lead him to deciding on completing 100 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons this time, plus one.
James talks about what it really means to do hard things, and how the secret of achieving your goals is in the journey, the failures, and the lessons that prepare you for the actual goal. He’s opening up about what his post-recovery has become and the challenges he’s overcoming for that as well.

“Doing hard things with intent is preparation for the unknown.” [2:18]
“Motion creates emotion, and you have to experience something and feel it in order to have an experience or knowledge with it.” [4:00]
“Mastering that continual conversation and beatdown that we have with ourselves is one of the most important pieces to that puzzle.” [9:42]
“Why people fail is because they rush straight to that big goal and they miss out on everything in between, which is the most important part.” [14:48]
“You need to meet yourself where you're at, on your journey. And over time, your perception perspective will change about what's possible for you.” [18:20]
“You wouldn't do something if you knew how damn hard it was going to be, and you wouldn't do something if you had all the answers, and you don't start as the expert.” [34:34]
“What you say you're going to do is the expectation, and if you deviate from that, it gives them permission to then attack you.” [43:23]
“We don't know what tomorrow is gonna bring, and if you quit now you're never going to find out and that would be the most tragic thing you do on your journey…” [49:46]

By adjusting my thinking appropriately: Think of things I find difficult to be thought of.
Facing difficulties with confidence and Choosing complex matters (like example- Hard target ) rather than easy and simple things helps to build mental Toughness.
I tell my mind no, when it desires something addictive, like snacks or alcohol.
Tom! Nasa lies! It is an over funded betraying entity. The Earth is flat. Check out Santos Bonacci and Eric Dubay PLEASE.
This is exactly my journey right now. 56 years old and after a heartbreaking divorce, I’m picking myself up and training for a 70.3. I am enjoying everyday that I get to train. I told myself I will not sit around and watch YT videos of people doing things….I’m going to do things. My 1st sprint was hard, and I was nervous. The goal was train, participate, finish and not get injured. Goal accomplished! Next…..
Keep pushing!!
👏👏👏👏

Well coming from your 114th like good job man. May you find peace, love and acceptance of yourself
Great job. I have heard " don't talk about it, be about it".
When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.
@The Chancellor... WOW ... I REALLY needed to hear this this morning. Tough times for many in America. My current situation is no different. Thank you. You're words put a little air behind my tatered sails. 👍🏽
Awesome Quote

Does the sun have basic needs? And if so, same as people? Art is useful for expressing ourselves, not denying our wants. Still, love for the intention
Amen 🙏🏼!!!
The key to reach your goal is to make progress towards it EVERYDAY. Especially when the hard times come. Everybody has good and bad day, but the ones who make it are consistent and relentless in their progress.
Life is not easy and we are constantly learning lessons how to navigate and how to beat the elements and obstacles.
I agree with him. I'm 65 and started learning French last month. It takes effort and humility.
I almost always pushed myself during my life. Study, work, building projects, travel, move to new countries.. Getting new careers and preparing for them.
Those times I sat down, I lost.

@Demitri ..thank you for this. I try to "keep this in mind" SOMETIMES this is difficult to keep at the forefront of my MIND. Gratitude 👍🏽

After my breakup I’ve decided I failed but I’m failing forward! The most successful people do! I have huge goals and I’m re doing me! I’ve learned so much the last year isolated! I’ve learned about myself where I stay in insanity! I will not do the same thing over again! I will be humble! I will start at the bottom and learn everything oh my the way to the top where I want to be! I have to climb the mountain!
In this era of massive access to information, deployment of knowledge is THE game changer. Absorbing is passive. Doing shakes the world up!

Hello Mrs Jane is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategies
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Jane.
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
Thanks for introducing me to Mrs Jane.
My first investment with Mrs Jane gave me profit of over $24,000 us dollars and ever since then she has never failed to deliver and I can even say she's the most sincere broker I have known
Mrs Jane has changed my financial status for the best.all thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me
Yes I' m also a living testimony of expert Mrs Jane.
Who's this professional everyone is talking about I always see her post on top comment on every UA-cam video I watched
Adapt and evolve......THE crucial aspect of accomplishing the goal
20:04 your behaviors reflect your beliefs, and behaviors are all that matters, so how do you shape beliefs?
BAM!
These comments are just as good as the interviews!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Sooo inspirational.
7:45-10:45... IS GOLDEN ... this is one that was amazing to hear
I think goals after doing difficult things are so important. The main goal is probably balance, for all of us, and that is HARD!! I've travelled all over the world and lived an amazing life, and finally settled down 7 years ago, and finding balance seems to be the hardest yet most enjoyable goal now... Food for thought xx
Well done James!! You've helped pave the way to potential for many of us!!
Tom, at 21:24, you nailed it. That is true self growth when you create the paths to bring you to the uncomfortable place is when you learn your abilities and how to push through them mentally. Most people can’t wrap their heads around the concept. Good video Bud 👍🏼
Tom for me this is the most brilliant interview I have watched from your channel from all the interviews I've seen you do since stating to listen to you about two years ago. Thank you very much!! This was incredible 👏🙌😍
Believe!!!! Emotion = Energy in Motion!!!! This is a phenomenal podcast! BRUH! I thought I was the only one that wanted to live past 100! I am shooting for at a minimum 120! Health = Wealth!
i'm strong physically, but weak mentally. need to work on my mental game.
I feel like a sponge absorbing to the max. James Lawrence is so down to earth, straightforward and vulnerable/authentic. I learn such important life lessons from him.
Tom, IT is a phenomenal platform. I am growing leaps & bounds. IT is part of my toolbox. You ask your guests THE BEST questions. That is part of the reason for my growth. The questions & comments you ask and say bring out "the meat" of deep & necessary life lessons. Seriously, you always hit the nail on the head. Thank you so much for everything you bring to the table to help all of us, your subscribers, become the best we can be, so that we can become LEGENDARY!! 🌟🌟
*"When something is important enough for you, you do it even if the odds are against you."*
I hope this message helps you. 🙂

Been waiting for this EPISODE for a long time and can honestly say BEST PODCAST EVER!!!
I swear Tom asks the best questions in these interviews

@ Nathalie Lazo: Thank you! ❤️🙏🏼🕊
Listening to this literally having a breakthrough mentally in real time🙌🏾 this interview is life
Absolutely incredible what the Iron Cowboy accomplished. I really enjoy hearing him speak on life and his journey.
I strongly agree 100% Mental & Physical fees and or strength gain 💪 on a daily in whatever you engage with. What the two of you discuss on this episode I have come to fully recognize on my climb up this time around ✊
Everything he said is everything I know I need to to make the progress on my goals and ambitions yet I still need to master and internalize these words and attitudes. All of it makes sense but it's the convincing and having it settle in the mind that gets us going with these ideas. I need to listen to this a few more times and contemplate on it and I know I'll get moving.
I just want to thank you both for this POWERFUL video. I came on it per chance today and in hindsight it was NO ACCIDENT that I did. James Lawrence dropped so many gems during this dialogue that I will be revisiting this often to review. I must add that James' mental makeup reminds me of David Goggins minus alot of the cussin' lol. Both men are elite and special individuals. They are part of the minority that shows us what is truly "POSSIBLE" when we set our minds and bodies to something. Thanx to you both again for this powerful dialogue on being ELITE.
Iron Cowboy is still probably one of the most inspirational documentaries I have ever watched. James is an absolute beast.
Loved this episode brotha 🔥🔥🔥
What perseverance to record despite those injuries!! Get well soon Tom
The elliptical thing is about integrity. That's all. What you say or do when nobody is holding you accountable. That's more important than any amount of triathlons you can do in a row.
found this channel like 1month ago and learnd more in this time then the past 2 years without whit channel xD
love it! thank you so much
U2 are absolutely amazing thank you so much for your story and everything you went through.
Absolutely agree with Tom @5:35 PTSD is real and you can be paralyzed by fear of past experiences. I think COVID along with all of the constant changes in daily living made it really difficult for people. It was really hard to consistently morphe into your best self with all of these things happening in the world. I don't think the past few generation has encountered this type hardship. Thank you for the wonderful gems 💎
This is an excellent interview, James is a beast.
So inspiring beyond words...
5 kids and a wife by your side is beyond imagination.
Wow!!! Cheers to you all!!!
Looking forward to this interview. The iron cowboy is a legend
W-h-a-t-s-a-p ➊➑➎⓿➏➑➍⓿➊➍➐
I would have been interested to hear about his food / nutrition habits to accomplish such an incredible project.
Fantastic interview and dialogue. Thank you.
"being in the middle of your impossible" WOW! incredibly impactful statement!! It doesn't have to be an ironman for everyone, for someone reading this, it could just be making it through the day. It's fine, it's YOUR impossible, and you can make it through, you can achieve it!! Never give up..........you can get to the other side!
The pandemic totally exposed people who have never dealt with anything hard. Dealing with them is the hardest thing for me

Thanks for commenting/
His statement is not a entirely true, i went through war as a child during the Yugoslav war, my family survived the concentration camps during few months, my father stayed the longest in that camp about 4 years (since we escaped before him) and my father said that the Pandemic was harder that his time in camps...
We've not been disabled by the pandemic but still mentality touched because it was tough especially when you're already traumatized.
While the statement is true to a degree it's not by any means a definitive truth, we all have a different story. Not sure if i handled it better or worse than anyone else though.
Postscript, Listening to James at the End, He's actually suffering PTSD from his unbelievable endeavor's..good luck James, inspiring
keep buying and investing in stocks or crypto,soon Bitcoin will hit $100,000
Bitcoin is the future, investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise in Bitcoin
I made $13,800within 6days of trading
people are scared of investing because of the high rate of scam in the business. there are scammers but real brokers are out there for investors
@@alfredtaylor4898 you are absolutely right but we also have lots of expert, real ones with certificate and firm IDS out there waiting for investors
the importance of a professional mentorship of an expert should be the first step in trading
Wow, what an accomplishment. It sounds a bit like what David Goggins was doing. Just incredible 💪
I happen to be watching this right after re watching your interview with David Goggins. Even someone as tough as Goggins had a big dream of being a seal but he took a lot of steps to get to that goal retook the tests three times he had to learn to read to take the test had to get into shape even get to a level where they would accept him in and he continued to grow from there he has a big goal in mind and he broke it down what is it going to take me to get there from where I am. I completely agree with this guy strategy of having your eye on the big prize but the realism to understand you have to build up yourself mentally and physically it's like prepping for a marathon when you've never got off the couch
Ty ty ty I love you Tom 🙂 you both are such great inspiration 😊 total beast mode 101 😳💪👏🙌👍
Another damn good episode! Love this!
"This is a great lesson for anybody in life and before you go on any journey whatever you're doing figure out your ethos what you truly stand for. Then every decision after that becomes easy. Should I do this? Does it align with my core values? Black and white Yes or No decisions (will be) made (easier)." - James Lawrence
Very inspiring discussion ... mindblowing ! Thanks guys
@tombileu you’re such a great interviewer… thoughtful exchanges, always learn a ton. James is very inspiring and helpful lessons. I was overwhelmed with the thought…. What about & how do we learn from, honor and celebrate those people who life circumstances don’t have a finish line? Like the mom who has an adult child with autism, no language, in diapers, with over 20 seizures a day and a husband on his 5th deployment. I’m in awe of her mental toughness, endurance and ability to keep going in the absence of a manufactured finish line, purely because of the love and dedication to her family. Gut check as I register for another “endurance” race.
Agree! Such a fantastic interviewer on all topics I've heard so far. 👌
Very inspiring and motivating podcast.
I’ve done the Ironman twice. Years apart. Not sure how this guy did 150 in a row. The pain his body was feeling is unimaginable….
@tombilyeu I just want to thank you for your content. I've been listening 🎧 👂 for about two years now, and at first it was impactful beyond comprehension...meaning...you grew on me. The depth of your "quest" and explorations and quality of your guests and their insights is really what should be imparted to all individuals, starting as kids. If I had this sort of training going thru life, I would be an individual who would be further ahead. Although, because of some of your wisdom, I know this is not a negative. I am in the moment. Thank you. 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏
"That tree is letting me be who I am!" So true. Now I understand why we love being in nature.
This little window of the earnest discussion that I just heard, reveals the truely humble yet extraordinary human being that you are.
Hi James from Calgary. Bravo my friend!!

one step at a time
Guys, please, be kind to your body! Sometimes numbers don’t work for you! Looking at your eyes,you need to take things bit calmer & slow down. Over working is dangerous! Listen to your body,don’t compare yourself with others. Our ancestors did things differently & accomplished lots too! 😀🤔✌🏻😀sometimes it’s confusing as to why have all these records & all… live healthy happy humble simple…not overdo overwork & all….jeez!
@@jennifergopinath Looking at who's eyes? You definitely sound like a mother saying this but the reality for me is that i got over a 6 year opiate addition about a year ago and i use running to replace my opiate addiction, i have not found anything else that gives me the dopamine fix i need that is not coming from a drug.
Once again thanks Tom love your work
I haven’t even watched this yet... I just love this guy! First heard about him on the mfceo project. #inspiration
Ok, so I wished they would have touched on how having a supportive partner is important in accomplishment. I feel like they missed an opportunity when James mentioned to his wife that he wanted to do 100 and she didn’t doubt it in any way.
It’s also interesting in how life is it own roadmap. Doing the 100 has broken him in ways that he couldn’t have envisioned, so now his goal/passion is longevity.
SUPER cool interview. 🙏

Fantastic

Amazing
Dont know either of these guys or how i ended up here but this was a great interview
gracias Jaime y a Tomi
Bro a short introduction about the person would be much appreciated 😊
THE IRON COWBOY!!!! DUDE IS A BEAST!!! 50-50-50
As an endurance athlete I feel everything you are saying. When you started speaking about the 1 more and how you started alone in the pool and then bikers came out to support you I literally got goosebumps and tears formed in my eyes. I connect to that so much because who you are and what you represent brings people together. I was in the car telling myself to hold it together lol
This was an awesome interview! I have the hardest race of my life in 66 days. Beast of the East Ultra 100 miler with 20,000ft of elevation gain.
This just 🔥🔥 me up even more to continue to show up and be the person I say I am!
THANK YOU!!

Lovely
With anything in life you have to experience “it” to truly understand it. Take an apple pie. You can look at a picture of it but that’s not experiencing it. To smell the baked apples and brown sugar as the pie is still in the oven. And then seeing it taken out and the smells are even more intense. We haven’t even tasted it yet and yet we have…a little bit. Then comes the bite. The feeling of hot apples and warmth inside your mouth. And now The taste of the apples, sugar, and the crust, with the crunchy texture! Mmm.
Now just reading this is ok. But actually experiencing “it” is a whole other level.
We have to experience to truly appreciate and understand anything in life.

Tom what you do, it’s no school or class for it.. I am already knowing you been through something so deep and other people who been through something is intriguing to you.. only if it’s someone similar to interview you exist.
Great interview and really inspirational. I believe people such as James Lawrence provide important perspectives for others in their daily lives. I'm not sure how far into this video I was before I realized what his frame of reference was for his specific journey but right before I got that clarity I was already applying this mentally with respect to my life lol.

This interview had some interesting pointers, but it also felt at times like James was trying to “one-up” Tom for reasons I can’t fathom.
Very inspiring!
