Episode 489: Alvaro Nuñez: How He Lost 30 Pounds + Nearly Lost His Mind Cycling 3,000 Miles Nonstop
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.
What We Discuss:
(07:50) Race Across America: 3,000 miles in 12 days on 1 hour of sleep per night
(15:12) The phone call that changed everything: his father's cancer diagnosis
(22:27) Why eliminating the option to quit creates only one possible outcome
(34:22) Sneaking into Miami buildings to teach tennis and build a client base
(45:01) Marathon Monday: why he runs 26.2 miles every single Monday
(50:30) Seven days in complete darkness and what he discovered about himself
(57:56) Carrying "the weight of depression" across the Sahara Desert
(01:04:15) His non-negotiable daily habits and why he quit alcohol completely
(01:18:05) Flying helicopters into real estate events and skydiving out of them
…and more!
