🧠 What does it really mean to live intentionally and how do you stay grounded when life gets chaotic?
In this episode of the Plant-Fuelled Podcast, I sit down with Joe Gagnon, author, endurance athlete, six-time CEO, and founder of The High Performance Life to unpack what it takes to build a life that’s truly aligned. A life driven by meaning, purpose, and the deep understanding that everything worthwhile lives on the other side of discomfort.
Joe isn’t just talking about mindset he’s lived it. From running six marathons on six continents in six days, to logging 150,000 push-ups in a single year, to daily blogging for over 4,500 days, Joe’s work is a masterclass in commitment, intentionality, and unlocking human potential.
But this episode isn’t just about ultra feats it’s about YOU. About how to tune out the noise, clarify your purpose, and learn to ask better questions of your life.
✨ In this episode, we talk about:
✅ The truth about living intentionally and how to actually start
✅ Why most people never get clear on their YES, NO, and WHY
✅ Joe’s Six in Six story: marathons, mindset, and what it taught him
✅ How to redefine success through alignment, not just achievement
✅ Why discomfort is the compass for real growth
✅ Navigating midlife and building a life that keeps evolving
✅ How to find your next chapter, no matter where you're starting from
✅ Joe’s insights from over 90 marathons and Ironmans
✅ Choosing integrity over shortcuts in business and in life
✅ The principles behind The High Performance Life
Joe’s journey is a reminder that you don’t have to do it all but you do have to do what matters. Whether you’re looking to break old pattern
Joe’s work at TheHighPerformanceLife.net blends evidence-based principles with real-life wisdom. His book, Living the High Performance Life, distills years of insight into a framework anyone can use — whether you're an athlete, a leader, or just trying to show up more fully in your own life.
