Matthew Marquardt, a third-year medical student at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and pro-triathlete in Ironman and Professional Triathletes Organization competitions, spills his secrets for successfully managing his time in arguably one of the busiest seasons of his life. We hear stories from Matt about how he first got into sports, what swimming at Princeton was like for him, and how he biked across the US in less than a month. He delves into how he prepares for his Ironman competitions, why he loves competing, and how his rigorous training schedule has benefitted his life and mentality. On the other side of things, we hear from him about his passion for medicine, how he studies for med school, and maintains relationships that matter to him. He covers deep-work philosophy, prioritization, the benefits of approaching life with a scientific mindset, and how to live with intention. Finally, he humbly shares with us the challenges of this lifestyle while encouraging us to pursue the things that are meaningful to us and valuable.
