Winners,
We’re six days out from the biggest race of our lives—26.2 miles across the ancient streets of Rome, and the feeling is real now. Today’s episode is short, raw, and reflective, recorded right after my last run in Saint Augustine before hopping the pond to Italy.
This one’s less about pace… and more about presence.
In this episode, I take you inside my mindset during the final taper week. I talk about:
Why distance is more mental than physical
How I redefined my relationship with strength training & running
And why these years—your 20s—are for going all in on the experience side of life
I talk about learning to own my identity as an athlete again, how lifting changed my confidence, and why I believe you have to build your body and your business at the same time if you're serious about growing into the highest version of yourself.
But maybe the most important part of this episode?
It’s a reminder that this season of life is yours. Before the families, the forever homes, and the full calendars—these years are for getting outside your comfort zone and doing the thing. Whatever your Rome is… chase it.
We don't get experiences back. But we do get to decide whether we show up fully or play it safe. I choose to show up. And I hope this episode inspires you to do the same.
See you at the finish line.

Running is a mental game: Train your mind for the environment you're stepping into—not just the effort.
Strength training is essential: For confidence, durability, and showing up in life like a weapon.
Don’t waste your figuring-it-out years: Take bold action now. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for doing what lights you up.
Give life your best shot: You’ll never regret trying. You will regret settling.
If this episode hit home and you’re ready to run your own race—whether that’s finding your dream job, scaling your business, or becoming a more aligned version of you—I’m doing free Opportunity Automation Audits this month.
