Ep 120 - Poets & Prophets

I know it’s rather late to be weighing in on the Kendrick Lamar halftime show, but I had some thoughts and I know it’s better for me to put myself out there than to keep those thoughts to myself. So, in this episode, I talk about Kendrick’s performance, the role of artists as prophets and what that’s supposed to look like.

Ep 118 - Abominable 2025

After an 8-month hiatus from racing, I’m finally getting back to competing at the Abominable Snow Race 2025. In this pre-race edition of the Output Habit podcast, I recount my history with this particular race and lay out what’s at stake this time around.

Ep 116 - Sowing Seeds

Our actions today could bear fruit weeks, months, even years from now. We don’t always know exactly what the future results will be for every decision we make or every risk we take. But the more seeds we plant now, the better our odds will be in the future.

Ep 115 - Coming to Grips: Processing Failures
Sometimes we prepare ourselves for that big moment, we do everything right…and then we blow it. Many of us know what it’s like to choke under pressure. It never feels good. But there are always lessons to be learned through every experience. In this episode, I reflect on a disappointing performance at the Frontline OCR and share some thoughts on how to process failure and how to use the opportunity to become stronger going forward.

Ep 114 - Like It’s Your Last: Maximizing What is Temporary
Heading into my race last weekend, I felt a weird mix of emotions. On one hand, it felt like I was playing with house money. I was grateful just to be able to participate because it looked like I might not even be able to race two months ago. On the other hand, I felt like there was extra pressure to make the most of this race because I don’t know when or if I’ll be able to compete like this again. This experience gave me the opportunity to reflect on the temporary nature of this life: nothing lasts forever. Sooner or later there will be a final race. And when it’s all over, I will want to look back and know that I made the most of every opportunity.

Ep 113 - The Disconnect Revisited: Confronting Lies & Doubts
This is part 2 from my last episode, “The Disconnect,” about why we don’t follow through on things we know we should do. Ironically, I recorded this episode over 2 months ago, right before my son was born prematurely and transferred to the NICU. Yes, I need to give myself some grace because this has been a life-altering experience, but I also know that I had many opportunities to finalize and publish this episode sooner and I simply didn’t follow through. However, I’m looking forward to getting back into a rhythm again and bringing you new episodes on a more regular basis.

Ep 112 - The Disconnect: Why Can’t I Follow Through?
The other day I was asked by a friend: “Why can’t I do the things I know I ought to do?” At some point or another, we’ve all experienced the disconnect between knowing what we should do and actually doing it. Some people seem to have a harder time closing that gap and following through than others. Why is that? Every person and situation is unique, but in this episode, I contend that the primary root of this issue is a lack of belief.

Ep 111 - Next Level: Can’t Be a Beginner Forever
As scary as it may be to start something new, one of the few comforting thoughts you can always fall back on is: “I’m still new at this.” A lot of mistakes can be smoothed over because you’re still considered a novice. But at some point, the expectation is to graduate to intermediate and advanced. Being willing to start something new and go through the process of being a beginner is noble. Staying a beginner forever is not. At some point, you need to level up.

Ep 110 - Initiation Pt 2: Debriefing and Reframing
After The Abominable Snow Race 2024, Nate Duisterhof and I broke it down on the way home. We got his perspective as a first-timer and talked about how we can use difficult challenges like these OCR events to prepare us for the real trials that life will throw at us.

Ep 109 - Initiation Part 1: Jumping in with Both Feet
In this pre-race episode, I’m joined by special guest: Nathan Duisterhof. We rode down to the Abominable Snow Race together and talked about our hopes, expectations, and mindsets heading into the event. It was interesting to get the perspective of Nate who was not only doing his first winter OCR, but his first ever obstacle course race! Not exactly where most people start when they first get into this sport. What leads a person to make such a drastic shift like that? Listen in to our conversation and find out! :)

Ep 108 - Why Brand: Reiterating What Got Me Started Making Content
It’s been two and a half years since I started making content and posting it regularly on social media. Seems like a good time to look back and reflect on what sparked that change in the first place.

Ep 107 - The Ramp Up: From Starting to Mastering
For the past couple of years, I’ve been trying to do less overthinking and taking more action. In the process, I’ve learned about the value of “just starting” and learning what I need along the way. While that’s helped me to break some of my overthinking tendencies, I’ve realized that I need to be more intentional about how I’m going to grow and develop once I’ve begun. Without a plan to get a little bit better each day, I’m going to stay stuck at my current level. It’s OK to be a beginner when you’re just starting something new, but it’s not good to remain a novice indefinitely.

Ep 105 - Consumer Vs Producer: Finding the Right Ratio
Everyone is a consumer. We all eat, drink, buy things, read, watch, listen, and, of course, scroll social media. But the idea is to become someone who doesn’t just spend their lives consuming. Hopefully we strive to produce, to contribute, to leave a legacy. Of course, we never stop consuming; it’s part of life. But if we want our lives to be a net positive to those around us instead of a drain, we eventually need to increase the ratio of our production to our consumption.

Ep 104 - The Best Compliment: How Creators Know They’re on the Right Track
It’s one thing to be artistic and make things that you like. It’s another thing to be creative and thoughtful, and make things that serve other people. But how do I know if I am the only one who likes what I’m making? How do I know when I’ve gotten good enough at my craft that my creative abilities can actually add value to other people? My answer: keep making stuff, put yourself out there, and when people start asking you to make stuff for them, you’ll know you’re on the right track.

Ep 103 - The Thief of Joy: Is it Comparison? (Part 2)
People often say that “comparison is the thief of joy”. And I know what they’re trying to say. But comparison isn’t the problem. Noticing the differences between people (or between myself and others) is unavoidable. The question is: How will I respond? Will I allow it to breed discontentment and envy? Or is there a more productive way to use this information?

Ep 102 - The Thief of Joy: Is it Comparison? (Part 1)
The day before a race always has me a little on edge. Recording a podcast and sharing my pre-race thoughts has become something of a tradition (and therapy) for me. In this episode, I talk about my expectations for the race and what kind of thoughts I’m dealing with as I get ready to take on an event that I’ve never competed in before.

Ep 101 - What’s at Stake: Developing Focus & Urgency
Everything always comes back to “Why?” Unless there’s a clear answer to the question, “Why am I doing this?” then it’s only a matter of time before we fizzle out. Asking myself, “What’s at stake?” is just another way of getting at the “Why?” By creating a sense of urgency in terms of what I stand to gain or lose, it renews my focus and helps me connect the daily grind with the big picture.
