In Effort There is Joy
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">"We are all broken in some way, and learning to give ourselves grace in all of that brokenness wherever we are is the beauty of endurance sport. It breaks us down to our core parts, lets us explore them core parts and then builds them back up the way we want them to be. As we handle ourselves with a little more patience and a little more humility. And that's how we find greater and greater mountains to climb and finish lines and summits." -Colleen Rue</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In this episode, we explore four people's stories before, during, and after 29029—an endurance event where you have 36 hours to climb 29029 feet (the equivalent height of Mt. Everest. Hike up the mountain, take the gondola down, repeat. Thanks to <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/colleenrue">Colleen Rue</a> from 29029, Kate and Steve Anderson, Meredith Carlson, and Carol Wisecarver for sharing their journey and hearts. </span></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/scottpapek/">-Scott Papek</a></p> <p><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://29029everesting.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces= "true">https://29029everesting.com/</span></a></p> <p><a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.weisstrong.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces= "true">https://www.weisstrong.org/</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.maxoutmindset.com/">https://www.maxoutmindset.com/</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Jeff Browning | Inside the Mindset of a Two-Decade Ultra Marathon Champion
<p>It was an honor to spend time with Jeff Browning, known in the ultrarunning industry as bronco billy. He is a pioneer in the sport and has finished over 100 ultra marathons in his twenty-year career, with 25 career ultra wins (17 of those in 100 milers). A few weeks ago, he won the Moab 240-mile ultra at the age of 51. Jeff is also an endurance coach, ultra athlete, husband and father of three kids.</p> <p>In this conversation, we discussed mindset, how to control your emotions when things get challenging, the importance of constantly challenging ourselves, parenting, creativity, and longevity.</p> <p>It is so clear to me why he is a champion. He is a master at pushing his mind, body, and spirit within his craft. Most of us will never run a 100-mile race, but that doesn’t mean we can’t train our mindset like Jeff no matter where we are in life.</p> <p>Connect with <a href="https://www.gobroncobilly.com/">Jeff</a> at <a href= "https://www.gobroncobilly.com/">https://www.gobroncobilly.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/gobroncobilly/?hl=en">@gobroncobilly</a></p> <p> </p> <p style="margin: 0in;"><span style= "font-family: Times; color: #0e101a;">This episode is brought to you by Age Is Your Edge book: A practical guide that includes strategies, tools and real-life relatable stories that help you discover purpose and develop a positive, resilient mindset during midlife.

Yet even though we know this truth deep inside, sometimes we use age or our current responsibilities as an excuse to stay in our comfort zones, even though deep down we’re miserable. By changing our mindset, clarifying our purpose, and focusing on what we can do instead of what we can’t, we can become empowered to courageously move toward our dream life and achieving our potential, one step at a time.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">In this concise manual, Scott Papek shares his personal and professional experiences and real-life stories to guide midlifers through a simple self-discovery process that shares introspective questions, details the four pillars of CARE, and explores mental skill strategies that open the heart and strengthen the mindset to embrace all the possibilities, no matter the age. Through his roadmap, midlifers will learn how to be comfortable in the uncomfortable, discover the importance of identifying strengths and core values, set appropriate, realistic goals, incorporate positive self-talk into every action every day, and overcome fear and distractions.</span></p> <p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Follow scott on Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/scottpapek/?hl=en">@scottpapek</a></span></p> <p> </p> <p style="margin: 0in;"> </p>
