100. Laird Hamilton & Gabby Reece: Why Avoiding Discomfort Is Ruining Your Health


Listen Later

What does it take to translate athletic excellence into mastery of life, relationships, and business? In this episode of Extend, legendary big wave surfer Laird Hamilton and pro volleyball champion Gabby Reece join me to share the mindsets and practices that have sustained their 30-year relationship and individual success.

We discuss why "getting tired" is essential for health and how they've built a thriving business around authentic products. We also discuss the simple daily rituals that matter more than complex optimization protocols.

Laird Hamilton is a pioneer of big wave surfing and hydrofoiling, while Gabby Reece dominated professional volleyball before becoming a wellness advocate. Together, they created XPT (Extreme Performance Training) and co-founded Laird Superfood, a publicly-traded company focused on functional nutrition.

We Also Discuss:

  • Why "Getting Tired" Makes Food Taste Better and Improves Sleep Quality

  • The Art of Comfortable Confrontation in Marriage and Business

  • Why Observing Nature Is Medicine for Modern Stress

  • The Decision Fatigue Trap That's Sabotaging Your Day Before 9 AM

  • Why They Choose Their Suffering Instead of Letting Life Choose for Them
