What does it take to become an Olympian and do those things carry over into success in other endeavors? If anyone knows it's Mike Miller. He's CEO of the World Olympian Association, which brings together the 120,000 living Olympic alumni. How do these athletes transition into the business world? Will Spartan become an Olympic sport? The Olympic spirit is strong in SPartan's international competitions!

LESSONS Set a plan. Work hard to achieve the plan. Be motivated by your values. Push yourself in training. Be curious. Keep positive people around you. GO FOR IT - don't overthink. If you're not making mistakes, you're not trying. Approach life the way you would approach training for the Olympics. Be a part of someone else's success
