Listen Later

The Ultramarathon Man Dean Karnazes joins us to go beyond the mileage and discuss the definitive guide to pushing limits—in running and in life. Dean, the man who famously ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days and ate a whole pizza mid-run, reveals how he turned a shocking 30th birthday pivot into a globally recognized business brand.

Discover the entrepreneurial strategy behind monetizing extreme endurance, the logistical secrets to managing his massive 50/50/50 project, and the single "mental nugget" he uses to overcome any wall. This is a must-listen for runners, entrepreneurs, and anyone looking for the motivation to reset their career and find their ultimate focus.

  • Business Hacking: The most effective strategy Dean used to land sponsors and successfully monetize an extreme sport.

  • Logistical Genius: The hidden operational secrets he learned while managing the 50/50/50 challenge.

  • Mental Fortitude: How to build the mental toughness needed to push past perceived limits and the five walls before breakfast.

  • Running for Longevity: His unconventional advice on cross-training, injury prevention, and building muscle as an endurance athlete.

  • The Future: His new venture, Greek Running Tours, and his forecast for the future of the running industry.
