Brian Gubernick shares the incredible story of James Lawrence -- better known as the Iron Cowboy -- who completed 50 Ironman triathlons in 50 states in 50 days. What began as an impossible challenge turned into a masterclass in perseverance, resilience, and adaptation.

Brian dives into the moment James nearly broke down—and the unexpected transformation that followed. You'll hear how his body, against all odds, began to adapt, allowing him to post his fastest times at the end of the journey. Then, Brian draws sharp parallels between James’ physical endurance and the emotional and strategic endurance required in business.

Whether you're in your “Day 5” and everything hurts, or your “Day 48” is just around the corner, this episode is a reminder that your breakthrough may be one step beyond your breakdown.

Key Takeaways: - The real growth often begins when things feel the hardest - How micro-efforts and relentless forward progress create lasting success - Why most people quit too early—and how to outlast them
