Wealth is a choice Podcast

Listen Later

In this episode of Wealth is a Choice, host James Studinger reconnects with professional triathlete Carrie McCoy to revisit her incredible solo cycling journey around Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Carrie became the first woman to earn plaid by completing 1,200 miles in just 10 days during the Tour Da Yoop, Eh.

James and Carrie reflect on the powerful moments from that adventure, from the people she met and the challenges she faced, to how those experiences shaped her perspective on life, resilience, and gratitude.

Carrie’s story is one of courage, connection, and continuous self-discovery. Her belief that we “get to” take on life’s challenges, rather than “have to,” reveals a mindset rooted in appreciation and perseverance.

Together, James and Carrie explore key themes including:

  • Mindset and Motivation: Why perspective defines how we experience difficulty and growth.
  • Purpose in Connection: How recognizing what’s unique in others strengthens us personally and professionally.
  • Resilience and Reflection: What it means to finish strong, even through pain and setbacks.
  • Service and Helping others: How helping others provides insights to ones self and can provide a “get to” mentality.
  • Carrie’s story reminds us that life is about knowing what drives us, staying disciplined, and finding joy in the journey.
