On this episode of The Project Endure Podcast, Joe Rinaldi sits down with Dustin Riedesel to talk about getting diagnosed with leukemia a week before his wedding, seeing cancer as one of the best things to ever happen to him, experiencing the gap between who we are and who we want to be, three important questions (did I try my best? did I make wise decisions? did I treat others well?), defining the arc if life using analogies, getting rid of our biggest weaknesses to let our strength breathe, going through rehab to overcome alcoholism, unraveling addiction to access self-esteem, using running as repetitious resilience, winning the battle between the ears, be the person who decides to keep going, acceptance is the secret to endurance, imagining sisyphus happy, seeing writing as a sacred space to slow down (to become a better thinker), shrinking problems through expressing them, the power of measuring less and relating more and so much more. Give this episode a listen as we dive deep into Dustin's life and learn about what persistence, perspective and endurance mean to him.
