In this episode, I explore the profound similarities between endurance running and building a successful business. Drawing from my own journey as both a business owner and runner over the past three years, I break down three key parallels: how building an aerobic base through boring, consistent Zone 2 training mirrors the slow, unglamorous daily work required in business; how proper nutrition for athletic performance parallels feeding your mind with quality information while weeding out negativity; and how advanced race fueling strategies compare to leveraging mentors and conferences to accelerate business growth. I explain why there's no overnight success in either discipline—only the compound effect of small, consistent efforts over time that eventually create the "hockey stick" growth curve everyone wants. This perspective has transformed how I approach both running and business, reminding me that excellence in any area requires the same core principles of consistency, patience, and strategic improvement.
