4 years ago I met Eric Hinman at the Endurance Coaching Summit in Boulder. Eric was presenting a workshop on using social media to boost a coaching profile. Since then I’ve followed Eric on Instagram and been impressed with his posts, growing influence, and the apparent way in which he lives his life. It seems to tick all of the High Performance Human boxes. But, as we are all probably aware, life often isn’t as it seems on social media. In today's podcast, I’ll be chatting with Eric about how he really lives his life and if all really is as it appears.

Based in Denver, Eric is a content creator and social media influencer, sponsored by dozens of consumer brands. Some of Eric’s partners include Ten Thousand, Vital Proteins, Beam, Ice Barrel, Kane Footwear, Sans Meal Bar, Joovv, Discodrop, and Aftershokz.

Eric is also a health and wellness, tech, and hospitality entrepreneur/angel investor. Eric is the co-founder of Original Grain, a multi-unit, healthy-fast-casual restaurant, XO Taco, a trendy-Mexican restaurant in Syracuse, NY. 

We’ll be chatting about:

The value of manifesting to achieve the life you want

From CrossFit to triathlon and back

Training for Ironman and building a business

Collecting dots and connecting dots - the value of networking

If you are a power athlete why the MAF 180-age formula really works
