"Always give 110%; its the extra 10% that everyone remembers." Whatever Misty does in life, she's giving everything she has. Looking to get back in shape after her 3rd child, Misty begged people at her gym to run a 5k. A few years later, she was towing the line at her first triathlon and shortly thereafter her first IronMan. Like many of us, Misty has no problem working hard (when we recorded she had a triple training day), but with the help of her coach Mike Lovato, she has learned to pull back when she needs to, so that she can kick ass when she wants to. This is a conversation about positivity and having fun...and always crushing it along the way. Find Misty at www.instagram.com/inkedtriathlete Thanks to my biggest supporter, Zane's Cycles.

After an early career as a professional cyclist, Tina knew she had to rekindle the competitive fire, so she decided to start training for triathlons. She competed in numerous races including an IronMan and then focused on qualifying for Boston. She crossed the finish line in 2013 only to hear the news that would forever change our sport. Twenty minutes later she went from an emotional high to quickly realizing how precious life really is. She's had some struggles since then, including a battle with Lyme Disease, but 5 years later, Tina is towing the line again at Boston. This is a great conversation about training & racing and how it's so much more than getting on that podium.

The day that Maddy earned her Pro card, there was no press release, no signing bonus, no fanfare...maybe a call from her Grandma...but her intense training continued as usual. After winning her age-group at USAT Age Group National's, Maddy spoke with her legendary coach, Siri Lindley, and knew that if she focused on her mental game, she could have tremendous success as a Pro. This is a great conversation about doing the "little" things to make you successful; such as focusing on recovery and nutrition, while working hard to strengthen your mind and mental fortitude. I'm looking forward to following Maddy's journey on her first year as a Pro. Follow Maddy at www.instagram.com/peschmaddytri and her coach Siri at https://www.teamsiriustriclub.com/

As an avid Zwift user, i was beyond excited to have the opportunity to chat with Zwift Game Designer (and IronMan winner) Jordan Rapp to dig a little deeper into the virtual trainer tool. We chat about the future of Zwift, the areas they're focusing on, and also the growing pains. Thank you to my listeners who provided some of these questions. You can learn more about Zwift at www.zwift.com Ride On!

Jesse is like most age-groupers: he balances triathlon training with being a husband, being a Dad, and running a business...except that you need TWO hands to count the amount of times he's won Wildflower and he also has some IronMan wins as well!! I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to chat with Jesse and dig in deeper on everything he's working on. From the origins of Picky Bars to what else he wants to add to his busy life, Jesse if one of the rare pros who puts his life (both training and personal) out there for all to see. Thanks again to Jesse for finding time to do this and to chat with one of his "cray ass fans." Find Jesse at www.leapdaysports and www.pickybars. #jaymactris

"It ain't over 'til I say it's over, enough when I say enough...throw me to them wolves and close the gate up on me...afraid of what'll happen to them wolves"-Eminem. Jill Kuhn has said "FU" to so much in her life and she is such a Survivor that one wonders what she will accomplish next. She started running to find some peace as a mother of 4 boys and eventually found the itch to do a marathon. But that wasn't enough, so how about an IronMan? The problem was that she didn't know how to Swim! No problem: Done. She soon found out that she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis...so instead of slowing down, she decided it was time to push further and finish her first 50 miler. Stop there? Not a chance...next up: 100k and then a 100 miler! This is a great conversation about not only surviving what's thrown at you, but also enjoying what life gives us along the way. Follow Jill at www.instagram.com/ironwillironjill for daily positivity and inspiration.

“When my body is fit and strong, my mind is fitter and stronger too.” After winning IronMan Wisconsin in 2004, Nicole set out to change the image of women's running...and she did just that when she founded Skirt Sports three days later. Today Skirt Sports has expanded from its initial running skirt to a full line of inspirational women’s fitness apparel sold in hundreds of stores across the US and throughout the world, as well as a huge focus on events as the main driving force for women to move their lives forward. We chat about balance and integration of owning a company, raising a family, and racing triathlons. We also joke about not being the most accomplished triathlete in your household. :-) I was truly humbled to be able to chat with Nicole and you can hear more from her on her podcast: Run This World.

Her smile is so amazing...yet there are some past struggles that she has overcome thru the power of our sport: she is Lindsay Berkebile. Lindsay is a 3x IM 70.3 World Championship Qualifier (and even qualified at her first 70.3 race!) and is not stopping there. Growing up in a house where your Dad is a 5x Kona qualifier, Lindsay was destined to race triathlons, but early in life she struggled with an eating disorder that had her extremely unhealthy and even close to death. Through the power of endurance racing, she finished her first marathon, and immediately decided she was going to use triathlon to push her mind and body in the most positive way possible. She now appreciates everything that life gives her and harnesses the power of food as fuel and triathlon as inner strength to take on the world! Her smile shines in our convo, but follow her journey to see the real smile on instagram at www.instagram.com/you_got_chicked

After an amazing career at his Alma Mater, ASU, Rocky took over the role as CEO of USA Triathlon, and immediately hit the ground running. (No pun intended). On day 2 of the job, he was meeting with the leaders of our sport and figuring out ways to grow triathlon membership. Immediately the My time to Tri campaign was formed, and he hasn't stopped. Rocky's ultimate goal is to make triathlon the all-inclusive sport of everyone and to grow membership by 100,000 members. His challenge to all of us is to invite 10 new people to Tri our amazing sport. His motivation and positivity is infectious and I'm excited to see where he takes triathlon over the next couple of years. www.mytimetotri.com #jaymactris

Mom of twin boys, wife, Betty Squad member and badass triathlete who has set some lofty goals for the next 24 months...she is @trirun_twinmom Christina Ekonomi. We chat about what it takes to juggle a family, while training for multiple triathlons with the goal of making it to World Championships. We also talk about anxiety and how Christina used triathlon as her positive outlet versus relying on medication. Remember to follow the #iamlimitless campaign because as triathletes, we have no boundaries! @jaymac_tris
