In this episode, I sit down with Rich Hernandez, founder of 'Do Hard Things 365' and an extraordinary athlete known for his mind-boggling physical feats. 

We talk about his journey from an engineering and business career to influencing and inspiring others through extreme challenges like 3,000 consecutive pushups, a four-hour plank, and running the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim. 

Rich shares how David Goggins' book 'Can't Hurt Me' ignited his passion for pushing physical and mental limits, his method of doing something hard every day, and the importance of building momentum. 

We also delve into the role of community, accountability, and the potential future scientific studies around extreme physical endurance.
