Listen to my chat with Ernest on a variety of topics. He tells me all about how he went from an overweight smoker with a bad back to a two time Iron Man Canada finisher. We talk about the addiction to training, and how certain people are always searching for the next extreme activity. He did a triathlon called "Escape from Alcatraz", where he jumped in frigid cold water with 1400 other people and he spent the whole swim scared of being attacked by a shark.
Ernest is a Certified Financial Planner, and he gives some insight on how to build a great team. We spend some time talking about passion for working hard, and the ability to endure hardships in order to succeed. He talks about the need for suffering and how instant gratification isn't beneficial to success.
Listen to me try to explain a study about marshmallows and delayed gratification, and see if you can understand what I'm trying to explain. Let me know what you think!
