What happens when you combine a complete ignorance of your limits with an unbreakable faith? You run a 1:52 in the 800m after just four years on the track.

Welcome back to Mindsight, the show where we dive into the minds of athletes striving for the absolute peak of their powers. Hosted by Anghelo Eleftheriou.

Today, we are sitting down with emerging track star Elijah Patrick Gould. Elijah’s journey into elite running is anything but traditional. After moving from the US to Cyprus with zero athletic background—he stepped onto the track just four years ago. Since then, his rise has been electric.Driven by a fearless embrace of the "blessing of ignorance" and a deep-rooted faith, Elijah recently shattered his own expectations with a massive 1:52.43 in the 800 meters. Now, he has his sights locked on the NCAA and a 1:4X by the end of the year.

In this episode, we unpack the behind-the-scenes reality of elite 800m training, how to push through agonizing plateaus, and why trusting the process is the ultimate key to unlocking your potential.In this episode, we covered:

▪️ Why the “blessing of ignorance” creates a purity of effort, free from limiting expectations.

Welcome back to The Mindsight Podcast, the show where we dive into the minds of athletes striving for the absolute peak of their powers. Hosted by Anghelo Eleftheriou.

Today, we are sitting down with 21-year-old George Kouzis: a 6-time National Mountain Biking Champion, a Kona Bikes factory rider, and an absolute endurance machine.

In 2025, George completed a EuroTrip-an insane 130-day solo adventure where he drove 24,000 kilometers across 22 countries in a Škoda Kodiaq, living out of a roof tent, and racing the most brutal courses in Europe.

In this episode, we unpack the psychology of flying down blind trails at 100 km/h, the financial pressure of crowdfunding your athletic dreams, and what it actually takes to drop into a freezing glacier race with a busted, stitched-up knee.

If you need a reminder to go out and live life, this episode is for you.🔔

Welcome to Episode 3 of Mindsight, the show where we dive into the minds of athletes striving for the absolute peak of their powers. Today, we are flipping the script. Christian Ashiotis takes over the interviewer's chair to put Anghelo Eleftheriou in the hot seat.

Growing up as a self-described "chubby kid" with zero aerobic base, he decided to completely rewrite his identity. Since lacing up his shoes in early 2025, Anghelo has run Southampton Marathon, run a chaotic 240km relay across Cyprus, and faced the humbling reality of falling 31 minutes short of his marathon goal in Limassol.

Now, he is completely rebuilding his protocol to hunt down an elite benchmark: a Sub-3 Hour Marathon in Valencia.

In this episode, we unpack the psychological weight of shedding an old identity, the struggle of eating, balancing a demanding degree with marathon prep, and what it really takes to shave 41 minutes off a marathon time.

If you’ve ever felt too heavy, too slow, or too far behind to start something great, this episode is your sign to begin.

Did you run 100km for your birthday? Mo Kebbe did.

Welcome back to MindSight, the show where we dive into the minds of athletes striving for the absolute peak of their powers. Hosted by marathon runner Anghelo Eleftheriou and competitive powerlifter Christian Ashiotis.

Today, we are sitting down with an absolute endurance machine. Mo Kebbe is a triathlete who has conquered the ultimate test of human limits—multiple times. With finishes at Ironman Tallinn (12:49:46), Ironman Emilia Romagna (12:23:17), and a brutal 11-hour, 26-minute 100km ultra for the Nicholas Zoe Foundation, Mo knows exactly what it takes to survive the darkest mental places a human can go.

In this episode, we unpack the extreme mental warfare of a 12-hour race, the $10,000+ it costs just to stand on the starting line, and the nutrition required to complete these extreme races.

If you need a reminder that your physical limits are further than you think, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the debut episode of Mind Sight! To kick off the show, host Anghelo Eleftheriou is putting his co-host in the hot seat: Christian Liam Ashiotis.

Before we start bringing you interviews with other top-tier athletes, we are diving deep into Christian’s own relentless pursuit of greatness. Growing up in Cyprus, Christian forged an iron-clad work ethic while training for the Military Police before making a massive pivot to the UK to study Sports Science at the University of Essex. On the platform, he is a force. Competing in the highly contested 83kg weight class, Christian shattered three Sub-Junior National Records in 2023 and now has his sights locked on the British University Championships (BUCS) and Junior Worlds.

But this episode goes far beyond the physical weight on the bar. Christian gets incredibly vulnerable about the mental weight athletes carry. We discuss using the gym as an anchor through childhood trauma, the dark reality of rehabbing stubborn adductor injuries, and how to break through the mental blocks that paralyze you under heavy weight.

Whether you are a competitive lifter or just someone trying to optimize your life, this episode is a masterclass in resilience, discipline, and human optimization.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Origin Story: Christian’s roots in Cyprus and the strict discipline he learned from Military Police training.

• The Reality of "The Climb": Breaking three national records and the massive gap he must close to reach Junior Worlds.

• The Dark Places: Navigating devastating adductor injuries, mental blocks, and childhood trauma.

• The Fuel for the Mind: Why nutrition is about more than just "bulking" and how it directly dictates your mood, clarity, and daily energy.

• Finding Your Voice: Overcoming the fear of judgment, dealing with backlash from friends and family, and building real-life confidence through social media.

• Rapid-Fire Closer: A high-energy sign-off covering everything from his ultimate lift to his go-to PR track.

Follow the Journey:Make sure to follow Christian on Instagram/TikTok at @christianashiotis to watch his climb to Junior Worlds and get daily advice on mental strength and nutrition.
