The Starfish Podcast: With Abel Vis

Today I interview Steve Scott, a 3-time Olympic runner who holds the world record of 137 sub-4 minute miles. He was the first American to break the 3:50 mile, and his fastest mile was 3:47.69 — the second-fastest mile in history. That time would stand for 25 years. He has numerous accomplishments and records in the world of running. To learn more about his incredible career, go to his Wikipedia. We talk about topics including his experience at the Olympics, how to eliminate anxiety, how he accidentally set a new American record by eliminating his mental pressure to succeed, how you have to trust your training, and the secret to why he didn’t win the Olympics.

Today on the podcast I interview Shanna Ferrell, an extreme athlete who has completed 5 Ironman races. Having completed these grueling triathlons, she is a wealth of wisdom when it comes to the AI-proof skill of creating motivation and understanding the brain. We discuss the truth about procrastination (it’s not what you think). She also shared wisdom on how to trick your brain into being motivated — and that human beings have addictive personalities (and how we can use that to our advantage). We talk about how a human fully prepared can literally run hundreds of miles, and that we are the only creatures that can run like we can. I highly recommend listening to the full episode!
