Racing Audaciously Against Time With Jeffrey Weiss

I'm not a doctor, medical professional, or trained therapist. I'm a researcher and pragmatic biohacking practitioner exercising free speech to share evidence as I find it. I make no claims. Please practice skepticism and rational critical thinking. You should consult a professional about any serious decisions that you might make about your health.

Michelangelo is reported to have said: “The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high, and we miss it, but that it is too low, and we reach it.”
This isn't a mindset 101 podcast, so I don't have to tell you to aim high; to ride the edge of your capacity. You already know that fortune favors the bold.
Think of your grandest goals - in your career, in business, in your creative or artistic expression, and with your family - it's my contention that whatever you endeavor to do in life, you're not honoring those goals sufficiently if you are not regularly challenging your body. For our minds rot when our bodies go unchallenged.
I interview a man who has taken THAT to the extreme and arrived at a surprising mindset takeaway - which we'll share at the end of this podcast. Jeffrey Weiss, an Ironman, triathlete, and ultramarathoner - pushing through grueling 20-hour night races - at 63 years old. And in all his free time, he's an attorney and author. He sent me his new book, Racing against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Midlife.
Here's the mindset TLDR from the book: take on big, hairy, audacious goals that inspire you to push all the way to your limits, but then quit when you are ahead. But read the book anyway, as it will inspire you!
