Episode #380
Reframe adversity by choosing openness, humor, and service; don’t label setbacks as failure.
Weigh the risk of not acting—irreplaceable experiences can outweigh uncertainty and fear.
In endurance and life, expect problems, adapt, and keep moving a mile at a time.
Those things are a bummer, but they're not a failure.
I'm not ever going to stop until, you know, I can't.
Man, shit happens.
You may remember Travis Macy from episode 353— or for the longtime listeners, episode 52. Well, this interview is totally different and even more incredible than our prior conversations.
Travis is a professional endurance athlete and coach, and a finisher of over 130 ultra-endurance events in 17 countries.
He is also the author of “The Ultra Mindset: An Endurance Champion’s 8 Core Principles for Success in Business, Sports, and Life.”
Travis is back on the Success Through Failure podcast, this time with his father, Mark “Mace” Macy— who is one of the godfathers of endurance racing.
In this interview, the amazing father and son duo talk about their latest book, “A Mile at a Time: A Father and Son’s Inspiring Alzheimer’s Journey of Love, Adventure, and Hope,” and how Mace has chosen to live through his disease and not just let it be a death sentence. Listen to their story now!
