Well, funny, this other guy that I'd met did an introduction to the race director at some point because I was trying to get into this other race. Well, sure enough, was my name not one of the very first ones to get picked? And so, but my credit card didn't run through. Oh, no. Perfect. Oh. I'm like, I have an out. Yeah. I don't have to do this. My bad.
Because I was actually pretty scared. I was with Gearheart. We were in. That's terrifying. It is terrifying, bro. But then, you know, it's funny. We're driving one day with my wife's over there. My buddy calls me. He's like, hey, congrats on getting into Moab. She looks at me like.
Yeah. So I did, I did pay for it. When does that race October? Yeah. So 240 miles. I think you have like 130 hours, five days to get it done. How many people do this? I think there's like 250 or 300 people. How many finish on average? Probably like my, I'm guessing here. Okay. So like, I'm going to guess like around if two 50 started probably like one 80 start finishing. All right.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I'll finish it. It's like five people come up. I'm going to race it. Oh, you're like, I want to win. I, you know, I'm going to do good. It's my goal. I don't know if I'm going to do good. I might not make it. I might not finish it. There's a chance. Like 240 miles is like three and a half days straight is my goal would probably be my goal. Maybe three days.
Yeah.
So that when you're starting to deal with like B and, and so one of my bigger problems that I do end up getting a swimmer induced pulmonary edema, my lungs fill up with fluid. Um, and I got that when I did that Ultraman Ironman Ultraman, uh, race. Um, yeah.
So that's the, that's kind of the big fear that I've got is like, if my lungs just, what, what is your, since you started doing this, if you had to compare, uh,
Yeah, I think, well, before I drank and I was just like, that's how I dealt with stress before. Right. Um, but, and now, and I had a lot of chaos in my life because I mean, it's just, you know, I wasn't just as focused now. Um, because I can like when I run and I train, like I get clarity and confidence. I'm just, I literally, you know, go to bed at eight 30, wake up at four 30.
Like my life is very like dude to do. And we travel a lot and have lots of adventures and stuff, but it's very, just like super basic, super focused on business. And so the, the running does de-stress very well. I mean, now my cortisol levels are probably through the roof and I had to go on testosterone and a whole bunch of other shit. But, um, I'm handling it better now than I ever have.
It has to be. When you think about the times that you grow the most in your life, it's like when really bad things happen. There's death, the financial issues, divorce. Those things change you. And so you can actually do that intentionally. And it doesn't have to be 100 miles. It could be a half marathon. That is intense. And that is the same type of fortitude and mental...
you know, whatever that word is to get you through that. And, and it's good practice for when things go upside down in life for when they happen. Yeah. And, and you build, you build the same muscles.
Right. And so, you know, when, you know, this year still, you know, we're on the path to having a massively successful year, but nonetheless, like lots of reinvestments and a lot of risk, you know, in a lot of fear.
like methodically and with confidence make the right calls also gotten really good at just knowing that i don't know the answer and who to call next and be okay with that yeah you know being more vulnerable is another thing i think too is just being real with myself Listen, I don't need to be perfect. I don't need to know all the answers. If I'm wrong, I'm fucking wrong and I fuck up a lot.
And whether it's with my team or with my kids or with my wife or just even with, you know what, if I go offside because sometimes I run a little hot. But I'm okay with saying I fucked up. And just being, hey, listen, I'll put in the work. I'll fix it.
so tell me about zero to 100 bro because obviously you're telling everybody it's all over you like it's a way of life don't ask me what it is it's the way it is yeah so um so before i ran that 100 mile run i was with a buddy in puerto rico and and we were working on a whole bunch of other things that turned into this zero to 100 because he's like bro everything you do is zero to 100.
And that was just like a way to connect a life philosophy on how I do everything. So it's an easy way for people to understand a message, right? Which is like move fast, you know, play all out, you know, just commit fully like you're on this path, this journey. And then we, you know, we did the zero to 100 miles, raised a hundred grand for charity.
And then I'm just like the, every time I would hit a stage, I would get, I would tell the story that, Hey, the thing that got me on this good path and to, you you know, cause the path that I'm on created some massive relationships. Right. And then that spins into more money and more revenue and everything. Right.
So it all, but it all started with doing the 75 hard and I would talk every, you know, I would get probably like 50 to 60% of the room would sign up to the 75 hard the next day. And within that week, 90% of them have dropped because it's hard. Yeah. Right. And I'm like, hey, there's got to be a better way.
So we started the zero to 100 day challenge, which is 45 minutes of exercise a day, eating healthy, no booze. Right. And it's just the life that I live. Right. Really. So it's sustainable. If you miss a day, you just double up another day. And so we just that's what part of that is, is just a given that people an opportunity to have the same.
