Performance chef. Hybrid athlete. Dan Churchill is back in town and on the mic.In this episode, Dan unpacks his evolution — from running restaurants to chasing world-class athletic goals. We dive deep into what it really takes to train hard, eat with purpose, sleep for recovery, and show up with discipline every single day. Dan doesn’t just talk goals — he lives them. He’s chasing a sub-60 at HYROX Pro and a sub-3-hour marathon in London. We break down how he’s training, how he’s planning, and how he stays locked in mentally.We also talk identity — how embracing the title of “athlete” can shift your mindset and elevate your effort across the board. Plus, we go into the psychology behind nutrition, and what it means to truly fuel with intent.CHAPTERS:01:24 Dan's Athletic Goals and Training Journey05:19 Work Ethic and Personal Growth12:09 Balancing Personal Life and Professional Ambitions24:51 Dan's Restaurant Business Experience42:22 Commitments and Productivity55:11 Training with Elite Athletes: Key Takeaways01:00:24 Sleep Gadgets and Hacks01:09:31 Fueling for Performance01:24:11 Balancing Diet and Social Life01:35:10 Concluding Thoughts and Future PlansMENTIONS:Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newporthttps://www.amazon.com/Deep-Work-Focused-Success-Distracted/dp/1455586692Lewis Howes episodehttps://youtu.be/Rl-SnsoPp-c?si=pbJsIBLaagk6R2XoULU Wellness: Wellness Starts Herehttps://uluwellness.com/CONNECT:Become a BPN member FOR FREE - Unlock 20% off FOR LIFEhttps://www.bareperformancenutrition.com/pages/bpn-membership?srsltid=AfmBOorlpjVeag2kkt3eZ5UpWcFA5Bb2v5V_93lmO47Vn_Y8DRdLwDLLFOLLOW:IG: instagram.com/nickbarefitness/YT: youtube.com/@nickbarefitnessKEEP UP WITH DANIG: instagram.com/dan_churchill/?hl=en
