We get super jazzed about sharing meaningful conversations with people looking, finding, and living their purpose, and this episode is no different. Today we have Renee Kiley on the show, a once pack-a-day smoker who worked and partied hearty for many years before transforming her life and becoming a professional triathlete in less than 3.5 years. Renee was an active child; she honed in on basketball and played on the state and national level. Dedication and discipline were not her weaknesses, but she channeled those strengths towards a workaholic life that left her fitness in the dust for over a decade. Her health was steadily declining until one day in 2013 when she spectated at the Noosa Triathlon, and a fire ignited that would not extinguish. We love this story and hope you enjoy a listen! In this episode, we discuss: - smoothie bowls make everything right again - the detriment of having to be in control - escalation of an unhealthy lifestyle - the "gift" of an addictive personality - waking up feeling like an ashtray - the life-changing experience at the Noosa triathlon - saying "yes" to find your passion - the inspiration for turning professional - pushing yourself to come in last - its harder when you don't expect it to be hard - motivation is a consequence of life being good - ten-star moments in life We recognize our Patreon community for their support.
