"The road to success is littered with failures." How do you evolve into an unbreakable champion? Never set limits. Welcome pain. And be ready to die to win. This is the ethos of Ken Rideout, returning to the podcast to arm you with the tools you need to chase huge dreams and transform your life wholesale anytime, and at any age. An absolute force of nature, Ken consistently takes the podium at prestigious marathons, including a recent age group world champion title at the Chicago Marathon plus wins in the 50+ division of the New York City, Boston, and Tokyo Marathons. This summer he debuted his ultra career by not only completing the Gobi March, a grueling 155-mile, self-supported, 7-day stage run across the harsh desert terrain of Mongolia, but outright winning it by over 84 minutes. Today we unpack Ken’s extraordinary Gobi March win, his unique strategy in the race, and what motivates his beast-like drive. We also discuss the mindset tools, discipline, consistency, and humility that fuel his growth and help him get better, faster, and stronger in his 50s. Ken is one of a kind, bullshit-free, and 100% authentically himself. His vulnerability is refreshing. His perseverance is remarkable. And his message is powerful: nothing good happens when you’re comfortable. Episode 793. ✌🏼🌱 -Rich

You can't be afraid to fail. Fear is the worst and I say it all the time and like Teddy Alice talks about this and he learned this from Custom Otto and it's like you know it's a well-known expression but the coward and the hero feel the same exact emotion when confronted with a situation. It's just how do you act in response to the fear. The hero is like okay I see you, I know you're there, here's how I'm going to handle this. The coward is like I fuck this run or ignore. So you can be afraid to fail it's just what are the actions that you're taking in the face of that. You can be fearful you can't be afraid because you will fail like if you try to do epic shit you're gonna fail. The friggin road to success is littered with failures like anyone who's who's who's been super successful has had failures along the way. It's impossible to like do epic shit and not have failures.
