What does training and competing in mountain biking bring to our lives? What does it mean to have our "why" be "just because..."? How can we discover space and meaning through our breath? What is it like when you are "in the soup" and not "thinking about or judging the soup"?

This week's episode is with the incredibly insightful mountain biker, filmmaker, all around AWESOME human being James Adamson!!!

James is a person I look up to and turn to when in need of wonderful, thought provoking conversations that help put into perspective obstacles I'm working through. 

This episode is a great conversation about what he discovered through diving full on back into biking this summer and how those athletic endeavors and adventures can help us navigate our own experiences through the world!

I hope you enjoy the episode and find as many nuggets of wisdom as I did when we recorded!! Thanks James!!

What kind of person can endure 50 ironman triathlons, in all 50 states, in 50 straight days?

An Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride, and finished with a  26.2 mile run for a total of 140.6 miles.

For most people completing one is a MAJOR life accomplishment.

In the summer of 2015, "The Iron Cowboy" James Lawrence powered through 50 of them, for 50 straight days, while traveling through all 50 states with his wife, five kids, and his crew.

He called it the 50.50.50.  Some call it the craziest feat of self-induced human endurance.  I call it the most impressive accomplishment I've ever witnessed.

His story will truly open your eyes to what humans are capable of.

In this week's episode, James shares some high points and low points of the challenge, the mindset it takes to endure this massive endeavor, how he has developed his physical and mental toughness  with the power of consistent action over time, the positive ripple effects he has witnessed from his project, and what challenges he is planning on facing in 2017.

Oh yeah...he also spells out his plan to bike up Mt. Kilimanjaro.

I am beyond honored to bring you guys the interview with James.  I have been a huge fan of his journey for quite some time now. To me he represents everything there is to know about toughness and stoicism.  He was at the top of the list of "dream guests" when starting this podcast and I have not been able to wipe the smile off my face since chatting with him.

So check out this episode and feel free to share it.  Especially, if you find something that connects with you and you feel like it could help others on their journey, because at the end of the day that's the whole purpose of this podcast: to spread stories of goodness.
