After having spent an extended period of time training and listening to many hours of podcasts, I wanted to reflect on a few key ideas from none other than himself:

- Pull the string - start, when you’re not sure what to do, when you don’t want to do, start. Pull the string and begin, because starting is the hardest part and once you start you’ll find that the string begins to pull faster. I think this applies to any asleep of life, trying to get in shape, starting a business, working on a new project at work, etc.

- Volume negates luck - I often don’t tell people good luck in their endeavors if I know them well enough to know what is happening behind closed doors. I think that luck leaves things to this arbitrary idea that you can leave it to chance that you will be successful. While there are many things that can go wrong in an ultra, putting yourself in those situations as many times as possible before the actual test is a great way to mitigate the risk of a failure. “Outwork your self doubt” “Do so much work that it would be unreasonable for you to suck”

- Reference point, motivation & deprivation - I think this has been one of my favorite things Alex has discussed. He had someone ask him to give them motivation, to which his response was, “define motivation.” Which she couldn’t, and he then operationalized the definition in typical fashion. Motivation is the opposite of deprivation. You’re most motivated to eat, when you’ve been starved of food. Yet, it is different when talking about non-physiological needs. Things like being rich, where you may not have a lot of money, but are not motivated to go get rich. Which brings up the concept of reference points. That the reference point dictates the level of motivation. If you perceive your deprivation to be larger than those around you then you will be more motivated to achieve more. The people you surround yourself with and compare yourself to will be one of the biggest impacts on your life. “Always be the dumbest person in the room.”

While there are many more ideas and lessons to be gleaned from the many hours of podcasts, these are some that stick out. I hope you enjoy them!!

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life, like loving everybody all the time and be nice… Dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay for as long as we do.”

You will be missed Miller, by all your dog (wunny especially) and human friends alike. Rest in peace good buddy ❤️🦮

Western States - The Night

Round two, pod thoughts.

“Habituating to the suck”

As day turned to night and the carnage grew, I began to wonder more of why people do these races. Runner after runner coming into the final aid station at painted rocks, with the lights on and no one home.

Hormozi talks about how we habituate to the good, his example being buying a new car. You buy the car and within a month it just becomes your car, it no longer has the allure of a once shiny object. He also says we can habituate to the suck (references how torture works). You find out a (for lack of a better term) “new way to get kicked in the nuts”.

I think some part of these long distance races is chasing that new feeling of exploring the unknown of the suck. The understanding that we have more to give and more to uncover in ourselves.

The story doesn’t end there, as Alex goes on to talk about a similar rendition of the parable of the Mexican fisherman. He has an employee who is a trainer who was doing an exceptional job. Just like any normal career path, he promoted that trainer to manager. A few months later he came back to Alex to ask to be demoted. To which Alex responded, “Your pay will get cut in half!” And the employee said, “I’ll just be poor then.” Alex then responded “I respect it, but I will never understand it.”

I think we often lose sight of content within a progress filled dopamine chasing world. I know I’m a victim to this mindset as well, constantly trying to pursue bigger races, latest trends, newest information, etc.

So I’ll end with a quote I love that I believe I heard on .

“You’ve already achieved goals that you said would make you happy.”
