The Moment You Want to Quit
2d ago01:17:15Tap to summarizeWhat actually keeps you going when everything in you wants to stop? In this episode, Taylor sits down with endurance athlete Ted Lomicka, who became the first man to complete the 34-mile Triple Maui Nui Swim, nearly 24 hours in open water, crossing three of Hawaii’s most demanding channels. But this conversation isn’t about the swim. It’s about the moment in the middle of it… when he was ready to quit. We get into what that breaking point actually feels like, how your mind starts to negotiate with you under pressure, and what ultimately pulls you forward when pushing harder isn’t enough. Ted also shares how his perspective on endurance has evolved after 35 IRONMAN finishes, competing in ULTRAMAN, and continuing to push new limits at 57 years old. This episode is about more than physical performance. It’s about mindset, environment, and the people around you, and how those things determine whether you stop… or keep going.

In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor sits down with Margie Goldsmith, an award-winning travel writer, bestselling author, and lifelong adventurer who proves that it’s never too late to redefine what’s possible. At 82 years old, Margie is still training, traveling, and pursuing challenges. She’s visited over 150 countries across seven continents, completed marathons and Olympic-distance triathlons, summited Mount Rainier, and reached advanced base camp on the north face of Mount Everest. But her story goes far beyond the surface of those accomplishments. In this conversation, Margie shares her journey from a place of fear and limitation to a life built on courage, curiosity, and continuous growth. She reflects on how experiences like Outward Bound helped reshape her identity, how physical challenges became a pathway to confidence, and what it means to live life on your own terms. Together they explore: • The transformation from fear to confidence through action • How physical challenge can reshape identity at any stage of life • Why aging doesn’t define what’s possible • The role of adversity in building perspective and resilience • What it means to truly live a full and intentional life This episode is a powerful reminder that endurance isn’t limited to a single season.

Transcribe →Hunger for More: What Extreme Endurance Teaches About Identity, Purpose, and Human Limits w/ JD Tremblay
May 1901:04:12Tap to summarizeWhat drives someone to keep going when every part of their body is telling them to stop? In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor sits down with JD Tremblay to explore the mindset behind some of the most demanding endurance challenges in the world and the deeper lessons they reveal about identity, resilience, and purpose. JD is an ultra-endurance athlete, entrepreneur, and the creator of Hunger4More, a movement centered around pushing beyond perceived limits and developing the mental toughness required to pursue meaningful goals. He’s also completed events like the EpicDeca, one of the most grueling races on the planet, requiring athletes to complete ten Ironman-distance triathlons over ten consecutive days. But this conversation goes far beyond racing. Taylor and JD dive into the psychology of extreme endurance, what really happens in the mind when fatigue and doubt begin to take over, and why the hardest moments in endurance sports often mirror the challenges we face in business, leadership, and life. Together they explore: • What the EpicDeca reveals about human limits • How the mind negotiates with pain and fatigue • The difference between ambition and true purpose • Why adversity often reveals identity rather than builds it • How cultivating a “hunger for more” can reshape the way we pursue growth Access JD’s ENDURE Framework HERE.

Transcribe →Less Discipline, Better Defaults
May 500:36:05Tap to summarizeMost people think they need more discipline. They don’t. They need better defaults. In this solo episode, Taylor breaks down why discipline is unreliable under pressure and why your real performance is determined by what you do when you’re tired, stressed, and overwhelmed. The truth is, you don’t rise to your goals… you fall to your defaults. Taylor walks you through how to identify where your current defaults are holding you back, and how to rebuild them so you can stay consistent in your training, your business, and your life, especially when things aren’t perfect. Because the version of you on your hardest days? That’s the one that determines your results.

Transcribe →Building Strength, Community, and Long-Term Fitness w/ Chris Ryan
Apr 2100:52:13Tap to summarizeBuilding Strength, Community, and Long-Term Fitness w/ Chris Ryan Description: What if the real key to fitness isn’t intensity, motivation, or discipline, but sustainability?
