What if endurance isn’t about pushing harder, but about continuing to evolve over a lifetime?

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.

Margie’s newest book is “Becoming a Badass: From Fearful to Fierce.”
