“I call it an explorative mindset for racing… ‘Let's see what I can do,’ rather than, ‘This is what I need to do.’” - Katie Zaferes Today's guest is Katie Zaferes, a two-time Olympic Games qualifier and 2019 ITU World Triathlon Series Champion. For Katie, the road to Tokyo has been anything but smooth. We not only explore her mindset as a world class triathlete, we also talk about what’s been going on in her life since the onset of the pandemic, including the unexpected passing of her father earlier this year. According to Katie, it was the combination of the “try it and see what happens” attitude instilled in her from both of her parents, as well as her father’s sneaky plan to get her into triathlons, that contributed to her becoming one of the world’s best. As we talked about her current preparations for Tokyo, we got insight into how she’s taken and applied the lessons she’s learned since her disappointing finish at the 2016 Rio Olympics. We’re really excited to share our conversation with Katie with the summer Olympics just a few weeks away. Show Notes (2:34) Three different time zones and training in Spain… (4:00) A truly international training team… (6:09) Grocery stores, logistics, and technology… (9:06) How has it been in Europe with Covid regulations? (12:22) “It's also been really cool because in 2019, almost everyone on our team had been on the podium for the world triathlon series. And in 2018 Joel had four out of six of the overall podium spots with our squad. All three men were on the podium for the overall, and then I was on it for the women. So it's a really cool squad to be a part of.” (14:24) When competitors push you to be great... (16:36) A community of support during a challenging time… (19:02) “So I was like, okay, I'll do this with you, only to find out years later that he might've had a little sneaky insight that maybe I would be good at triathlon. Cause at that time I was running track and swimming and he was thinking, oh, well this could go somewhere.” A dad’s influence and a start in the sport… (23:44) “I call it an explorative mindset for racing… ‘Let's see what I can do,’ rather than, ‘This is what I need to do.’” (26:54) The many lessons from Rio and the benefits of a sports psychologist.. (30:07) How tools in the toolbox made a difference on the bike… (33:19) Taking ownership and communicating effectively… (34:21) Crashes, training, and Tokyo… (37:55) Navigating a rocky road… References 2019 Tokyo Qualifier Crash - Olympics.com Katie's Coach Joel Filliol - website Let Your Mind Run by Deena Kastor - Amazon Guest Katie Zaferes - website | Instagram | Facebook Hosts: Bryan Green - bryan@gobemore.co , maketheleapbook.com Jon Rankin - @chasejonrankin , Go Be More Links: Go Be More Podcast - Episodes | Instagram | Facebook Go Be More website Go Be More YouTube Channel Production and Editing Creatives Collective Marketing…
“I genuinely believe that we should be learning our entire life. And there's a part of me that feels excited for when I'm 78 years old, and all the things I will have learned.” Difficult conversations can very often lead into areas of personal growth. Lifelong runner Tina Muir doesn’t shy away from these discussions as she builds her two successful running podcasts, Running for Real and Running Realized , and continues to challenge fixed mindsets. Timestamped Show Notes: (2:50) Growing up in a classically English town… (6:03) The difference between club sports and school sports… (8:13) “When I was coming up to my final year of college, people kept saying, ‘Are you going to go pro?’ And I was like, ‘What does that even mean?’” (11:12) A lifestyle component to pursuing sports… (14:24) “I can absolutely see why she said that I wasn't committed. I was just plodding along, not really trying. But I did manage to pull it together for the final few races. And once I got through that part, it was not a question—running was a part of me.” (16:52) When commitment goes too far… (19:00) And then there’s those who don’t commit… (20:40) Do you have a fixed mindset or growth mindset? (23:08) The mission of Go Be More… (25:21) “To ignore your dreams, in my opinion, is really to ignore the opportunity to fully understand who you are before it's all said and done.”—Jon (26:50) Does the influence of others impact your mindset? (30:04) A surprising decision… (33:50) “Once I decided I'm done then I felt a huge relief... but I just couldn't get myself to say it. And even when I stopped, I think that was such a dramatic, emotional moment that I didn't know it was for sure. But once I said it in a calm, rational manner, after thinking about it for a few days, then it felt like a huge relief.” (34:29) A couple of new distractions… (37:04) How much did you evolve as a podcaster? (39:40) Conversations that grew into a different platform… (41:21) Running For Real and Running Realized explained… (44:36) What does Go Be More mean to you... “Taking yourself beyond your comfort zone and stepping out to a place that feels like it's helping you to grow and evolve. And I genuinely believe that we should be learning our entire life. And there's a part of me that feels excited for when I'm 78 years old, all the things I will have learned. I'd say it's just what we've been talking about today. Like stretching yourself and taking that deep breath and then doing it anyway, whatever scares you, take a deep breath and go for it.” If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Kara Goucher and Audra Bryant .

“My successes tend to come after moments that felt like my biggest failures.” - Shannon Rowbury It’s easy to view great athletes through just the lens of their training and results. But in this episode, you’ll be reminded there’s so much more to a balanced life. Shannon authentically shares her thoughts on dance, recovery, competing, advocating, and parenting. Her intentional approach to every life endeavor is refreshing and inspiring. Show Notes (3:10) Life now, growing up with Grandma and Irish dance… (8:15) How did the performance aspect of dance translate into successes in running? (11:10) “The more that you can be present, and react to what's coming around you and utilize those strengths and skills that you've sharpened through training, that's when you have the highest likelihood of success.” (14:22) The family bonding experience of dance and sports… (17:16) A transition to running and the impact of a coach… (20:25) “The role of a coach is to lay the fundamentals... if you want to be good, if you want to be great, it's not going to happen at the end of high school. And probably not even at the end of college, it's going to happen through year after year of hard work... And it's teaching those lessons of how to show up and be a good teammate and ultimately reach that mountaintop over years of consistent effort.” (23:22) An injury and a career turning point… (24:51) “After feeling my feelings, which I did for a little bit, I really focused on understanding the root of the problem and making a thoughtful and patient plan to be back to my best fitness in a year from where I was rather than, "I have to be ready by the fall," or, "I have to be ready by indoors…" Let's just go through this recovery process in the way that it needs to be done.” (29:04) Getting “permission” to be patient… (31:31) The secret to getting the best out of yourself when the stakes are the highest… (35:28) “I describe it like the pendulum. You can't swing this way if you don't swing that way. And, so really trying to find that balance in life so that you can be ready and willing and in the right space, mentally, physically, and heart, when it matters most.” (36:00) Imagining More… (40:25) On deciding to be a Mom… “I wanted to make sure she knew that she was my first priority, and I'm trying to make sure that she doesn't ever resent running because it took me away from her. I try to include her in what I'm doing as much as possible. And it brings me such joy that she gets to interact with world champions and Olympians and incredible, incredible people.” (44:15) “If you create a structure for success, our women will come back and do amazing things, but we really need to make it a more supportive, inclusive system.” (45:42) What does Go Be More mean? “I'm really proud to have been someone that didn't let the norms around me set my expectations for myself and that instead it was really, how can I go be more? How can I be the best version of myself? And as much as possible, trying to define what that is, rather than what has been. And so to me Go Be More is being a trailblazer.” If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Olympians Kara Goucher and Amy Acuff . Recorded April 30, 2021.

“I like to try new things and just keep bettering myself in whatever it is that I'm trying to challenge myself at the given time.” Being a top-level athlete in an event that involves chugging beer AND running laps might sound too good to be true for most people. But for Chris, it’s a serious, albeit fun, reality. Listen in as he, Jon, and Bryan chat about “pouring” (pun intended) yourself into physical challenges, entrepreneurial opportunities, and building brands. Show Notes (2:31) Early years in sports and deciding to focus on running… (6:06) Breakout season and college experience… “For the amount of time I was putting into running, I think I was never limited. And looking back, I’m pretty happy with the success that I had in improving every single year throughout college.” (9:54) The lifelong impact of individual experiences… (11:04) “A big takeaway from that is, I'd prioritize running very high in my life, but it's never the sole priority… career and entrepreneurial ventures excite me just as much as running…” (12:41) Taking responsibility for your own results… (14:48) “I'm very much a person that will try something, and either it works, and great I’ll iterate on it. Or if it doesn't work, then I learned from it.” (16:23) A first experience with the beer mile… (19:40) An event that pulls in the non-running community… (21:55) When it became serious… (24:11) “There is a technique to chugging, and yes, a bottle is better than a can, and here's the angle to hold it at. And all these like little pieces that I would've never even thought about, a year or two before that time… I’m going to keep learning.” (26:59) Approach to training and running in other events… (30:35) A summer in Colorado and trying new things… (32:37) “I don't want to limit myself and say that I only have this one siloed goal when my interests are going to change. Realizing what my different talents are, I'm probably gonna realize new things and learn more about myself over the years.” (34:54) The three paths to being super successful… (36:44) The beer mile podcast endeavor… (38:24) Creating a lifestyle of pursuing different interests… (41:27) What does Go Be More mean to you? “No matter what you're pursuing in life, whether it's athletic or spending more time with your family or pursuing a career, to me, it just means you're always trying to level up and be better at whatever it is you're doing.” If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Beer Mile World Classic creator Nick MacFalls and sub-4 miler/entrepreneur Bryan Lindsay .

“I didn't really have a vision. It was just like these little wins that kept me going and really inspired me to create more.” - Kelli Hashimoto With the intent to make her friends smile, Kelli found a way to connect her artistic abilities with her love of the running community. And as a result, Runnergrams was born. Listen in as she and Bryan chat about the challenges in the creative process, scaling up entrepreneurial ideas, and pursuing happiness. Timestamped Show Notes (3:27) A crazy year, a backyard wedding, and being positive… (6:08) Growing up and finding a love for running through a family competition… (11:04) “And at that time, 13 miles seemed unachievable to me, but I was like, okay, if you say so, I'll sign up for this half marathon. And then right after I finished, I was like, that was hard, but I guess I'll sign up for my first full marathon.” An intro into the running community… (12:05) Connecting running with art… (13:28) The genesis of Runnergrams… (15:28) Going from a side project for friends to a more public project… “I was getting more creative, I would say, I was thinking of puns. I love puns. And so apparently, everyone else does, too.” (17:07) From encouraging friends to building a business… “As artists you're always kind of growing and that's why you hate some of the stuff that you've done before.” (18:35) Starting with low expectations… (20:06) A great framework to Go Be More… (22:45) “I truly don't think of myself as a traditional artist. When I think about what I'm doing with Runnergrams, I know that I am creating, and I think a big challenge for me is believing in myself.” Confidence is a strange quality… (25:36) The concept of self-efficacy… (28:06) The impact of the running community… (30:04) “At first, it was fun. And I was like, okay, maybe I'll just keep drawing for the same friends over and over, but it quickly kind of spread.” (33:15) Challenges faced as Runnergrams is growing… (37:29) Next Step and North Star goals… (39:22) What does Go Be More mean? “I actually love it because it kind of resonates with a lot of how I think normally. I can get lazy and sit on the couch and watch Netflix all day. But I think for me, ‘Go Be More’ is that reminder—don't do that. You can be so much more; you can use your time so much wiser, like to read a book. For me, it's creating, but it’s that reminder of not getting trapped in that.” If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Vessel Athletics' Jasmine Sanchez and Jalen Brown or athlete/advocate Dani Reyes-Acosta .

“Find the stuff that you enjoy doing. If it's spending time with your family going to the beach, going to museums or parks or whatever, schedule all that stuff in first and then figure out how to schedule all the work stuff around that.” As entrepreneurs, we can forget that powerful brands are usually a result of many iterations along the way. And successful business journeys take TIME. Matt, Bryan, and Jon dig into this reality as they look at the progression from a family’s shutter company and a failed blog to a top tactical marketing podcast that teaches companies how to build a tribe with their podcast. (2:31) Early stomping grounds… (5:23) An easy jump into entrepreneurship… (8:07) “And so between Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Four Hour Work Week , those two books really opened our eyes to what was possible in very low overhead businesses that led us down the blogging path.” (11:08) Dipping your toes in the water… (13:20) “But in that process, I also learned about blogging. I learned how to create a WordPress website. I learned how to put ads on it. I learned how to start driving some traffic and SEO and all the fundamentals. Even though that site failed, it was a great learning experience where I got all sorts of intel on how to do it a little bit better the next time.” (15:01) The concept of talent stacks… (18:16) Skill sets that compliment… (21:16) A two-headed dragon, and when things really clicked… (24:08) Going down the assessment rabbit hole… (27:18) “It's one thing to know what needs to be done. And it's another thing to build an actual system that works with the actual resources you have in the amount of time you actually have.”—Bryan (29:55) “Everything has to either be a kill, automate or delegate.” (32:29) The main components of the business and what they’re most passionate about… (35:04) Balancing the day-to-day… (37:08) “Find the stuff that you enjoy doing. If it's spending time with your family going to the beach, going to museums or parks or whatever, schedule all that stuff in first and then figure out how to schedule all the work stuff around that.” (39:39) An approach to goal setting… (41:41) “I think we've had this fuzzy vision of where we want to be, but the mechanism to get there, we're very flexible on.” (44:58) Plan continuation bias… (49:02) How PodHacker came to be… (52:43) The many purposes of a podcast… (54:55) What do the words Go Be More mean to you? “I'd say in the context of this conversation, Go Be More means you're more than just your business. Go live your life and let the business be the mechanism for it. That's how I would define it.” If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Matt's Hustle & Flowchart co-host Joe Fier or our conversation on Multiplier Skills . Recorded April 19, 2021.

“Replenishing, stretching, icing, therapy, sleeping, and the mind frame are important. So for me, you know, even when you’re sleeping you’re training. I really believe it was a 24/7 job.” - Meb Keflezighi Today's guest is Meb Keflezighi, arguably the greatest marathoner in US history. Meb has been someone I've looked up to for more nearly 30 years!

“We’ve been talking a lot about goals and especially North Star goals, big goals. The reality is if you’re trying to achieve a really big goal, you’re going to have to achieve some level of mastery, some level of expertise in order to achieve it.”—Bryan Green Are you trying to master something? Jon and Bryan take a deep dive into the five levels of mastery, the importance of mental representations, and the power of purposeful practice. Whether you’re a runner trying to scale up performances, or you are struggling to become more adept at a new skill, you’ll want to download and listen to this episode. Careful explanations, practical steps, and personal stories bring this wisdom to life. (3:00) New and trending on the apparel side of Go Be More… (6:18) “That's what I think a Go Be More shirt should be doing for you. It should be representing that thing you're aspiring towards. And then whenever you see it, whether you're wearing it or not, you get that reminder that ‘I'm committed to this.’” (7:56) “It's really centered on a very specific question—which is how you get the most out of yourself and training. I think it’s something that you and I are both interested in and these are some of the best people in the world to speak to about it.” Jon and Bryan are hosting a second podcast called Fueling the Pursuit.

Go blow up and see how bad it isn't . Because the moment you know that it isn’t, you'll break five.” A young man who was afraid to fail… If you liked this episode, check out our episode on the Five Levels of Mastery and last week's episode on re-thinking goal setting .

“It doesn't matter how passionate we are or how much desire we have if you're doing things in a very ineffective and inefficient way. It's hard to sustain the effort. It's hard to really make progress.”—Jon Rankin If you believe there’s value in collaborating and positive impact through conversation, then you’ll love this episode.

You need stepping stones to understand the path or at least some of the things that are clearly required to make progress towards the bigger goals.” (34:11) Two guys still learning and conversations that lead to new mental connections… (36:43) Bringing clarity with two meaningful metaphors… (40:03) “Pick something that's big and crazy and feels huge. We basically went out to that furthest domino and we went backward saying, 'Where do you need to be in half the time?'” (43:06) “So it's not that there's a better strategy. It's not that everything I'm doing, I shouldn't be doing.

“I can say now, I was really trying to live with intention. That's what it comes down to. Trying to make decisions based on what felt right, what felt good, and what I think is the right step to take.” Many admire a life lived with intention, passion, and purpose, but few dare to figure out what that looks like—and pursue it. Dani Reyes-Acosta left an envied corporate job with Nike to determine how her passions and skill sets could work together to create a life she loves.

Because in turn, they become what the world is chasing, which means they're inspiring others to do the same.”—Jon Rankin (42:44) What does Go Be More mean to you? “It's really, how do you rise up from failure, from success, happiness, and sadness? And being in spaces of light and spaces of dark, whether you've achieved something amazing or have fallen flat on your face—literally or metaphorically—I think that what defines us is, how do we rise up and what are the next steps we take?” If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Olympian Kara Goucher and newscaster Kristina Audencial .

Beginnings - Why Tony says he has fast twitch muscles but a slow twitch mind - His joining the cross country team to avoid playing football and his quitting the cross country team to avoid getting arrested for running on the local golf course - The connection between Martin Luther King Jr's assassination and Tony getting into the African American museum in Washington DC for being the first black man to run marathons on all seven continents - What stood out to Tony about his experience running in Antarctica and what we might not realize about penguins - How his doing sports in high school controlled his weight and kept him from going on insulin, and the lifetime goal he set for himself while in college (and has maintained since then) - Why Tony loved bowling and the 800 meters: the mental game, and how our fathers would try to use it against us Lessons from a Lifetime Running - Just as school courses have aspects in common that we can use to better understand them, running provides valuable lessons in other areas of life - Why it is so important to move outside your comfort zone and pursue your bucket list items, and how that also changes the way you work - Tony's use of the question, "If you died, how many people in your staff would check on your spouse a year later?" to guide his priorities - How an experience being afraid of not making it to the long jump pit taught him the role of fear in both holding us back and achieving big things - How we have to dive into the things we don't know and aren't comfortable with to get to the level we need to achieve - Why it is better to run smaller marathons than the large major ones The National Black Marathoner's Association - How he was originally inspired to create the NBMA after his 47th marathon - Their original goal to fund scholarships for black high school distance runners and to meet once a year at a marathon in the US - How learning about Marilyn Bevins and Ted Corbitt made him realize how little everyone knew about black distance running history, which ultimately led to them creating the Black Distance Running Hall of Fame in 2013 - A story about the amazing small-world connections between Tony and Ron Gregory, an inductee into the Hall of Fame in 2017 - His project to create the Five Island Challenge series of marathons across the Caribbean islands - And how for Tony, Go Be More means to take a risk and try opportunities you aren't used to doing If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Alisa Harvey and Khadevis Robinson .

Want to help us grow the show? Leave us a Rating and Review! “When you get used to hiding, it just becomes background noise.” —Audra Bryant For 25 years, Audra Bryant couldn’t look at her body in a mirror. The scars of an early childhood accident defined her life, from how she dressed to who she thought she could be. But as she pursued her dream to perform and write songs with lyrics that encouraged others, she recognized an inconsistency in her purpose and her reality. This sent her on a personal quest to “do the mirror work” she realized was missing in her life. Now she’s teaching others to accept their scars and turn them into superpowers. (2:16) A family with some unusual math… (4:39) An accident that shaped a life… (8:05) The first realization that she was “different” (12:27) “Everybody else had on a little tank top. I was the only one with a full long sleeve shirt in the summertime. And so that just became my life.” (14:53) Hidden scars can cause you to ignore your own pain. (18:24) “I didn't look at myself in the mirror until I was 25. I didn't look at my scars.” (20:57) Allowing “scars” to hold us back… (25:48) A revelation at 25… (29:25) What was the draw towards theater and singing? (32:58) “I just did everything covered up. But what happens is, you talked about being an artist, I really feel like a part of being an artist is being vulnerable.” (34:55) Doing the personal work, mentally and physically… (36:49) The power of acceptance… (39:20) We all have experiences where we hold ourselves back… (41:14) “Is it just about the cards that I've been dealt, or is it about how I'm playing my hand?” (44:38) Using challenges as opportunities to educate people… (47:47) Finding support in family, community, and sometimes therapists… (52:42) What are you working on now?
