For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I'm joined by endurance athlete and entrepreneur, Epic Bill Bradley.
Bill founded and operated a successful chain of video rental stores called Bradley Video through the 80s and 90s. However, with the rise of digital streaming services in the early 2000s, Bradley Video eventually went bankrupt. After facing significant challenges in the aftermath, Bill sought a new direction and decided to take on, and finish, a 50-mile race. An endeavor that reignited his drive and gave him a much-needed breakthrough. That experience set him on a remarkable path into the world of ultra-endurance and mountaineering. Where he went on to undertake events such as the Arrowhead Ultra 135, going up Mount Aconcagua, and numerous other extreme challenges that pushed his limits both physically and mentally.
In this episode, Bill and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey and the nostalgia of the video store era. We also dive deep into his incredible endurance pursuits, the mindset it takes to keep pushing forward, and how he lives up to his slogan, "Show Up and Suffer". Bill shares how embracing suffering and showing up, day after day, can forge character and uncover your true potential. We also discuss his inspiring new documentary on Apple TV and Amazon Prime, titled Epic Bill, which captures his incredible journey.
