Inspired by the chapter "Peripheral," we delve into the importance of being aware of what's around us, not just what's directly in front of us. Using the past global situation with COVID-19 as an "ultimate classroom setting," we can reflect on how soc...

This is the second in a series of "chill sessions". These are usually shorter than most episodes, maybe sometimes more poignant, but still encompassing the endurance lifestyle.
What is perspective? As defined, perspective is the state of one's ideas, the facts known to them, etc., in having a meaningful relationship.
Note: Song intro/backing/outro is a song I've written titled, Depth (Remix).

Quite honestly, human beings can be quite the selfish and self-righteous bunch. Often, we believe the world (or life) owes us something; or if something goes wrong, we look for anything or anyone to blame, before looking at ourselves.
I want you to get these three letters in your head: QTR. What does this seemingly random acronym even mean?

As a species, we feed off of our surroundings. The uglier, more hateful, negative, etc. they are, whether internally or externally (or both); it affects all of us. Think of it this way. If a child grows up in a home where there is only loud arguing and violent outbursts, etc.; he/she will carry this with them throughout their days (and at some point, will more than likely, act out in a similar manner). Our nurturing/surroundings cr...
Every day throughout our decision making, interactions, etc. there are two creatures battling inside you. Since I love sharks, I’ll pick them as the allusion for this battle. You can pick whatever creature you like (cats, dogs, wolves, etc.). Who wins? That depends. Who should win? That’s a non-starter. That answer should be obvious, but is very elusive to our species more often than not. So, let’s learn and discover a little about...
In the fourth installment of the Teach4Endurance Podcast, I talk about "The Secret" behind his success in both endurance events and teaching. As a husband, father, endurance athlete, and dedicated educator, my secret lies in fostering meaningful relationships and evolving with the challenges, both on the racecourse and in the classroom. Hear how I integrate my family into my training sessions, prepare for the unexpected, and create...
I'm not a big fan of hypotheticals. I'd rather just go experience or learn something to get the answers, rather than asking "what if" all my life, while never getting very far. If you're going to play the "what if" game, answer your question and be proactive in a solution or a desired outcome.
Note: The intro/outro/backing track is a composition of mine titled Let It Ring.
It's important to remain aware of what type of motivators are running your day to day life. Are you being led by extrinsic motivations? Or, are your days focused on what intrinsically motivates you? While there is nothing adherently wrong with extrinsic motivations, be conscious of extrinsic overload.

In this episode of Teach4Endurance, we explore the powerful concept of personal destiny and its application in both endurance racing and education. Drawing from my experience as both an Ironman triathlete and educator, I challenge the notion of one-size-fits-all approaches to success. Through some personal anecdotes about defying conventional training wisdom in completing three Ironman races, I create a compelling parallel to the c...
Whether racing, teaching, or simply living . . . it's a mathematical certainty that a change in course will be required at some point. While a simple "one-way" road would be nice and simple; the reality is that we are required to navigate intricate turns, bridges, roadblocks, closures . . . well, that's enough of the metaphors. You get the idea. Be ready for change when the time comes.

In this episode of Teach4Endurance, aptly titled "Follow the Silver Brick Road," let's delve into the notion of finding silver linings amidst life's challenges.

With anecdotes from my own journey as an endurance athlete and educator, I offer insights into cu...
I wasn't sure what direction this episode was going to take. You see, I invited my first guest (Michigan High School Hall of Fame Football Coach, Tony Patritto) to come and share his endurance thoughts with me. Once the episode/interview was over, the word "sincerity" came to my mind. That my friends is what I believe Tony Patritto's answers all entail . . . sincerity and integrity. Enjoy!

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
