Welcome to another edition of ‘Roll On’, wherein we riff on matters of interest across sports, culture, entertainment, and self-betterment. Today’s highlights include a Zoom call with Ironman World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt and his coach Olav Aleksander Bu; a listener question on putting wisdom into practice; and a coaching call check-in with Chris Hauth.
As always, my co-host is Mr. Adam Skolnick, an activist, veteran journalist, and David Goggins’ Can’t Hurt Me co-author. Adam writes about adventure sports, environmental issues, and civil rights for outlets such as The New York Times, Outside, ESPN, BBC, and Men’s Health. He is also the author of One Breath and still uses the ‘new dad’ excuse to avoid working on his novel.
“Be gracious to yourself. Let go of the need to do everything all at once. Focus on improving one thing at a time.”
