Triathlon World Champion - Tim O'Donnell Aug 14, 2021

Show notes

On this episode we welcome in a man who is no stranger to competing for the long haul as Tim O'Donnell joins us to discuss his illustrious Ironman career including his 2009 ITU World Championship and many more stories over his long career at the top of the sport.

What would seem like such an overwhelming task to just about any regular person on planet earth, Tim has managed to make a career out of performing for enormous periods of time thanks to his investment in optimal preparation, ability to trust himself during competition, and by allowing his process to evolve over time.

We cannot always control the outcome and sometimes the events leading up to times of performance, but Tim walks us through some personal accounts of how he has managed to optimize opportunities to compete through his ability to "prepare best you can with cards you're dealt"

You can check out Tim and his wife, Rinny youtube page at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-x04aB8xON4crkdN0-FMhw and as always let us know your thoughts on the episode at careercompetitorpodcast@gmail.com

Open Water World Champion - Jordan Wilimovsky Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

With the Tokyo Games happening at the moment I thought it would be great to bring on someone who recently competed over there and what a great guy I was able to grab a hold of in Team USA open water specialist, Jordan Wilimovsky.

Within the conversation we discuss in detail the art of "enduring", not in the obvious sense of Jordan's incredible physical endurance, but more in the mental sense of what it takes to not become distracted from the goals at hand. Whether you are someone that is use to long days in the office, working on projects for weeks at time, or someone that just struggles with long-term commitments, Jordan sheds some great insight on how to approach a task and conquer it through an ability to endure.

Ultra-Distance Open Water Swimmer - Sarah Thomas Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

For our 100th Episode we welcome in an incredible story in that of Sarah Thomas who back in 2019 swam the English 4-times in 1 continuous effort! Her 54 hour swim is the longest single swim ever recorded in English Channel swimming history and makes her effort one of the most superhuman attempts ever recorded.

Sarah is a recruiter in her day job but her ultimate passion in life in optimizing her hardworking approach to swimming by taking on ultra-distance open water swims. Her core belief system is based upon being the best version of herself each and every day, while finding other fantastic humans in the world and working to bring them together. The swimming world has allowed her to do that many times over, but the competitor within her is still not fully satisfied with her recording swimming attempts; she is still hungry for more!

Sarah presents some amazing perspective on what is sometimes required to see something through to the end, the need to make time for the things that make you happiest, and the reason we should all be grateful to simply have the opportunities to compete in life.

Nutritionist for the Denver Broncos - Brett Eisen Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

Welcome in for a fun conversation with a guy that truly works in an area he was born to do so as I sit down with Denver Broncos nutritionist, Brett Eisen. Once he knew where his greatest passion for a career lay, Brett wasted no time establishing the path he would need to go down, not just to get into the world of nutrition, but to do so in his own unique way.

We get to learn all about Brett's ability to connect and inspire athletes to fuel their bodies the right way in order to reach those extra levels of performance in what they do out on the field. Furthermore, Brett has made a career of identifying gaps within his profession and taking initiative to improve either his own knowledge, or the experiences of those being effected by his work.

This episode is not only filled with the typical great teaching points that we are accustomed to providing here, but you will also pick up some terrific nutrition advice courtesy of a guy that knows a thing or two about getting the best out of the human body.

Sports Radio Host - Zach Bye May 21, 2021

Show notes

On this episode we welcome in a true competitor of the media world in radio personality, Zach Bye as he shares his story of grinding his way to his dream role of hosting an afternoon sports radio show in the large market of Denver, Colorado.

Along with former NFL & Denver Bronco star, Brendon Stokley, Zach is the host of Denver's biggest sports radio show "Stokley & Zach" and has built a career on the ideals of hard work, initiative, and resilience, with many other key attributes sprinkled in along the way.

Zach delivers some concepts that will force you the listener to ask yourself just how hard - and how long - you are willing to work for the dream role you claim to be so desperate to hold. After all, it was only right at the tail end of a 10-year plan when Zach got the break he worked so tirelessly for.

The conversation includes; appreciating the impact that initiative can have on gaining opportunities; the power of patience when staying true to your long term career plans; and embracing an honest perspective when it comes to your long term career chances

I encourage you to go to denverfan.com to listen in to an edition of Zach's radio show to learn firsthand why it is this guy has gotten to where he is today. Also be sure to reach out to me at careercompetitorpodcast@gmail.com with thoughts you have on the episode

7-Time Olympic Medalist - Amanda Beard May 14, 2021

Show notes

Amanda Beard, one of the greatest American women to have ever graced a swimming pool joins the show to discuss her career including a meteoric rise to stardom as a 14 year old Olympic medalist back in 1996, to how she handled the highs of further Olympic journeys as well as the ensuing lows that followed once journeys came to an end.

We hear about the role Amanda is now playing as the owner of a Swim School (Beardswimco.com) and the mother of 2 budding athletes on somewhat similar paths to the one she was on 25 years ago.

A significant topic that came from the discussion includes that of balancing passions in life to where we can have more facets to our identity so we are not guilty of putting all our focus on one thing that consumes our entire being. Amanda is a huge advocate for, firstly, prioritizing a balance of priorities in life, while also making sure we find ways to switch off from commitments we may have that consume a lot of our energy already.

You can learn everything you need to about Amanda's story at amandabeardofficial.com and be sure to check out some more details regarding the episode on instagram at career_competitor.

A delicious dose of insightful conversation being served in this episode as we welcome successful health & fitness professional, Ashley Drummonds who a few years ago founded ABS Protein Pancakes that has since launched her to great success and new career highs.

These trials are areas that all competitors encounter within their careers that don't get discussed enough, but Ashley is kind enough to really open our eyes to the ways we must be both aware and willing to encounter such adversities.

We hear all about Ashley's career journey, the ways in which she has been willing to search for guidance and help, her perspective on how best to handle our fears, and the ways in which she competes and defines success within her day.
