Lindsey Vonn on Finding Purpose in the Face of Adversity Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode of the Keep Going Podcast, we sit down with Lindsey Vonn, who you might know as one of the most mentally tough skiers and athletes to ever perform on the big stage.

Born in Minnesota in 1984, Lindsey started skiing at age 7, but it wasn't until she found her love for speed that she became the racing sensation we all know today. And it didn't take long for her to start winning – and winning big – Lindsey snagged her first of four World Cup overall championships in 2008.

With 82 wins at her retirement in 2019, she was the all-time leader in women's World Cup race victories. She also won three Olympic Winter Games medals and eight world championships medals. As Lindsey says, once she started winning, her only goal was to win more often and do it faster.

A true competitor, Lindsey left it all on the slopes – her career was cut short due to the many injuries she suffered from her aggressive racing style. Now, a few years into retirement, she is only limited by the things she wants to do – and she is keeping busy – starting a production company and leading the charge at the Lindsey Vonn Foundation.

We enjoyed sitting down with Lindsey and learning more about what motivates her to keep going – let's go!

Chris Carmichael on Mastering the Mental Side of Training and Coaching the Best in the World Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode of the Keep Going Podcast, we speak with Chris Carmichael, a former professional cyclist and the founder and CEO of Carmichael Training Systems.

Cycling influenced Chris in many ways over the years, learning skills as a young kid biking around Florida that influenced his career and prepared him to become a renowned coach down the line. Chris himself was a member of the 1984 US Olympic Team and part of the first American team (7-Eleven) to race the Tour de France in 1986.

After suffering a career ending injury while skiing, Chris channeled his passion for cycling into becoming a successful coach and entrepreneur, founding Carmichael Training Systems in 2000, making world-class coaching accessible to athletes of all ability levels. Through Chris's leadership, CTS immediately established itself as the premier destination for personal fitness, nutrition, and life coaching; a leadership position the company has held throughout its 20-year history.

Venus Williams on The Fight for Equal Pay and Her Privilege Tax Initiative Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

Our guest on this very special episode of the Keep Going Podcast is Venus Williams! Venus is one of the all-time greats of women's tennis, having spent years atop the world rankings while ushering a new era of power and athleticism into the women's game.

Not only is Venus an incredibly accomplished athlete, she is also a successful business woman and has done so much to be a strong advocate for women over the years.

Throughout the month of March, in celebration of International Women's Day and Women's History Month, Venus has launched an awareness initiative to spotlight the wage inequality issue, and unveiled a platform of resources for corporations and employees to address the matter on a grassroots level.

Women make 81 cents to the $1 that men earn on average, so Venus will be working to fill in the gap this March by implementing a #PrivilegeTax on her lifestyle brand EleVen by Venus' website by including an option at checkout to opt to donate 19 cents for every purchase made. Here at TB12, we are joining her in the fight to close the gender pay gap by implementing the #PrivilegeTax on our own website and donating 19 cents from every purchase to Girls Inc. of Greater Los Angeles, a charity committed to inspiring girls to be strong, smart, and bold.

We hope you enjoy this short but impactful discussion with the incredible Venus Williams. Let's Go!

Cameron Hanes on Finding Growth Outside of Comfort and Mastering His Craft Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Our guest on today's episode is Cam Hanes, one of the toughest elite athletes you'll ever meet. Not only is he known for being America's greatest extreme bowhunter and Under Armour's longest sponsored athlete, but also for his dedicated training regimen that prepares him for his backcountry bowhunts.

Cam is singularly focused on being the best bowhunter in the world, and has built an incomparable training regimen around that goal – he shoots his bow every single day of the year, trains in the weight room 7-days a week, and runs 100-mile ultra marathons in the mountains during the off-season to keep himself prepared for anything he may face during a hunt.

In this thrilling conversation, Cam talks about:

Being alone in the wilderness
Running a marathon every day
Finding growth outside of comfort
Honing his craft through consistency
Living in the present

Show notes

On today's episode, we sit down with Angela Duckworth, the founder and CEO of Character Lab, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, a #1 New York Times best seller.

Angela has an amazing story, and one we can all relate to as we pursue our own individual versions of success. Angela left a stressful job in management consulting at just 27 years old to pursue teaching and eventually enroll in graduate school to become a psychologist.

This conversation is centered around grit – a characteristic of successful people that Angela has dedicated years of research to in an effort to better understand what truly drives successful people to be great. A few of the topics we covered include how to delay gratification & control your impulses, how gritty people handle failure, the "I'll show you" effect, and where perseverance truly comes from.

This was hands down one of our favorite episodes to date, and we think you'll all find Angela's insights to be easy to digest and applicable no matter what your lifestyle looks like. We hope you all enjoy this conversation with Angela Duckworth. Let's go!

George Hincapie on His Path to Unparalleled Longevity in Cycling Feb 23, 2021

Show notes

Our guest on today's episode is George Hincapie – one of the most recognized cyclists in the world, with numerous world championships, national championships, and professional victories to his credit.

George began racing as a young boy in Queens, New York, when his father introduced him to the sport. He competed a record 17 times in the Tour de France, raced in five Olympic Games, and won three U.S. National Road Race championships – unparalleled longevity in the sport of cycling.

He notably served as the "domestique" on many of his Tour de France teams – a position that is often recognized as the ultimate team role in cycling. George sacrificed personal glory and success for that of his team and teammates, and it's fascinating to hear him talk about his experience on the team side of an individual sport like cycling.

Though he retired from cycling in 2012, Hincapie has found sustained success in the business world – most notably as the co-founder of Hincapie Sportswear and the Hotel Domestique. His story is a fascinating look at the grueling world of cycling and what it truly takes to achieve longevity.

Show notes

Our guest for today's episode is Dr. David Sinclair. David is a long time friend of TB12 and a tenured Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. His book, Lifespan, which we sell at our Performance & Recovery Centers, became a NY Times Bestseller in 2019. While David is best known for his work on genes that delay and reverse aging, he has also published over 200 scientific papers and has co-founded a variety of biotechnology companies in the areas of metabolic diseases, inflammation, infectious disease detection, and more.

What we appreciate most in our conversations with David is his unique ability to simplify these complex concepts in a way that's easy for everyone to understand. In our discussion today, we focus on the types of food David believes we should all be eating, how to time your food intake to minimize the stress it puts on your body, and the importance of sleep and the circadian rhythm – something we focus on with all of our clients at TB12.
