Mishka was a super popular guest on the podcast about a month ago.  If you listened to the interview, THE BEAST RETURNS!   Once again, I'm switching gears.  The interviewer becomes the interviewee.  Part II. Mishka was a super popular guest on the podcast about a month ago.  If you listened to the interview, you know we went deep -- exhaustingly deep perhaps.  Despite the fact that I had never previously met Mishka face-to-face, I had a knowing sense that we would hit it off given our many points in common - writing, running, alcoholism & sobriety.  There was an immediate short hand, and we just went straight to the core until we both felt like we were drowning in molten lava when the interview was over. So when my publisher raised the issue of having someone interview me to coincide with the release of the paperback version of Finding Ultra -- hitting bookshelves and online retailers 5/21! -- I knew Mishka more than fit the bill. Osher Günsberg hit the nail on the head with Part I of this self-involved and shameless self-promotional podcast double, and Mishka picks right up with Part II right where Osher left off -- repaying the favor of my unrepentant deep dive with him by hitting me hard with some tough questions as we peel back the layers and get behind the scenes on my book, my story and what drives both of us. OK.  NOW FOR THE (HOPEFULLY NOT TOO) HARD SELL.....  I feel weird asking people to buy the paperback.  I'm sure the majority of you listeners out there have already read my book - you have, right?  RIGHT??  But then again, who knows?  Maybe you haven't.  Maybe you just stumbled upon this blog and podcast out of the blue.  So here is an opportunity to learn a bit more about me, why I wrote the book and what I hoped to express. Oh yeah, there's also this little matter of admitting that I would like to move some units.  Maybe even make the NY Times Bestseller List for Non-Fiction Paperbacks - a list I narrowly missed with the hardcover release.  OK, busted.  Call me shameless.  Call me competitive.  Or, just shoot me.  I am formally apologizing right here and right now.  But hey, wouldn't you do the same if you had spent a couple years writing a book?  So cut me some slack.  I will say that if I do make the list -- an admitted (huge?) longshot, it will be entirely due to YOU -- the audience of this podcast and blog.  And hey, if my book and this podcast stand for anything, it's that we should all dream big.  Making that list is definitely a big dream of mine. Moreover, the truth is, I ain't got no publicist out there shilling for me.  Plus, Random House basically told me they don't have the resources to market and promote the release -- basically no press to get the word out.  So I'm on my own.  But I'm not -- I've got all of you, who have been beyond supportive.  So if you've enjoyed the content I've been freely sharing -- content that takes an obscene amount of my time to create -- and feel inclined to support the message I so passionately believe in, then this is the time I am REALLY ASKING FOR YOUR HELP.   Forget donating, just pull the trigger on the paperback.  Already read the book?  Then get it as a gift for someone -- after all, Father's Day is coming up and you gotta get dear old dad something anyway.  Plus, it's darn cheap - just $13.50 on Amazon.  What the heck, right?  That's like a one cold pressed juice at Whole Foods; and will hopefully be even a bit more nourishing.  Then tell a friend. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.   Enough self-promotion.  Enough!  Everything else aside, I think you will really enjoy my conversation with Mishka - one more brother from another mother.

Today we switch gears a bit.   How? This time the interviewer becomes the interviewee.   Why?   In just a few days (May 21st to be exact), the paperback version of Finding Ultra hits bookstores -- front table placement at Barnes & Noble! -- or so I've been told....I'll believe it when I see it -- and online retailers.  It's quite an honor that I am even getting a paperback release at all, and I want to make the most of the rare opportunity.  On that note, my publisher thought it might be fun to have someone interview me for a change.  Not to ask the same old questions I'm always asked, but to kind of go beyond the typical "Where do you get your protein?" line of inquiry and delve deeper.  I must admit I wasn't to keen on the idea initially.  This podcast isn't really about me, it's about my guests; I'm just the host. Then again, if I could find the right person to do it -- somebody who knows me quite well and has something to really bring to the equation -- then maybe it could be cool. Who? Well I found the right guy.  Not only is Osher Günsberg a good friend, fellow plant-eater, marathon runner / aspiring ultra-runner and all-around cool dude, he's also a professional host.  Those Down Under likely know this swarthy, handome and dynamic gentleman as "Andrew G." -- host of Australian Idol (Australia's version of American Idol) and from an array of other radio and television programs in both Australia and here in the U.S., including the CBS show Live To Dance, which he co-hosted with Paula Abdul.  In addition, he is a proud supporter of the Indigenous Marathon Project, which provides an opportunity for Indigenous men and women of Autralia to run the New York Marathon, which is not only inspiring but helps encourage healthy, active lifestyles. A long way of saying he is total pro.  And in this interview, it shows. Then there is this little matter of how -- in the right light -- we can appear to look somewhat similar.  Don't believe me?  Check the Instagram I posted the other day -- it's over the top; although he is admittedly far more handsome and charming than I.  Dopplegänger Günsberg.  Forgive the phrase -- I know it sounds like everyone's favorite hair band.  I guess I just wanted to write two words in a row with a diaeresis. What For Again? I feel weird asking people to buy the paperback.  I'm sure the majority of you listeners out there have already read my book - you have, right?  RIGHT??  But then again, who knows?  Maybe you haven't.  Maybe you just stumbled upon this blog and podcast out of the blue.  So here is an opportunity to learn a bit more about me, why I wrote the book and what I hoped to express.

Today on the show I welcome nutritionist and dietitian Andy Bellatti MS, RD.  Sure we talk plant-based and other issues related to optimal nutrition (hint: eat REAL FOOD!).   But what makes Andy unique amongst his peers isn't so much his pro-plant bias as it is his passion for calling out the inextricable link between giant food corporations and how we innately come to think and feel about the foods we (often unconsciously choose to) eat.   From congressional legislation to school lunch policy, the food pyramid and what we are actually led to believe we need to live and thrive is in more ways than you would imagine completely dictated by these corporations, their lobbying efforts and Madison Avenue advertising agencies.  What makes Andy different is his courage to take a stand on this issue and his tireless push for positive changes, both systemic and individual.

Today on the podcast we GO DEEP.   In the short lifespan of this show, I've had the honor of interviewing a wide variety of incredible guests -- paradigm busting thought leaders pushing the boundaries of conventional wisdom on a myriad of health & fitness related subject matters. But there is an elephant in the room.  I've been waiting for the right guest to get into the issue closest to my heart -- addiction & recovery. If you read my book you know my story.  But I have been reluctant to use the podcast to discuss in depth the most integral part of my life & struggle.  I suppose I was waiting for the right guest for the job.  Someone equipped to handle this kind of discussion.  Somebody who understands. Well, I found him.  And when I say we go deep, I mean it's intense.  Big love to Mishka for the willingness to be vulnerable; open and considered in his responses.  It takes courage to be so transparent, and he's got it in spades. In many ways, our stories are vastly different.  And yet they are exactly the same.  Alcoholism, struggle, recovery, writing, ultrarunning, redemption.  My long lost brother.  My peer.  My comrade in arms in the battle against the demon that wants both of us -- and untold millions -- drunk, imprisoned, institutionalized, and eventually dead. Disclaimer: If you are stumbling onto this episode merely looking for training/nutrition tips, this interview might not be your cup of tea.  And if so, that's fine.  But I also know for a fact that there are a lot of people out there that will glean insight and inspiration from Mishka's redemptive journey.  All I can say is that I'm really proud of this interview.  And I hope you enjoy it. NOTE: there are a few moments of explicit language in case you are language sensitive. ANOTHER NOTE: The song used to bridge the intro to the interview?

Jonathan took his passion for addressing our nation's heart disease crisis to the next level when he founded HeartView Global, a foundation devoted to two primary goals: To identify heart disease in its latent “clinically silent” phase, thereby allowing asymptomatic but vulnerable individuals to undertake the necessary prophylactic lifestyle modifications and medications to arrest atherosclerosis - and for clinically unrecognized high risk individuals to undergo the necessary coronary interventions that will help prevent the development of heart attacks, stroke, or premature sudden cardiac death; and To encourage a plant-based nutrition diet founded in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, along with some nuts and seeds.  Jonathan is a great guy.  His message is powerful.  Tune in.  And thank me later.

In case you've been living under a rock and have never heard of Macca, I cannot tell you how excited I am to share today's guest -- a man who needs no introduction -- triathlon legend Chris "Macca" McCormack. This interview is PURE GOLD! In case you've been living under a rock and have never heard of Macca, he is one of the winningest triathletes of all time, dominant at all distances from sprint to Ironman.  He is a two-time Ironman World Champion and victor in over 200 triathlon races, including 12 Ironman titles, the 1997 ITU World Cup Series and the 1997 Triathlon World Championships, to name just a few. If you are a fan of Macca, then you've probably heard more than a few of his more outspoken -- but always entertaining -- interviews.  I didn't want to reap an over-plowed field, so I chose to instead focus on aspects of his life less well-known -- how he handles the balance of training and family life; how turning 40 has impacted his always evolving perspective on training and racing; and how he is learning to leverage social media as a service tool to help better communicate with and educate his amateur athlete fan base.  case in point - check out his MX12 Training Videos by clicking HERE. I am super proud of this episode -- Chris could not have been more candid, engaging and fun.  I hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed doing it!

So says today's guest Lewis Howes, and I couldn't agree more. If you are immersed in the online marketing world, you've probably heard of Lewis -- a former professional football player & renown pioneer lifestyle entrepreneur.  But in case you haven't, let me introduce you to his universe. Lewis is a former two-sport All-American (football & decathlon) and current world record holding athlete (most yards received in a single football game), has graced lists such as Details Magazine’s “5 Internet Gurus Who Can Make You Rich” and Incomediary.com’s “50 Most Influential People in Blogging.” Most recently, Lewis was ranked as one of Genjuice.com’s top “100 Most Desirable Mentors” along with the likes of Barack Obama, Russell Simmons and the Queen of Jordan. In just three years, my man went from a depressed and aimless former professional Arena-league football player who's career was cut short due to injury sleeping on his sister’s couch to running a seven figure business. He began his entrepreneurial career by hosting LinkedIn meetups around the country, and co-authoring the successful book LinkedWorking. He has hosted over 400 webinars, spoken to thousands at conferences and events, and educated career professionals and business owners around the world on the power of LinkedIn. Not enough?  He's also a member of the U.S. National Team Handball squad.  He loves CrossFit too.  Don't worry, we get into all of it. Oh yeah, he's also the host of The School of Greatness Podcast, currently blowing up charts on iTunes.  I was honored to be a guest on his show a couple weeks back and am pleased that he joined me for an enlightening and inspiring chat about discovering, unlocking, and unleashing your best, most authentic self - my favorite subject. I hope you dig the show and end up as inspired as I was sitting down with him in person. Enjoying the podcast and want to support the show?
