#41-Resolutions & The Endurance Mindset with Jordan Goldstein

2023 is not quite over but 2024 rapidly approaches us and it's already shaping up to be one for the ages. So what to do? We could bury our heads in the sand or freeze in terror, and many are choosing to do just that. Or we could choose to face the future head on. And what better time to think about how to do this than now, as we head into the new year.

To help us reflect on how we might do this Mike invited coach and sports philosopher Jordan B Goldstein onto the show to talk about self transformation. Something which Jordan has been helping people to achieve over the past 2 years, showing them how to become more enduring and self reliant human beings by engaging in endurance sports and voluntary hardship.

Like Mike, Jordan has a love of trail running and taking on physical challenges out in nature as a way of moving closer to self actualization. But coaching wasn't always his path, and before 2020 Jordan was all set for a career in academia. His outspoken approach to the covid tyranny post 2019 lay waste to this however and in part 1 Jordan tells his story of how he stood up for what was right and took the courageous path in his own life, including his involvement in one of the largest free speech scandals in Canadian history long before covid began.

Then in part 2 Mike and Jordan go deeper into the spiritual and psychological transformations they have both experienced as a result of undertaking voluntary challenges out in nature. Mike tells the story of how his own running career came to an end but instilled in him the grit and determination to succeed elsewhere and Jordan explains how each of us can embark on a process of personal transformation by leveraging that which  we have by default, the most beautiful asset on planet earth, the body we were born with.

If you want to move boldly into 2024, with the mindset of endurance...or perhaps you're making your New Years resolutions as we speak - if so, this is the episode for you.
