From training disasters to podium finishes, hear how Olympians turn setbacks into triumphs, and how you can too.

The real path to gold! Listen as Olympians discuss their toughest battles and greatest wins.

What if the secret to Olympic-level success could be yours? Spoiler alert: it’s not just about talent or training. 

Dive into the latest episode of "Success for the Athletic-Minded Man" podcast and discover the untold stories and mindsets of Olympic legends that can transform your life.

For part two of our special 2024 Olympics episode, we revisit incredible interviews with a new set of Olympians I’ve interviewed in the past who have shared life-changing encounters with mentors, leveraged failure for monumental success, and redefined their identities after significant life changes. 

You'll hear from legends like Lindsay Shoop, an Olympic gold medalist rower; Matt Lindland, an Olympic silver medalist wrestler; Leah Amico, a 3x Olympic gold medalist softball player; Devon Harris, captain of the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team; Cameron Myler, an Olympic luge athlete; John Register, a Paralympic silver medalist; and Helen Maroulis, the first-ever female Olympic gold medalist wrestler for the US. 

Each of these athletes brings unique insights that can help you harness your athletic drive for clarity, focus, and consistency in both business and life. Their experiences will not only motivate you but also provide actionable strategies for your own success.

What will you start, stop, or continue doing after hearing these powerful stories? The path to success starts here. Let's get started!
