#10 - Resilience with Ultra-Endurance Athlete Charlie Engle

Charlie Engle is a global ultra-endurance athlete and founder of the 5.8 Global Adventure Series, one of the most ambitious expeditions in modern history, trekking from the lowest to the highest points on all seven continents. He is also one of the most accomplished ultramarathon runners in the world, completing hundreds of races around the world. His incredible determination and athletic ability was profiled in the film, Running the Sahara, produced and narrated by Matt Damon.  The documentary highlighted his historic, record-setting journey across the world’s largest desert, running nearly two marathons a day for 111 consecutive days, for a total of more than 4,500 miles. Charlie’s transcontinental run through deep sand and politically unstable countries remains one of the premier accomplishments in the ultra-endurance and adventure sports worlds. After crossing the Sahara and seeing the global water crisis firsthand, Charlie teamed up with Matt Damon to raise $6M and create H20 Africa, which later became the global humanitarian organization, Water.org.

 

Charlie’s memoir, Running Man, (Simon & Schuster) became a bestseller shortly after it was published in 2016.  While the book details his inspiring life story, it’s about more than just running. It’s about facing demons, overcoming impossible odds, keeping your sense of humor, and discovering the redemptive power of putting one foot in front of the other, even when you feel like you can’t keep going.  His motivation to run and tackle extreme adventures stems from his battle with addiction to drugs and alcohol. Charlie has been in recovery since July 23, 1992, and he credits a large part of his recovery to the purposeful devotion and emotional release he experiences while running. He was also helped by thousands of recovery meetings and other traditional therapies. Charlie practices yoga and meditation, therapeutic breath work, and uses other cutting edge treatments like cryotherapy, infrared therapy and hyperbaric therapy to stay sharp and healthy. He’s also been a plant based athlete for over 20 years.

Charlie is a dynamic speaker who has enthralled audiences around the world, from keynotes at the Boston Marathon and Google to the National Geographic Society, NATO, the United Nations and the deck of a nuclear-class U.S. Naval aircraft carrier.   He is also a featured presenter on Tony Robbins' Power of Success Tour.  He’s been featured in the New York Times, National Geographic Weekend, Outside, Runner’s World, NPR’s All Things Considered, Men’s Journal, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, as well as numerous podcasts and books.

#4 - Truth - Is it Objective or Subjective?

In this episode I try to address the difficult topic of truth by separating truths into objective and subjective truths.  This was a challenge but I hope that it sparks conversation as to how to live in a world where we are all responsible for what we believe to be truth.

#2 - The Human Brain

The Human Brain

In order to understand ourselves, it helps to understand details about our brain.  Our brain is a marvel and we know so much more about it than we did a few decades ago.  This episode is a bit longer than I wanted (22 mins), but given the complexity of the subject, I thought it was warranted.  

Here are my sources
