  • Ever wondered how the roar of a crowd or a cheerleader's chant could coax your weary legs across a marathon finish line? I'm living proof of that force, powered through the London Marathon by the electrifying support from Macmillan and St John Ambulance's cheering squads. This episode is a testament to the incredible strength we find in the kindness of strangers and the shared human spirit that propels us forward. My co-host Valerio, whom I fondly call the accidental half-marathoner, chimes in with his own tale of transition from Peloton pedals to pavement pounding—sparked by a fortuitous discussion at an Indian wedding no less!

    Lacing up their running shoes, Valerio and I guide you through the intricate dance of discipline and resilience, both of which crisscross the paths of marathon running and entrepreneurship. While I recount the myriad of challenges faced during marathon training—from injury management to the psychological warfare on race day—Valerio reflects on his own journey of habit formation and the surprising allure (and expenses!) of running. It's a conversation that goes beyond the miles, touching on the parallels between the grueling and often solitary miles of marathon prep and the equally relentless journey of building a business from the ground up.

    We wrap up the episode with a deeper look at the power of discipline. Valerio shares an inspiring story about facing and overcoming the hurdles thrown our way, whether it’s the financial pinch of running gear or the unexpected extra mile that tests our mental fortitude. Our dialogues weave through personal anecdotes and advice, offering a blend of laughter, encouragement, and raw insight into the transformative journey of marathon running and the relentless pursuit of one's passions. So hit play and join us on this marathon of an episode—because whether you're running a race or chasing a dream, it's the discipline that takes you across the finish line.

  • Have you ever found yourself justifying a concerning behavior in a partner or a business deal, only to later realize it was a massive red flag? That's exactly what we tackle in our latest episode, where we dissect the emotional biases that often blind us to warning signs in our relationships and business ventures.
