The Nick Bare Podcast Nick Bare

In today's episode, I share my experience of The Speed Project, one of the toughest, grittiest, and most disruptive races. We gathered six runners who had never worked together before to participate in an unsupported 300-mile relay race through some of the most unforgiving terrains in the country. The course was full of inclines and declines, with thousands of feet of elevation gain and loss through mountains and deserts, and we had to plot our own route with precision and speed. This was an unparalleled experience for me, and I can't wait to share some of the stories that came out of it with you all. Enjoy!

This week's episode comes from our Los Angeles base camp as we prepare for The Speed Project. I welcomed Lucy Haldon, an exceptional hybrid athlete from Manchester, UK, as our guest. In this episode, Lucy and I had a raw and vulnerable conversation about her experience dealing with imposter syndrome after being invited to join our team for The Speed Project. We also discussed the challenging yet rewarding decisions that come with letting go of negative relationships and shared our experiences of overcoming eating disorders. Lucy is a true inspiration to people all over the world, demonstrating what it means to have courage in the face of adversity. Enjoy!

In today's episode, I am breaking down the responsibility of being a leader. We all take on leadership roles in some capacity, and it is our responsibility to learn and grow in these positions. While I wasn't always confident in my leadership abilities, my experiences as a platoon leader in the Rangers and leading BPN for the past 12 years have provided me with invaluable insights and lessons that have shaped my leadership ethos. Tune in to this episode to hear more about my journey and be encouraged on how you can develop into a leader that people are compelled to follow. Enjoy!
