    From Fearful to Badass w/ Margie Goldsmith

    What if endurance isn’t about pushing harder, but about continuing to evolve over a lifetime? In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor sits down with Margie Goldsmith, an award-winning travel writer, bestselling author, and lifelong adventurer who proves that it’s never too late to redefine what’s possible. At 82 years old, Margie is still training, traveling, and pursuing challenges. She’s visited over 150 countries across seven continents, completed marathons and Olympic-distance triathlons, summited Mount Rainier, and reached advanced base camp on the north face of Mount Everest. But her story goes far beyond the surface of those accomplishments. In this conversation, Margie shares her journey from a place of fear and limitation to a life built on courage, curiosity, and continuous growth. She reflects on how experiences like Outward Bound helped reshape her identity, how physical challenges became a pathway to confidence, and what it means to live life on your own terms. Together they explore: • The transformation from fear to confidence through action • How physical challenge can reshape identity at any stage of life • Why aging doesn’t define what’s possible • The role of adversity in building perspective and resilience • What it means to truly live a full and intentional life This episode is a powerful reminder that endurance isn’t limited to a single season. Margie’s newest book is “Becoming a Badass: From Fearful to Fierce.” To get the support your health and fitness business deserves, click the link to find out how you can be a part of the Growth Circle community. https://www.impactinitiative.network/services/growth-circle Free weekly guidance, insight, and tools for health and fitness entrepreneurs: The Business of Coaching - https://taylor75.substack.com/

    The Hidden Cost of Always Being “On”

    Many high performers don’t know how to slow down — not because they lack discipline, but because their nervous system no longer trusts safety. In this solo episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor explores the hidden cost of constant activation, the difference between ambition and hyper-vigilance, and why so many driven people struggle to disengage even when they desperately need rest. This conversation dives into emotional endurance, sustainable performance, nervous system regulation, and the subtle ways achievement can become identity, protection, and avoidance all at once. If you’ve ever felt exhausted despite doing everything “right,” this episode will challenge the way you think about performance, recovery, and what it actually means to endure.

    Hunger for More: What Extreme Endurance Teaches About Identity, Purpose, and Human Limits w/ JD Tremblay

    What drives someone to keep going when every part of their body is telling them to stop? In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor sits down with JD Tremblay to explore the mindset behind some of the most demanding endurance challenges in the world and the deeper lessons they reveal about identity, resilience, and purpose. JD is an ultra-endurance athlete, entrepreneur, and the creator of Hunger4More, a movement centered around pushing beyond perceived limits and developing the mental toughness required to pursue meaningful goals. He’s also completed events like the EpicDeca, one of the most grueling races on the planet, requiring athletes to complete ten Ironman-distance triathlons over ten consecutive days. But this conversation goes far beyond racing. Taylor and JD dive into the psychology of extreme endurance, what really happens in the mind when fatigue and doubt begin to take over, and why the hardest moments in endurance sports often mirror the challenges we face in business, leadership, and life. Together they explore: • What the EpicDeca reveals about human limits • How the mind negotiates with pain and fatigue • The difference between ambition and true purpose • Why adversity often reveals identity rather than builds it • How cultivating a “hunger for more” can reshape the way we pursue growth Access JD’s ENDURE Framework HERE.

    Less Discipline, Better Defaults

    Most people think they need more discipline. They don’t. They need better defaults. In this solo episode, Taylor breaks down why discipline is unreliable under pressure and why your real performance is determined by what you do when you’re tired, stressed, and overwhelmed. The truth is, you don’t rise to your goals… you fall to your defaults. Taylor walks you through how to identify where your current defaults are holding you back, and how to rebuild them so you can stay consistent in your training, your business, and your life, especially when things aren’t perfect. Because the version of you on your hardest days? That’s the one that determines your results.

    Building Strength, Community, and Long-Term Fitness w/ Chris Ryan

    The Hidden Layers of Endurance

    We talk a lot about endurance as the ability to push harder, go longer, and withstand more. But what if that’s not what actually determines whether you succeed? In this solo episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor breaks down a deeper perspective on endurance, one that goes beyond physical effort and into the patterns that shape long-term growth in business, fitness, leadership, and life. This episode introduces a simple but powerful framework: the three layers of endurance. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why endurance is more about staying than pushing • The three layers that determine long-term success • What causes people to lose momentum (even when they’re capable) • How to build consistency without relying on motivation • Why identity, not goals, is the foundation of real endurance To get the support your health and fitness business deserves, click the link to find out how you can be a part of the Growth Circle community. https://www.impactinitiative.network/services/growth-circle Free weekly guidance, insight, and tools for health and fitness entrepreneurs: The Business of Coaching - https://taylor75.substack.com/
