    Slow Down to Speed Up - Don McLaughlin - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #164

    Today's guest is a founder, executive coach, and exit strategist who rebuilt from burnout to a 12X business exit and now helps other founders do the same. Introducing Don McLaughlin, founder and CEO of Aligned Ascent. Don joins host Greg McDonough to explore how running ultra endurance races in the mountains shaped his leadership philosophy, what it truly takes to prepare a business for a premium exit, and how his Inside Out Performance System helps founders align personal performance with sustainable business growth. He also opens up about his rock bottom moment in 2012, the journey from operator to owner, and why the most transformational business growth starts from the inside out. Don emphasizes that endurance training and business leadership both demand clarity, presence, and resilience, and that the most meaningful results come when a founder builds a self managing team and steps into the role of steward rather than operator. Takeaways: Endurance events develop three foundational leadership qualities: clarity, presence, and resilience.Embracing prolonged discomfort in training raises your capacity to handle difficult business conversations and high conflict situations with composure.Exit planning should begin years before you think it should, ideally well before any buyer conversation starts.Buyers are purchasing a future stream of cash flow, so your business must demonstrate a clear vision, systematized processes, and a strong independent leadership team.Transitioning from operator to steward of your business is what unlocks both enterprise value and personal freedom.

    Consistency Wins in the Long Run - Brent Peterson - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #163

    Today’s guest is incredibly insightful and action-oriented! Introducing Brent Peterson, CEO of Content Cucumber and host of Talk Commerce. Brent partners with host Gregory McDonough to explore the deep parallels between endurance sports and entrepreneurship. He also delves into how pacing, planning, and consistency shape both marathon performance and business success, and why human creativity still matters in an AI-driven world. Takeaways: Brent breaks down how endurance sports and business are governed by the same core principle: structure creates success. Whether pacing a marathon or managing a company, starting too fast or without a plan leads to burnout, while disciplined pacing leads to sustainable outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of preparation, adaptability, and having a backup plan when conditions change unexpectedly.He also highlights consistency as the true differentiator in both content creation and entrepreneurship. Success does not come from short bursts of effort but from showing up repeatedly over time, whether that’s running streaks, weekly podcasts, or disciplined marketing execution. Brent reinforces that stopping and starting repeatedly prevents meaningful progress.Finally, Brent discusses the role of AI in modern content creation and warns against over-reliance on it. While AI is a powerful tool for efficiency and ideation, it often produces generic output without human oversight. He stresses that human voice, editing, and originality remain essential for standing out in an increasingly automated world.

    Think Bigger - Robert Clinkenbeard - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #163

    Today’s guest is a visionary growth strategist who challenges business owners to think bigger, lead better, and push beyond perceived limits. Introducing Robert Clinkenbeard, CEO of Wilson360. Robert partners with host Greg McDonough to share how endurance training, strategic coaching, and incremental improvements can help leaders scale businesses, build high-performing teams, and unlock untapped potential. He also delves into the importance of accountability, surrounding yourself with A-players, and why leaders must think beyond small, incremental growth goals to create transformational results. Robert emphasizes that sustainable growth comes from consistent incremental improvements, clear strategy, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to perform at a higher level. Takeaways: Think beyond incremental growth and challenge yourself to envision transformational outcomes.Break ambitious goals into smaller, measurable milestones that teams can rally around.Build a team of A-players who elevate conversations, decision-making, and execution.Small operational and cultural improvements compound significantly over time.Accountability is essential, growth requires leaders to make difficult decisions.Strong coaches and mentors should have real-world experience and a proven track record.Peer groups create honest feedback loops that help uncover blind spots faster.Leaders should intentionally plan for life after business ownership, not just the exit itself.Endurance sports and business leadership both require resilience, discipline, and long-term thinking.Great organizations align vision, strategy, and people around a shared purpose.

  5. From Corporate Leader to Endurance Coach - Ashley McCabe - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #160

    From Corporate Leader to Endurance Coach - Ashley McCabe - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #160

    How does an endurance mindset shape leadership, problem-solving, and performance in both sport and business? Today’s guest is a seasoned endurance athlete and former corporate executive who has built her leadership philosophy through sport. Introducing Ashley McCabe, Founder of Bluebird Multisport. Ashley partners with host Gregory McDonough to share how endurance sports shaped her identity as a leader and how those same principles now guide her coaching business. She also delves into problem-solving under pressure, balancing demanding careers with endurance goals, and how leaders can model behaviors like work-life balance and time management in a way that truly resonates with their teams. Takeaways: • Endurance builds real problem-solving skills. Ashley explains that endurance racing teaches you how to respond when things inevitably go wrong, and that same ability translated directly into her leadership style in corporate environments. • Leadership is about modeling behavior, not just saying it. She emphasizes that it’s not enough to encourage work-life balance, leaders must demonstrate it themselves to make it truly acceptable within a team. • Confidence comes from overcoming challenges repeatedly. Through years of racing, Ashley built trust in her ability to handle problems, which became a defining trait in how she led teams and approached complex situations. • Missed workouts should not be forced back in. She shares that trying to cram missed training into an already busy schedule often backfires, and it’s better to reset and move forward. • Recovery starts before the workout. Ashley highlights a shift in mindset, focusing on preparation and pre-session habits is just as important as post-workout recovery. • Structure and time blocking drive consistency. She reinforces that if time isn’t intentionally set aside for training (or important work), it likely won’t happen. • Coaching must adapt to real-life demands. Her “white glove” coaching approach focuses on removing barriers for busy professionals so they can realistically pursue endurance goals alongside demanding careers. Quote of the Show: "It’s not a question of if something is gonna go wrong on race day, right? It’s a question of what’s gonna go wrong, when is it gonna go wrong, and then most importantly, how do I react to what is going wrong?" - Ashley McCabe Links: Ashley’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-mccabe-83446612/Bluebird’s Website: www.bluebirdmultisport.comInstagram: @bluebirdmultisport @tri_ashley_mc Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/  Keep up to date on our social accounts: Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual  Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

    From the Pool to the Pitch - James Tillman - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #159

    Can an endurance mindset built in the pool at age five fuel a clean energy revolution decades later? Today's guest is a visionary entrepreneur at the forefront of clean energy innovation! Introducing James Tillman, CEO and Co-Founder of EVlogic. James partners with host Gregory McDonough to share how more than 16 years in the electric vehicle infrastructure industry shaped his approach to sales, leadership, and building a business with staying power. He also delves into how the endurance mindset he developed as a competitive swimmer translates directly into navigating complex enterprise sales cycles, and how learning to fail fast became just as important as going the distance. Takeaways: James's career arc from the City of Houston to NRG's EV startup to founding EVlogic gave him a layered understanding of how large organizations, startups, and small businesses each require a fundamentally different pace and mindset.His background as a competitive swimmer training 20+ hours a week shaped his approach to enterprise sales, where multimillion-dollar deals can take a year or two to close and require strategic patience and disciplined relationship-building.One of James's most actionable lessons is learning to fail early and fail fast. At his previous company, four out of ten deals he pursued to the bitter end were ultimately canceled, consuming seven to ten months and hundreds of labor hours for nothing.In complex enterprise sales, identifying everyone who can say no is just as critical as finding who can say yes. Missing a key stakeholder late in a deal can delay the close by months and restart the entire sales cycle.James founded EVlogic after recognizing that projects were taking four months and 160+ labor hours from creation to award. His AI-enabled platform handles design, engineering, and pricing of EV charging sites in real time, eliminating the costly two-to-three-week redesign cycles that used to follow every customer change request.James lives by the hiring philosophy "hire hard, manage easy": find someone with the right skillset, relevant experience, and the personality to weather the hard days alongside you, then share the vision and trust them to execute.The US currently has one public charging port for every 30 EVs, compared to one-to-nine in Europe and one-to-two in China. With charging utilization economics already working and deployment growing 30% year over year, James sees a massive and still largely unbuilt market ahead.Quote of the Show: "Everybody kind of sees in business the overnight success and they don't really see the 10 or 14 years, however many years you put into it before you get to that success." - James Tillman Links: James’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jatillmaniv/EVlogic’s Website: https://evlogic.ai/jtillman@evlogic.ai  Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/  Keep up to date on our social accounts: Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual  Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

    Is It Worth the Price? - Mason Duchatschek - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #158

    How do you decide what’s truly worth pursuing when you know you’re capable of almost anything? Today’s guest is a driven and insightful leader who blends endurance mindset with business strategy. Introducing Mason Duchatschek, CEO of Workforce Alchemy. Mason joins host Gregory McDonough to share how shifting from “can I do this?” to “should I do this?” fundamentally changes how leaders make decisions and pursue growth. He dives into how endurance mindset shapes leadership, why surrounding yourself with the right people accelerates performance, and how businesses can unlock hidden value by improving hiring, engagement, and development systems. Mason also shares lessons from endurance sports, emphasizing discipline, discomfort tolerance, and the importance of structure, process, and accountability in both athletics and business. Takeaways: Shift from “can” to “should” thinking. Mason explains that success comes from assuming capability and instead evaluating whether the outcome is worth the required investment of time, energy, and resources.Success requires paying a clear price. Every goal comes with trade-offs. Leaders must decide what they are willing to give up, including time, comfort, and competing priorities, to achieve meaningful outcomes.Growth comes from sustained discomfort. He emphasizes that endurance and business success both require the ability to stay uncomfortable for extended periods while continuing to move forward.Your environment shapes your performance. Mason highlights that surrounding yourself with high-performing, like-minded individuals accelerates growth and reinforces discipline.The right people drive exponential business value. Investing in hiring, training, and systems can dramatically increase employee output, turning average performance into exceptional results.Poor hiring and disengagement create hidden losses. He explains that underperforming employees and disengagement can quietly cost businesses significant amounts over time.Accountability works best peer-to-peer. Mason contrasts top-down management with “side-to-side accountability,” where teams hold each other to standards and drive performance collectively.  Quote of the Show: "My focus on life shifted to not, can I do this, but should I." - Mason Duchatschek Links: Mason Duchatschek’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/masonduchatschek/Workforce Alchemy’s Website: WorkforceAlchemy.comhttps://masonduchatschek.com/ Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/  Keep up to date on our social accounts: Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

  8. Train Smarter with Glucose Data - Hunter Allen - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #157

    Train Smarter with Glucose Data - Hunter Allen - Chief Endurance Officer with Greg McDonough - Episode #157

    How can managing your glucose levels unlock better performance, energy, and long-term health? Today’s guest is a pioneering endurance coach and data-driven performance expert. Introducing Hunter Allen, Founder of Peaks Coaching Group. Hunter partners with host Gregory McDonough to share how continuous glucose monitoring is transforming the way athletes train, perform, and think about longevity. He also delves into how glucose stability impacts energy, recovery, and long-term health outcomes. Takeaways: • Glucose is a primary driver of performance and energy Hunter explains that glucose is a key fuel source for the body, powering cellular energy production and directly impacting how muscles perform during training and racing. • Unstable glucose leads to performance crashes He describes how athletes often create a “rollercoaster” of energy by overcorrecting low glucose with excess intake, leading to repeated spikes and crashes instead of steady performance. • Priming glucose before effort improves output Hunter highlights that there is a delay in glucose availability at the start of intense efforts, and properly fueling beforehand can prevent early deficits in performance. • Athletes respond differently to glucose timing He breaks down how individuals absorb glucose at different rates, requiring personalized timing strategies to optimize performance before events or hard training sessions. • Continuous glucose monitors unlock new training insights CGMs allow athletes and coaches to track real-time data, helping them understand how fueling, stress, and effort impact performance in ways that were not previously possible. • Longevity depends on metabolic health Hunter emphasizes that managing glucose is not just about performance, but about protecting long-term health, particularly by reducing stress on the pancreas and preventing metabolic disease.  Quote of the Show: "A real simple takeaway is just get rid of as much saturated fat outta your diet as you can." - Hunter Allen Links: Hunter Allen’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hunter-allen-9b2996a/Peak Coaching Group’s Website: http://www.peakscoachinggroup.com/peaks-coaching-group-tour-de-france-ftp-challengeBook:  trainingandcompetingwithacgm.comWays to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/  Keep up to date on our social accounts: Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.
