Why We Tri | Endurance Sports Podcast for All Levels Caroline Gardner

EP 63. Why We Tri x Mack Cycle Ambassador Manager Diego Ferradas
Beginner. Rookie. Newbie.
Do you remember how you felt when you stepped into these roles in life? How did you feel when you signed up for your first triathlon or marathon? How did you feel when you went to your first training session and met a triathlon team? What was your perception of your Coach and team members? Better yet, what was your perception of yourself?
In tonight's episode, Diego Ferradas shares how his curiosity about cycling while supporting a coast-to-coast cycling fundraising event with a non-profit organization called The Ability Experience led him to Mack Cycle. Diego's ability to bring people together by encouraging them to keep reigniting their curiosity in trying new things no matter their age, ability, level of experience, or financial situation is one of the many reasons Diego makes a great leader as Mack Cycle's Ambassador Program Manager.

EP 62. Why We Tri x Mack Cyclist Adam Ciperski

Welcome to the 3rd episode in our 6-Part #MackCycle Mini-Series!
Tonight we are here w/worldwide customer success leader of ThoughtSpot, husband, father of two, and Multiple Ironman finisher: Adam Ciperski!

This hard-working husband and father of two shares w/ us his #WHY in his early morning #tritraining. 
Adam’s introduction to triathlon came from a need to find a healthier lifestyle. After donating one of his kidneys to his brother, Zach Ciperski, years prior, he needed a noncontact sport where he could have fun and compete. Triathlon was a match!
This episode hits home for me, as my dad had kidney disease, then kidney failure, and was later a kidney transplant recipient. Listen to Adam as he shares w/ us the #rippleeffect of how his brother lived out his days and how that has played a role in Adam’s relationship w/ his children and supportive wife, Carla. 
Give the gift of sharing Adam’s inspiring story with others by sharing this episode w/ family and friends. Also, listen for the #secretphrase and follow the #GIVEAWAY instructions to win your Loyal Listeners WWT Gratitude Box of goodies!
