108. Running 5 Marathons in 5 Consecutive Days... in 5 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! w/Dave Grange
What's the craziest challenge you've ever subjected yourself to?
Many of us have put our skills and resolve to the test through various physical, mental, psychological - even spiritual - challenges. But I'd be willing to be that most our our greatest challenges pale in comparison to the Misogi that my guest on today's show completed!
Dave Grange is quite possibly the only person on the planet to complete a 5-5-5 challenge: he ran 5 marathons, in 5 consecutive days ... in 5 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! (Let that sink in).
Yes, in August of 2023, Dave set out to successfully run 5 trail marathons as he traversed through the alps of Switzerland, the Dolomites of Italy, France, Austria and Slovenia. His entire excursion was self-supported, meaning he spent his own money, rented a car that he slept/lived out of, navigated the entire journey himself - in spite of language barriers - and was completely alone with no team to help, guide or encourage him!
Through his coaching company, Live Stellar, Dave coaches clients to maximize their mindset and performance to create truly exceptional lives. And Dave not only promotes a stellar life, he walks the walk as a husband, father and friend.
This conversation covers a ton of stellar content, and you will learn about the following:
- Dave's family and how he and his wife parent their 4 children under the age of 8
- how Dave and his wife Rio prioritize their relationship even in the midst of major life transitions and the trappings of busy day-to-day lives
- What it means to live a Stellar lifestyle, and how your habits form your disciplines that lead to BIG growth & success over time
- How prioritizing your personal health and living an active lifestyle will help you cultivate the mindset for success in all other areas
- Why Misogis are a sacred practice that anyone can adopt and use for incredible personal growth and self-discovery
- How Dave's faith in God propelled him through his 5-5-5 and lifted him out of some of the darkest & scariest moments
- How shifting your mindset from "have to" to "get to" - even in the face of immense challenge - can be the difference between quitting and continuing on
- How doing hard things opens the door to our greatest potential as we ask ourselves the question, "If I can do that, what else am I capable of?"
All this and more will be covered in this episode, and you will be sure to come away feeling inspired and encouraged on your own Uncommon journey!
