Consistently Good Not Occasionally Great - Nick Bare - #488

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Nick Bare. He's the founder of Bare Performance Nutrition, an endurance racer, YouTuber and a podcaster. Being consistently good will beat being occasionally great, but consistency is hard to find when life throws setbacks, business failures, injuries and babies at you. However, Nick has found a way to balance everything, and today we get to discover how. Expect to learn why doubters shouldn't affect your performance, why Go One More is a useful rule for everything in life, how Nick avoids burnout when juggling lots of projects, where the drive to get up at 5am every day comes from, how gut instinct can beat brain power, and much more. Nick is the geyser beast. He ran a sub 250 marathon at 200 pounds. He's done ultra races, he's done 24 hour races, and this is all whilst running a huge supplement company and balancing a life and still keeping muscle mass on. He's an impressive guy and he seems like, I spent a good bit of time with him, someone that's really filled with integrity and virtue. That's what he's optimizing for. I think he's a great role model. Don't forget that if you are listening, you should also have got a copy of the Modern Wisdom reading list, 100 books that you should read before you die.
