All right, welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. My name is Michael Gervais. And in these conversations, what we're doing is working to understand from some of the best performers in the world, or people that are really hungry for mastery, what is their psychological framework? How do they understand how they work and how the world works? And what are the mental skills that they've used along this path to really refine their craft and have a deeper understanding in life? And what we've come to find is that there's so many different paths to mastery that these stories are rich. And the hope is that by listening, that we'll be able to decode so that you can walk away not just with an inspirational time that we're doing this, but really decode so that you can begin to maybe practice in a more meaningful way the mental skills that will help you facilitate and accelerate your own path. I want to take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I want to pose a question. What are you doing right now to be great with stress? How are you working with stress on your pursuit towards your most important ambitions and goals? And I just want to get right to the heart of the key elements, one in particular, for what it takes to excel in today's high heat, high stakes world. Because stress is not the problem that we think it is. Stress is a synonym for change. And our ability to be agile with change, that is the real opportunity at hand. So if you're wanting to unlock extraordinary results and sustainable performance in your life, it's not about avoiding or reducing stress. And as simple as that sounds, it's very tricky to do, but it is about fundamentally changing your relationship with it.

In this conversation, we sat down with Luke Tyburski, and he's an ultimate triathlete, and he's created an experience for himself to dedicate his life efforts to what he's calling the endurance adventure lifestyle. And so, he's really spent his time to push and to push at a pace that is potentially changing, you know, the game for some folks. So, here's what he set out to do.

In 12 days' time, he's going to go from Morocco to Monaco. And the way that he's setting it up is that he's going to swim the Gibraltar Strait, which is about 10 miles, and if there's currents or whatnot, maybe up to 14 miles. So it's the Gibraltar Strait from Africa. And then immediately he's going to jump on a bike and he's going to ride 900 miles. And that's basically the entire length of Britain.
