What fuels the world's toughest endurance athletes? More importantly, how can their mindset help you push past your own limits?
In this episode of The Mankind Podcast, host Brandon Clift sits down with two extraordinary athletes:
🔹 Dion Leonard – Ultra-endurance runner & author of Finding Gobi, whose journey from self-destruction to elite racing took an unexpected turn when a stray dog changed his life.
🔹 Hunter Leininger – Record-breaking adventure racer who started competing at just seven years old and has been redefining what’s possible ever since.
Together, they dive into:
✅ The mindset shifts that help them keep going—even when their bodies scream to stop
✅ How gratitude fuels peak performance (and why you don’t need suffering to succeed)
✅ The power of answering the call to adventure, no matter where you are in life
✅ Why one act of kindness can change everything
From running 400+ kilometers across the Gobi Desert to surviving 50 days in the Alaskan wilderness, these two have faced it all. But the biggest lessons? They apply to everyone—whether you're an athlete, a parent, or someone looking to break through your own barriers.
