671. How One Run in New York Changed the Way I Think About Limits

Most of us aren’t held back by our talent, our resources, or our circumstances, we’re held back by the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. 

In today’s episode, Brian shares a powerful moment from a weekend in New York with his daughter that exposed a hidden “governor” on his own performance. What he discovered on an eight-mile run in Central Park wasn’t about fitness; it was about identity, limitation, and the way our self-labels quietly cap our potential.

If you’ve ever said “That’s just who I am… That’s just my pace… That’s just my limit…” this episode is a wake-up call. Brian breaks down why our identity becomes our speed limit, how to question the labels that hold us back, and how to remove the governor so we can finally run at the speed we’re actually capable of—not the speed we’re conditioned to believe.

This one will challenge you. It will also free you.

Because you’re not a nine-minute miler. You’re whatever you decide to be, if you’re willing to change the story.
