Triathlete Chris Bystriansky on Perseverance and Writing a Memoir

One of the universal truths of doing anything worthwhile is that you will feel like giving up at times. We all know that writing is hard work. But that’s only part of it. There’s the marketing, the business side, the relationship building, and so many other elements of running a writing business that can sap your energy. When things don’t go the way you planned, it’s easy to quit… unless you’ve decided ahead of time that you’re going to stick it out and persevere. That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to my friend Chris Bystriansky, who recently released his book, New Steel: Replace Doubt and Fear with Resolve and Courage: From Two Hip Replacements to Two Triathlon Finishes. Chris tells the story of going through a major health challenge, then going on to finish not just one, but two, triathlons. Chris is a husband, father, real estate investor, attorney, author, speaker, coach, IRONMAN, golfer, traveler, and much more. He has a BA in Psychology from Illinois Wesleyan University, a law degree from the University of Houston, and an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business. Chris is also the author of a fantastic book with a great title: Renting From My 6-Year Old: The Right Actions That Can Make and Keep Your Family Rich. In this conversation, Chris and I talk about his journey from hip replacements to finishing two triathlons and what writers can learn about persevering through hard challenges. We also talk about why writers need to set health and fitness goals and where to start. Finally, Chris shares some thoughts on how he wrote his memoir. If you’ve been considering writing your own story, you’ll find a lot of value in what Chris shares. You can connect with Chris via his website, https://chrisbystriansky.com/. * * * Today’s episode is sponsored by Vellum, the go-to book formatting software for indie authors who care about creating beautiful ebooks and print books.
