Chief Endurance Officer

What does it mean to build endurance in your mind, and how can leaders apply it to business and life? In this episode of Chief Endurance Officer, Greg McDonough sits down with Marc Champagne, mental fitness strategist, bestselling author, and host of Behind the Human. Marc shares his journey from the corporate world to becoming a pioneer in mental fitness, and how developing an “endurance mindset” helped him overcome setbacks, navigate burnout, and support high-performing leaders and teams. Through practical strategies and personal stories, Marc reveals why mental fitness is as critical as physical training and how leaders can audit their daily habits, fuel their minds with the right “mental nutrition,” and build resilience for both business and life.Takeaways:Mental endurance is built through daily practices, not just in crisis moments. Checking in with yourself even briefly can reset your mindset and prevent burnout.Burnout in business mirrors endurance sports: without recovery and rest, you’ll eventually break down. Leaders must prioritize recovery as much as effort.A clear goal or “event” in business can motivate consistency, just as training for an Ironman keeps athletes focused during tough days.Mental audits help leaders see where their attention and energy are going. Use this data without judgment to align habits with your bigger goals.Teams thrive when they’re mentally fit. Survival mode limits creativity and decision-making, while mental fitness unlocks peak performance.Leaders set the tone by modeling practices, like journaling, sleep routines, or reflection, that foster clarity and resilience in their organizations.Asking better questions leads to better leadership. Reflection builds self-awareness, which is the foundation for sustainable growth and innovation.Quote of the Show:" It's hard to start building tactics and practices if you don't have the self-awareness muscle built up." - Marc ChampagneLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-champagne-%F0%9F%A7%A0%F0%9F%92%AA-14767b17/  Company website: https://www.mchampagne.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mchampagne/ Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

In this episode, Greg sits down with Mike Alberts, Principal and Head of Business Development at Cohere Capital, a 3x Ironman finisher, and a passionate advocate for endurance sports. Mike shares how lessons learned from triathlon, consistency, resilience, and community have shaped both his personal life and professional career. From reframing training as “layers of paint” to building authentic relationships through shared runs, Mike shows that endurance sports aren’t just about racing; they’re about creating a mindset that drives success in business and beyond.Takeaways:Consistency is the foundation of growth. Just like triathlon training, business success comes from small, steady efforts compounded over time.Support systems matter. Whether in family, sport, or leadership, surrounding yourself with people who encourage you makes challenges more manageable.Community creates resilience. Shared experiences outside the boardroom, like running or biking, can build deeper relationships than formal meetings.Don’t chase perfection. Progress often comes with setbacks—embracing imperfection can reduce pressure and lead to better performance.Reframe goals as learning opportunities. Shifting from performance goals to learning goals takes pressure off and builds long-term confidence.Vulnerability builds trust. Sharing authentic struggles, like Mike’s wife racing through illness, inspires teams to push forward even when things aren’t ideal.Business, like endurance sports, is personal. Finding what motivates people beyond their work strengthens relationships and makes leadership more impactful.Quote of the Show:" Don't give up because pain's temporary and quitting is forever." - Mike AlbertsLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/albertsmike/ Company website: https://www.coherecapital.com/  Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

What can endurance sports teach leaders about fear, risk, and resilience?

How can the endurance mindset help us thrive in business, leadership, and parenting? Today’s guest is an inspiring leader in performance and purpose! Introducing Matt Dixon, former professional triathlete, Olympic trials finalist, and CEO of Purple Patch Fitness. Matt joins host Gregory McDonough to share how endurance traits like resilience and adaptability shape his approach to work and family. He also delves into strategies for balancing ambition with sustainability and how athletic skills translate into entrepreneurial success.Takeaways:Embracing discomfort and change as necessary parts of growth helps build mental toughness and prepares you for unexpected shifts. The endurance mindset isn’t exclusive to athletes; it's a valuable framework for anyone.Skills developed in one domain, such as discipline, focus, and adaptability in athletics, can be applied powerfully in new contexts like business or entrepreneurship.Rather than adding new ambitions onto an already full schedule, it’s more effective to thoughtfully integrate them into your existing commitments. This approach ensures that personal growth supports, rather than competes with, other areas of life.Being receptive to feedback, collaboration, and diverse perspectives enables continual improvement. True coachability means being willing to evolve, even when it’s uncomfortable, and building a support system that challenges you. Involving others in your planning process creates alignment and a sense of shared purpose. Regular check-ins ensure that expectations are clear and that your ambitions are seen as inclusive rather than isolating.Prioritizing quality over quantity allows you to make meaningful progress while avoiding burnout, while being flexible and adjusting your plan to life’s changing demands is often more effective.Quote of the Show:“ Real success comes when you integrate a challenge-based lifestyle to fuel not just your longevity and health, but also how you show up as a partner, father, or mother.” - Matt DixonLinks:Matt’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattdixonppf/ Matt’s Company Website, Purple Patch Fitness: https://www.purplepatchfitness.com/   Purple Patch Fitness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/purplepatchfitness/?hl=en Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

What does it take to transform a traditional sport into a dynamic global movement? Today’s guest is a visionary reimagining endurance sports! Introducing Michael D’hulst, co-founder and CEO of Supertri. Michael partners with host Gregory McDonough to share how an endurance mindset, shaped by his roots and triathlon passion, fueled his entrepreneurial journey. He also delves into adapting through uncertainty, building community, and making triathlons more accessible and exciting for all.Takeaways:Stay calm under pressure and train yourself to expect the unexpected. In both sport and business, success often comes from absorbing challenges and responding thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively.When faced with setbacks, encourage bold and even unconventional ideas. Creativity thrives under pressure, and what starts as a wild concept can lead to real innovation.Set a clear, inspiring direction and keep your team focused on what’s possible. Celebrating small wins and staying future-focused helps maintain motivation during uncertain times.Remove rigid barriers so that more people can participate, engage, and grow within your community or product. Inclusive design and targeted programs can dramatically expand your reach and impact.Don’t hesitate to initiate conversations, even if you feel underqualified or unsure. Many opportunities begin with a simple message or unexpected connection.Focus on building a loyal, engaged community rather than relying solely on traditional revenue streams. Use digital platforms to amplify your message, create connections, and scale your vision.Quote of the Show:“ We have that ecosystem where the professionals inspire and build the brand, they create the reach, and inspire participation. In turn, the participation is building the community.” - Michael D’hulstLinks:Michael’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mdhulst/ Supertri’s Website: https://supertri.com/ Supertri’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/supertri_/ Michael’s Email: Michael@supertri.com Ways to Tune In:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/580aLDKac1ld031W4nWDtp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chief-endurance-officer/id1680214218?uo=4Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy50cmFuc2lzdG9yLmZtL2NoaWVmLWVuZHVyYW5jZS1vZmZpY2Vy Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3c96880f-8dcd-4a6e-b1c8-fda816f872a9 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4340732 Deezer: https://www.deezer.com/show/5897357 Player FM: https://player.fm/series/series-3462719 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-5250102 Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/chief-endurance-officer-ringmaster-KMdv2I8XwkN/ Keep up to date on our social accounts:Check out our Website: http://enduranceofficer.com/ Community Discount Link: https://ceopodcast.myezrewards.com/signup/chief-endurance-officer-podcast  Join my Endurance Leadership Community: https://endurance-leadership-community.mn.co/share/_C3ZDRz7OX2vbCme?utm_source=manual Chief Endurance Officer is produced by Ringmaster, on a mission to create connections through B2B podcasts.

What can a former pro athlete teach us about endurance, money mindset, and redefining success? Today’s guest is inspiring, resilient, and purpose-driven! Introducing Matt Morizio, CEO of Reconstructing Wealth. Matt joins host Gregory McDonough to share his journey from professional baseball to financial advising and how personal struggle shaped his mission to help others rethink their relationship with money. He also delves into the power of emotional detachment from wealth, investing in yourself, and why staying in the game matters most. Takeaways:Endurance isn’t just about working hard; it’s about staying committed when things get tough. True progress comes from pushing through setbacks and staying focused, even when the path forward isn’t clear.Instead of letting it cause stress or define your worth, see money as a tool you can use intentionally by assigning every dollar a specific purpose.For entrepreneurs, invest in yourselves and your businesses, even if that means putting less into traditional savings. The best returns often come from betting on your own potential. Get advice from people who’ve actually faced similar challenges as you. Mentors who have been through it themselves can offer more useful, real-world guidance.Focus on being empathetic, honest, and transparent. By sharing your struggles and being real with people, you can build stronger trust and connection.Emotional detachment from money and outcomes is valuable.
