Chief Endurance Officer

What can endurance training teach us about scaling a business, and how do you know when it’s time to build structure into your chaos? Professional speaker, fractional operations leader, and Ironman finisher Katrina Purcell joins Greg to share how endurance training has shaped her mindset as an entrepreneur and operations strategist. From running her first half-marathon to founding her own company, Katrina’s story shows how structure, discipline, and resilience translate into business growth. She reveals how she helps founders turn chaos into clarity when it’s time to start building SOPs, and why ruthless prioritization, not doing more, is the key to scaling sustainably.Takeaways:Structure fuels freedom. The discipline learned in endurance sports mirrors what’s required in business; building systems allows you to eventually step away.Start operational planning when you can’t take a week off. That’s your cue that your business depends too much on you and needs process support.Ruthless prioritization drives growth. 10x growth requires cutting more than adding; create a “not doing” list before a to-do list.Find your coach. Just like in Ironman training, every founder needs a guide, someone who can see what you can’t and keep you accountable.Celebrate progress, not just performance. High-performing teams thrive when leaders intentionally pause to recognize small wins.Failure breeds connection. Sharing setbacks builds authenticity, resilience, and stronger communities than sharing only successes.Journal the journey. Reflecting on your daily wins, losses, and learnings creates perspective and a roadmap for future challenges.Quote of the Show:"Growing 10x is easier than 2x because you have to not do a lot of things. People want to be different, but they don't wanna stop anything. " - Katrina PurcellThis Episode is Sponsored by TRIHARD!

How can endurance and curiosity fuel innovation in business and technology? As a physicist turned entrepreneur and triathlete, Markus Rummel has learned that the endurance mindset applies just as much to startups as it does to sport. Now the founder of AI Endurance, Markus is revolutionizing training through machine learning, helping athletes create personalized, data-driven plans that adapt in real time. In this conversation, he shares how tinkering with data as a side project evolved into a full-fledged company and what it takes to push through the long, uncertain road from idea to impact.Takeaways:Endurance applies to entrepreneurship. Success in business, like endurance sports, comes from consistent effort over time. You rarely see immediate results, but persistence compounds.Curiosity drives innovation. Markus’s company began with a simple question: “Why isn’t anyone using all this training data?” Great ideas often come from noticing what others overlook.Learn by doing and failing. Early versions of AI Endurance “sucked,” as Markus admits, but each iteration revealed the next right step. Failure is a teacher, not a verdict.Listen to your customers, not your friends. Real validation comes from strangers willing to pay and give honest feedback. That’s when you know you’re building something real.Fix your weakest link. Whether it’s cycling in a triathlon or a bottleneck in your product, continuous improvement starts by strengthening what holds you back the most.Balance vision with adaptability. Having a long-term vision is crucial, but so is staying agile. Endurance in leadership means knowing when to grind and when to pivot.Use AI to elevate human potential. Markus sees the future of AI as a partnership—where data and algorithms handle the analysis so humans can focus on performance, creativity, and connection.Quote of the Show:" Certain mistakes you just have to make because they give you a true appreciation for what could go wrong, how hard it is, and what's the right way to do things." - Markus RummelLinks:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markusrummel/  Company website: https://aiendurance.com/ Markus’ Email: markus@aiendurance.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.

How can building an endurance mindset transform the way leaders approach challenges in business and life? In this episode, Greg McDonough sits down with Lincoln Murdoch, a coach, speaker, author, and endurance athlete with over 40 years of competitive experience. From triathlons to leadership training, Lincoln has learned how the endurance mindset applies far beyond racing. He shares how setbacks shaped his self-confidence, the lessons from racing on the world stage, and how perseverance can carry over into every area of leadership and life.Takeaways:Endurance builds resilience. Just like in racing, leaders should expect setbacks, prepare for them, and keep moving forward when challenges arise.Deep roots matter. Leaders must anchor themselves in values, whether faith, family, or purpose, so they remain steady when adversity strikes.Confidence comes from perseverance. Success isn’t immediate; consistent effort and learning from failures build long-term confidence in leadership.Consistency is king. Growth comes from showing up daily, improving incrementally, and committing to the long game in both business and endurance sports.Turn intimidation into confidence. Endurance training teaches leaders to walk into any room, whether with clients, peers, or competitors, with quiet self-assurance.Success carries over. Accomplishments in one area, like athletics, reinforce discipline and courage that leaders can apply to every facet of life.Quote of the Show:" I discovered I had a gift.

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? Casey Taker has spent her career shaping endurance sports around the globe, from her time as Global Director of Athlete Development at the IRONMAN Group to her current role as Executive Vice President of Operations and Community Development at OCEANMAN. She’s also the co-founder of Salty Sports Society, where she continues to expand access to open water swimming. In this episode, Casey shares how an endurance mindset translates into leadership, community, and personal growth.Key Takeaways for Leaders:Redefine fear as information. Casey explains how breaking down fear into pride, ego, or risk gives you clarity and helps you move forward instead of freezing.Recognize emotional states before making decisions. Leaders who can pause and step back during moments of heightened emotion make clearer, more strategic choices.Embrace risk-taking communities. Surrounding yourself with others who push boundaries helps normalize risk and makes growth less intimidating.Lead with storytelling, not just outcomes. Casey highlights how Ironman grew when stories shifted from elite athletes to everyday participants, a reminder that authentic stories build culture.Start small and build confidence. Whether it’s open water swimming or a new business challenge, incremental wins compound into transformative outcomes.Create sustainable structures. True growth comes when big goals can be integrated into life, not forced in ways that create friction or burnout.Quote of the Show:" We're quick to set something to the side because it may be big and scary, whereas the more we can learn to face big and scary, the less scary it is." - Casey Taker Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/taker/  Company website: http://www.saltysportssociety.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/takerbythewater/?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.
