Reset Your Values & Choices & Live A Fulfilled Life - The Art Of Not Giving A F*ck
Today, we steer off the beaten path to explore a universal truth that impacts every facet of our lives, including our journey toward health, happiness, and longevity. Inspired by Mark Manson's best-selling book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck," Anthony delves deep into the core of human struggles and choices.
In this episode:
Why the "struggles" you choose define your life.
The Stoic approach to doing good work for its own sake, untethered by external validation.
How a "Feedback Loop from Hell" can sabotage your progress, and why it's okay to sometimes feel bad.
A powerful corporate-world analogy that asks the question: Are your values rooted in external factors or are they grounded internally?
Tune in to re-evaluate and possibly reset your values and choices, paving the way for a life filled with meaningful struggles and fulfilling rewards. This episode is a must-listen for anyone striving for a better, more authentic life.

Redefining Performance: The Untold Secrets of Adaptive Capacity and Disease Prevention
In this eye-opening episode of the Roadman Cycling Podcast, host Anthony Walsh sits down with Dr. Eric Korem, an applied performance scientist whose work has far-reaching implications for anyone looking to live a healthier, happier, and longer life. We explore the concept of adaptive capacity—how you can harness stress to become a more resilient individual and a better athlete.

What You'll Learn
The science behind building your adaptive capacity as an athlete and as a person.
The crucial role that community plays in disease prevention and overall well-being.
How to optimize your brain's detoxification system for better health.

"Freelance" Bike Rider with Joe Laverick
Joe Laverick is a friend of the show and has been a guest on a few occasions. Joe dreamed of getting a World Tour contract but even though he made it to the best u23 team in the world he failed to make the step up. But instead of stepping away from the sport Joe decided to reimagine what it is to be a pro cyclist and so began a new adventure in bike racing. Today Anthony chats to Joe about this new venture and what it's like to leave a team where everything was taken care of to now being an independent "privateer".
