Episode 27: My Dad, Michael Rosa (Part II)

Published: July 26, 2020, 10:36 p.m.

b"Today\\u2019s guest is my Dad, Michael Rosa. In his return the podcast, we expand on some of the things we touched on in the first conversation as well as fill in some of the pieces we didn\\u2019t cover. If you\\u2019re relatively new to the show, I would highly encourage you to listen to my first episode with my Dad before this one. The first episode (which is episode 1) goes over his upbringing and will provide you with the context that will make this episode much more enjoyable and understandable. If you have already listened to the first episode, welcome back. In this episode, we dive deeper into my Dad\\u2019s rigorous exercise history and regimen including his Ironman story. We discuss my brother Skyler (who has cerebral palsy) and what it\\u2019s been like to raise him. We honor my grandfather who recently passed away and discuss the lessons about business and life my Dad learned from him (I posted the link to my grandfather\\u2019s obituary in the episode description if you\\u2019d like to learn more about the extraordinary life he lived). Finally, we go into my Dad\\u2019s uber-competitive mindset and what\\u2019s next for him.\\nLink to my grandfather's obituary:\\xa0https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/obituary.aspx?n=domenic-rosa&pid=196479391&fhid=4699 (https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/bostonglobe/obituary.aspx?n=domenic-rosa&pid=196479391&fhid=4699)\\nTimestamps\\n00:02:26 Ironman story\\n00:12:56 Exercise routine after retirement\\n00:15:23 The large part surfing has played in his life\\n00:23:54 My brother Skyler\\n00:44:02 My grandfather\\n00:54:15 Entrepreneurship and leadership\\n01:04:16 Why he makes most things a competition\\n01:08:31 His daily routine\\n01:11:05 One thing he'd love to accomplish over the next few years"
