When you sit back allow yourself to really dream, often the dream you have is beautiful but it\u2019s also big, a little scary, and intimidating. Big dreams and big goals feel nearly impossible. It\u2019s hard to fathom how you\u2019re supposed to get from where you are in this moment to this far away goal that\u2019s hard to conceptualize. James \u201cIron Cowboy\u201d Lawrence completed 50 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons covering 7,030 miles with 0.24% of those miles completed indoors due to inclement weather. He joins Tom and breaks down the backlash he got for doing less than 17 miles indoors, and reveals the real mental fortitude and personal challenges he faced that lead him to deciding on completing 100 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons this time, plus one.\xa0James talks about what it really means to do hard things, and how the secret of achieving your goals is in the journey, the failures, and the lessons that prepare you for the actual goal. He\u2019s opening up about what his post-recovery has become and the challenges he\u2019s overcoming for that as well.\xa0\nOrder the Iron Cowboy\u2019s book, Redefining Impossible: https://amzn.to/3k4XhFQ \nCheck out James\u2019 1st Interview with Tom, Push Past Pain: https://youtu.be/cgU7abzvSQk\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES:\xa0\n1:02 | Why Do the Hard Things \n7:10 | 100% Physical & 100% Mental \n13:56 | Goals Change Perspective \n20:08 | Confront Your Weakness \n24:59 | 101 Iron-Distance Triathlons \n42:10 | Set Your Own Standards \n52:57 | Why Do 1 More Than 100 \n58:37 | Post-Recovery Stage\xa0\n\nFollow James Lawrence: \nWebsite: https://www.ironcowboy.com/ \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/IronCowboyJames \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IronCowboy/\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\xa0\nAthletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase! \nSign up at ButcherBox.com/impact and get 2 lbs of ground beef FREE in every order for the life of your membership. \nHelix Sleep: Go to HelixSleep.com/impact for up to $200 off your mattress and 2 free pillows. \nMindPump: mindpumpimpact.com \nSkillshare: Explore your creativity at skillshare.com/impacttheory for a 1 month FREE trial of Premium Membership.\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
