THE RUNNING EFFECT PODCAST

Today I have the privilege of having a conversation with someone I look up to greatly. Someone who is challenging the status quo in every area of his life. A man who has done more in his short 19 years on Earth than most humans could ever dream of in their lifetime. I'm talking about the only and only Max Reisinger. As of writing this, Max has reached over 25,386,866 people through the optimistic content that he regularly produces on Youtube. Max also runs multiple successful companies as well; a testament to his work ethic and dedication.  In our conversation, Max and I discuss many different subjects from his personal running to Youtube. I ask him questions about failure, rejection, vulnerability, journaling, delayed gratification, and much more! Max gives insightful answers that help YOU the listener in becoming a better version of yourself.  We also discuss some fun subjects like how long Max could hang with the GOAT Eliud Kipchoge and what he would cook Gordan Ramsay for dinner.  Please like, subscribe, and share with your friends if you enjoyed today’s episode!

Yesterday the prestigious Clovis Invitational took place at the iconic Woodward Park. Leo Young set a new meet record (eclipsing his older brother Nico's previous record) by running 14:25.9.

On top of talking about Clovis, we discuss: How their training is going including the most impressive workout of the past month (hint: it’s unbelievable) What National Meet they plan on racing Their go-to Chick-Fil-A order Thanksgiving vs Christmas Best/worst XC courses they’ve run And much more!

In sixth grade, I came across a book called “Peak Performance” by authors Steve Magness and Brad Stulberg. This book fascinated me. So when the same two authors came out with their next book “The Passion Paradox” I read that too. This book completely transformed the way I thought and was instrumental in me starting this very podcast!  So when the opportunity to interview Brad came up, I was beyond stoked. Brad is a man of many talents. He is one of the best public speakers I’ve ever heard of, one of my favorite authors, and is an excellent human being. While I expected the interview to go well, it exceeded my exceptions. Brad is easily one of the most thoughtful guests I’ve ever had on the show. He is wise beyond his years and knows the science of high-performing individuals at a level that I’m not sure many people can comprehend. This is one of my favorite podcasts I’ve recorded, but also one in which I personally grew the most. The subjects that Brad dives into are meaningful and helpful in a plethora of subjects. If you were to listen to one podcast this week, I encourage you to carve out 45min of your time to listen to this one. I'm immeasurably confident that you'll be impacted in a positive way by the subjects discussed.  Lastly, give Brad a follow on Instagram. The content he posts daily is invaluable.
