We'll discuss how mental conditioning shapes top-tier athletes, how AI will impact the world of business and sport and dive into how the perception of effort can redefine what we believe is possible. His profound knowledge helps us understand the intricacies of endurance, not just in sport, but in every challenging aspect of our lives, so I know you are going to love this episode with the incredible Alex Hutchinson.

Charlie shares his personal and professional journey from a farmer's son to a successful financial planner and finally to a business coach with a keen interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and goal setting.

My journey has been a blend of relentless pursuit and strategic pauses, marked by completing four Ironman competitions, running ultra-marathons, and navigating the peaks and valleys of entrepreneurship. Founding, building, and exiting one of the UK's premier financial planning practices wasn't just a career move; it was a testament to my belief in living life on my terms, integrating work with my passion for endurance sports. This narrative isn't solely about the finish lines crossed or the business milestones achieved; it's about the philosophy of taking three months off every year. Having authored four books, I've sought to distill the lessons learned from the endurance required in sports, business, and life into insights that resonate beyond the pages. As Claire delves into my story, we'll explore the essence of balancing high performance with true enjoyment, the challenges of maintaining this equilibrium, and the victories—both big and small—that have defined my journey. It's a tale of ambition, resilience, and the art of crafting a life that celebrates achievement while embracing the joy of living.Please Subscribe to Business of Endurance on Apple Podcasts, leave a comment, and give us a 5-Star review.

India Lee, or Indie as she prefers to be known, is a British triathlete renowned for her versatility and strength in multisport events. With a passion for sport deeply ingrained from a young age, Indie has evolved from a runner in her younger days to a world class triathlete. Her journey in this gruelling sport reflects not only her love for competition but also her zest for life, finding joy in travelling the world and immersing herself in the triathlon lifestyle. Indie is known for her fierce independence, her love for cycling, and a deep bond with her dog, Ruby. With a unique ability to fix anything that's broken, she embodies a spirit that's both determined and reflective, and is as good an example of a growth mindset as you will see. Lee's career took a significant turn in 2018 when she stepped up to middle-distance racing, promptly making a mark with her victory at Ironman 70.3 Weymouth. Her accolades include being a double European champion, and her transition to Ironman racing suggests more exciting chapters ahead. Notably, she also played a pivotal role in pacing Kat Matthews during the historic Sub8 challenge. In this episode, we discuss the benefit of a growth mindset, the benefits of doing your own mechanics.

In this episode, Charlie and Claire welcome Sebastien Bellin, a former professional basketball player recounts his journey from global traveller with his parents, to sports as a means of cultural immersion, to eventually becoming deeply invested in the sports industry. Sebastien shares the story of his near-fatal encounter with a bombing at Brussels airport, where he was severely injured and nearly lost both his legs.
Despite these challenges, he managed to maintain consciousness long enough to stay alive due to his high glucose levels from enjoying pasta carbonara the night before the tragedy. Post recovery, he set a seemingly unrealistic goal of competing in the Ironman race in Hawaii, which he was able to successfully achieve.
Throughout his story, Sebastien emphasises the importance of staying present and having a positive outlook on life. He also discusses the differences between fixing and healing oneself, and shares insights on the significance of quality vs quantity, and how focusing on immeasurable qualities can help one see no limits in life.Highlights:

He has since become an inspirational figure, sharing his story of resilience and recovery, which includes completing the Ironman in Kona, Hawaii in 2022.
