Episode description as stored

What if fatigue, fear, and even failure aren’t real limits, but signals from the brain trying to protect us? Nick Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic and former Editor-in-Chief of Wired reveals the surprising psychology behind fatigue, focus, and fear and how our biggest limits often come from within. Nick isn’t just one of the most thoughtful leaders in media, he’s also a record-breaking ultramarathoner who’s learned that endurance begins in the mind. This conversation will change how you think about performance, aging, and the power of effort itself. Nick's wonderful new book is The Running Ground .
