This conversation is with Joe Gagnon - endurance athlete, six-time CEO, and author of Living Intentionally. Joe has completed over 90 marathons and ultras, six Ironman triathlons, and recently finished the grueling Badwater 135. In this episode, we explore what it means to show up with purpose, the role of discomfort in growth, and how small, daily actions shape who we become. Joe shares lessons from his book, his extreme endurance challenges, and his mindset for building a life of grit, grace, and groundedness.

We discuss:

• Joe’s experience running Badwater 135
• His wake up call to start living his life more intentionally
• Changing his life one small habit at a time
• Transitioning to a plant-based diet
• The importance of having a strong why
• The five pillars of health - do something for each one intentionally each day
• Embracing discomfort
• Potatoes as an endurance event superfood
• Grit, grace, and groundedness
• Why having a mindfulness practice is of value
• His approach to goal setting

Welcome to the first episode of Here All Day! To kick off the relaunch, I’m joined by my partner, Blair Garneau - a jiu-jitsu athlete, artist, and illustrator. I’ve wanted to introduce Blair to my audience for a while now, and this felt like the perfect opportunity. This episode is more relaxed and unscripted than usual. We wanted to share a glimpse into where we’re both at in our lives - from career changes and identity shifts to how we’re thinking about goal setting and showing up moving forward. I hope you enjoy this episode and stay tuned for some great episodes to follow!
