Show Notes

Would you embark on a 3,000 miles biking journey across America if you were asked to, right now?!


In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I chat with Jesse Itzler and his crew about the 3,000 miles journey across America they are about to embark on to donate bikes to youth. We discuss what mindset they have about this physically tiring journey, what the mental and physical training for such a challenge is like, and how they prepare for such a big challenge ahead of time.


Jesse also shares how he selected this year’s team and what every member of this team believes they will gain from accomplishing this cross-country biking challenge.


What we discuss:


:Why did Jesse want to start this?

:What is everyone’s background?

:What does the training for this type of sport look like?

:What happens if someone needs a break?

:What happens if the weather isn’t in their favor?

:How is nutrition during a challenge like this?

:What are the benefits of these types of challenges?

:How much support does everyone have from their significant other?

:How does one enter the flow state in a challenge like this?

:How did Jesse select his teammates?

:What are the craziest things this team has done?

:What will they do with the footage they get from this challenge?

:How many hours per day do they expect to be on the bike?

:What other things are on their bucket list?


Key takeaways:


  • It’s important to spend time with people who are different from you. Different ages, careers, industries, values, and situations expose you to new realities and wisdom you would never have known of before. An even better way to spend time with people who are different from you is during a challenging time; they will expose you to new perspectives you may have never thought of before.


  • Forcing yourself to take on new challenges that are beyond your comfort zone is what will allow your brain to expand and propel your growth.


  • Working towards a common goal as a team is what will allow you to get to the finish line. Sometimes, not everyone can pull their equal weight at the same time and that’s part of the game. As long as you all support yourselves in working towards that same goal, you’re set for success.
