Cru Mahoney hasn't missed a run in over 2,900 days, and he says discipline has nothing to do with it.
Cru spends the rest of his time coaching people back into a relationship with themselves, and today he joins me, your host Ste Lane, for a second time to talk about what changes when the pursuit stops being fueled by fear and starts being fueled by trust.
A year ago, he was just entering a new relationship. Now he's a year in, deeper into jujitsu, and rethinking what "consistency" even means once the fear runs out.
Our entire conversation turns on one paradox: the people capable of everything feel most incapable, and the people doing nothing feel like the man. From there, it opens into relationships, loneliness, sprinting as the real fountain of youth, and why he'd rather be positively delusional than accurately pessimistic.
If you've ever suspected you're chasing the wrong thing, this episode is for you.
