EP 220: Pushing Limits Leadership Inspiration from Ultra Distance Athletes with Bryan Gillette

The Jens Heitland Show - Human Innovation

Bryan Gillette is a long-distance runner and cyclist who has pushed himself beyond physical and mental limits in various self-supported tours and races. He completed a 205-mile run around Lake Tahoe in 76 ½ hours with only 90 minutes of sleep.

His experiences in endurance sports have led him to write a book titled "EPIC Performance." In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Gillette has also found success in the business world. He founded Summiting Group, a company that coaches executives and advises leaders on performing at higher levels for themselves and their teams. Gillette lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his family.

In the episode we talk about his experiences, how he lead himself through all the tough endeavors and what he learned about leadership from interviewing 100 executives which he documented in his book.
