On the podcast, I get a chance to chat with Travis about tons of stuff. Travis is a really cool guy and super easy to talk to. He’s humble and, as you’ll find out on the podcast, despite the Jedi Master description I gave him, he stays humble. What a great guy!
In part 1 of our 2 part conversation you get to hear:
- What he had for breakfast
- His typical morning
- What can be worse than eating a burnt quesadilla
- How Travis got his start in endurance sport
- Process of learning and mindset
- Much more
- Stay tuned for part 2.
