50 Interviews Podcast

I'm very excited about how the audio version of 50 Athletes Over 50 is progressing. This is a sample of a chapter that discusses lessons learned from interviews I had with over-50 athletes. In this chapter, beyond the lessons, you will hear actual recordings from the original interviews. I think you will agree, these excerpts are engaging and entertaining. I'd love to know what you think.

Terry Peterson is one of the 50 amazing athletes featured in Don McGrath's book 50 Athletes over 50 Teach Us to Live a Strong, Healthy Life - part of the award winning 50 Interviews book series.

You will hear excerpts from an wild 53 year old mountain unicyclist from Redondo Beach, California, who has what Don calls a “nuclear” personality. His energy and passion for MUni, as its called, is palpable even over the phone. Terry participated in running and golf over the years, but only came to MUni about three and a half years ago. Terry found that in his late forties he had gained weight, had high cholesterol, and got winded very easily. Tuning and servicing pianos at his business had him fairly sedentary during much of his workday. Running bothered his knees, bicycling seemed boring, swimming was inconvenient, and he was searching for what to do. Bingo, he stumbled on a website, unicycle.com, and he was amazed to see how far the advances in unicycles had come since he last rode one in his teens. Fast forward to today, Terry is a sponsored, and extremely accomplished MUni rider. Since he started riding MUni he lost 31 pounds of fat, went from a 34” to a 29” waist, and is in the best shape of his life.

In research for my book 50 Athletes Over 50, I became interested in the importance that PLAY has in keeping us motivated to stay fit as we age. I crossed paths with Frank Forencich and we had a chance to have a chat about the importance of PLAY, how our modern society works to derail our instinct for it, and the importance of dirt, yes dirt, in staying healthy. I hope you enjoy this insightful and fun interview.

These 5 distinctions distill the wisdom from the successful entrepreneurs interviewed for the book: 50 Interviews: Entrepreneurs Thriving in Uncertain Times which features exclusive interviews with over 50 notable entrepreneurs including: Kim Jordan of New Belgium Brewing Co., Jake Jabs of American Furniture Warehouse, Christine Comaford, Allen Fishman of TAB, Bob Parsons of Go Daddy, and Michael Gerber of E-Myth. These are the common threads they all shared that not only result in great businesses, but more fulfilling lives:

1. Uncover a consuming passion. The more you share, the stronger it becomes. Similar to an addiction, they can't turn it off and it rarely feels like work. 2. Define an impersonal goal. You have discovered a purpose greater than yourself. You do it despite the money. It's more about the impact on other people than on you. 3. Learn to Embrace Risk. Entrepreneurs see risk as dashing into the future with hope and the possibility to move closer towards their impersonal goal. Many have shared that once they accept the worst possible outcome, they feel empowered to take action. 4. Emulate to Learn, Innovate to Earn. Emulating is a great way to get onto the field, but all great accomplishment in the world has stemmed from someone doing something different. Eventually, you need to blaze your own trail and innovate to find success. 5. Develop an ability to shift perspective. You will no doubt face many challenges and setbacks along the way. The key to not letting those setbacks impact you lies in your ability to shift your perspective and see the circumstances from a different light. Faith is at the root of one's ability to shift perspective. A Faith comes from overcoming earlier setbacks, knowing that in the end, everything works itself out, one way or another!

In this first installment of the 50 Interviews Podcast, we are proud to share an unabridged interview with one of today's most successful speakers, Mark Sanborn. Mark is the best known for authoring the best selling title 'The Fred Factor'. His interview is one of 26 interviews with highly successful professional speakers featured in 'Finding Speaking Success: Mentoring Tips From THe Masters' available at www.50speakers.com.

To set the stage for this episode...

Normally, people gravitate towards the things that they excel at. Mark Sanborn, on the other hand, became a professional speaker because he completely botched his first attempt at public speaking – a short speech on safety that he gave at the age of 10 through his local 4-H Club. Humiliated but not defeated, young Mark set out to get to the root of his speaking struggles.

To say that he succeeded would be an understatement. Mark Sanborn became a professional speaker by the age of 27 with wide experience in sales and marketing and as the state and national president of the Future Farmers of America already under his belt. Today, he is the founder and president of Sanborn & Associates, Inc., an idea studio that specializes in developing exceptional leaders and businesses.

Mark is one of 25 speakers we interviewed for volume 1 of Finding Speaking Success: Mentoring Tips from the Masters (now available at Amazon.com). We hope you enjoy this exclusive interview with Mark Sanborn. If you would like to learn more about the book in which Mark is featured, visit www.50speakers.com
