Ep 63: Beyond the Finish Line: Kenneth Whitacre on Bodybuilding, Ultra-Running, Crushing Goals & Examining Your BS!

That's the voice of Kenneth Whitacre.

It’s been almost a year since Kenneth was on the show. If you didn’t catch that conversation jump back and listen to Episode 32…

Kenneth is an Elevation & Performance Coach with a specialty in “Human Capacity”. This past year Kenneth has experienced a massive transition – both mentally and physically. 

Today, we explore it all… 

Kenneth talks about making our childhood dreams a reality, and he candidly talks about the how and the why behind his pivot from bodybuilding to ultra-running.

We talk about:

• The power of emersion and intentionality
• Getting real about our expectations
• And the importance of examining our own BS…

Kenneth walks us through what he calls the ‘fundamentals’: tools, habits, and processes – things we can all do to make the changes we want to see in our lives.

We talk about the emotional impact of achieving our goals and dreams and the impact it creates on the people around us.

He shares his “Bucket Hat” story - which is lovely!

Then Kenneth wraps it up by offering listeners some surprising tips, strategies, and sage advice.

You know, as I re-listen to this honest, heartfelt conversation I realize that I am also looking for the next mountain peaks. This conversation sparked reflection, caused me to re-consider some of my habits, and get more intentional with myself. I’d love to hear about how this conversation lands for you…

As you know, that is this exactly what this show is all about: helping – YOU – create a longer, stronger, more intentional life!
