Summary

Mike Reilly is the voice of the Ironman. He has lent his voice to over 1000 events and his declaration, you are an ironman, has helped transform lives. Reilly takes great care in choosing his words because he knows they’ll have not just an impact on the racer’s life, but everyone around him as well. Reilly is a firm believer in the power of the individual to shape their own experience, but this doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t benefit from some words of encouragement to propel them towards the next finish line.

Lessons:

1. If you live by the adage, “you’re the cause of your own experience,” you’re on the right path.
2. Experiences, unlike things, permeate to other people which makes them more valuable.
3. Live from the inside out and everything else falls into place.
